Hula Hoop Disneyland

Blast to the Past 1988 and '89

This next shoot we've seen before,
and yes, Snow White was really hula hooping 3 hoops and
The Giant jukebox in the middle of the hub housed a DJ in the top

I love this birds eye view...During one of the 50s events at the park
I hosted a show out at Small World Mall
In the show we had a champion Yo-yo , Frisbee and Hula Hoopest.
I picked up a Hoop and was a natural...who knew?
Myself and 3 others were booked as entertainment
out a Videopolis at night.
But before the sun went down we would do pre-parade on mainstreet
[I love the crowd control girls face]

What's of note in this shot isn't the hula hooping
but the stage that was built in front of the Train Station steps!
[This picture was mailed to me from a guest]

This shot was taken on the Videopolis Stage

Disneyland 1965

I'm home visiting my parents and went through the old photo albums
and found this gems from 1965.
My brother took these pictures with his little camera
[the one my mother is holding above]
not the greatest photographer, but then again he was 8 years old!

Grad Nite 65'

Such Art in a photograph for an 8 year old!

Fiddler Pig!
My mother told me that Fiddler scared the crap out of me!

So a pig scares me, but not a Giant Rabbit!
You can see the bill of my Donald Duck hat
in the bottom of the picture.

Fan Mail Photos!

Everyday the characters at Disneyland get Fan Mail!
In the 80s and 90s each one would be answered
from the characters with one of these photos
with an autograph...
