Christmas of long ago...

The Shopping pass of days gone by...

Christmas 1977
Backstage at Main Street step off.
before the parade.

A couple of years later Mickey and Minnie were
riding in style...
in a horse drawn carriage.

THE
VERY MERRY
CHRISTMAS PARADE
1977
This was the Opening Float.

Mickey and Minnie rode in the Electric car...
so ahead of the times!

Baloo and Louie in Christmas Garb.

Little John and Frier Tuck

Backstage:
Elliot awaits the Parade...
This was a great float, Made of foam!
when it would rain he was like one Giant Sponge!

The First Very Merry Christmas Parade

31 Years ago...
I got my job at Disneyland
Cast as a Dancing Penguin with Mary Poppins.
I was living in northern CA. at the time
and would fly down on weekends for rehearsals
[This was when a flight would cost $18 round trip!]

The Parade route

This was the audition/casting card.
I can't believe I kept this stuff!

Backstage Before the parade

My First DL I.D.

Our float was the last of the music box floats...
I love how it looks like Mary is being hung by the weather vane!
and he Balloon train behind us...
