Fantasyland from the Skyway around 1969

There is a lot to see in the picture, which was taken around 1969. The Chicken of the Sea Pirate ships (for tuna sandwiches) Casey Jr., Storybook Land, Alice and the Skyway.  Another interesting feature is the change in the paint color of the ground at the lower right hand corner of the picture.  Notice that it goes from green to magenta (?) it indicates the change in the "Land" that you are in.  The Green was for Fantasyland and the Magenta was for Tomorrowland.

Mr Mole with Mr Rat & Mr Toad, outside Toad's Wild Ride

These are plaques outside of the Mr. Toad's Wild ride.  This is a great example of depth of field.  Notice that the one in the center is in focus and the two other ones are blurred.  By using a wide open f-stop (a low number) and focusing just on the center plaque the other two will come out blurred.
The one on the left is Mr. Rat, the center one is Mr. Mole and the one on the right is Mr Toad.
