What a great idea! I love these photos! Such great memories!
I love looking at older pictures of the parks. There is so much history and you know that this was an important part of someone’s life. Really cool.
That brings back so many memories. It really harkens back to the old times when things were much simpler. Great post!
Hahaha this is great! I went in 1996 and my mom was devastated when she saw the castle as a cake. I thought it was hilarious.
This is a nice collection. I like to see the clothes, the characters, the colors. Oh, and that Dale with the not meeting neck line…LOL. These pictures definitely bring some smiles to my face.
