The White Rabbit "I'm Late, I'm Late"

The White Rabbit "I'm Late, I'm Late",  This is around the corner from the Alice in Wonderland ride.

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.

Storybook Land (pre-1971)

I am not sure when this picture was taken, sometime before 1971 is about all I can figure out.

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.

Pinocchio with Geppetto both waiting and hoping for him to become a real boy

Pinocchio was released on February 7, 1940 as the War in Europe was heating up.  It won two Academy Awards, Best Music, Original Score and Best Music, Original Song for "When you Wish Upon a Star".  That song has been recorded by Glenn Miller, Rosemary Clooney, Harry James, Linda Ronstadt, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Tony Bennett, Dave Brubeck, Brian Wilson and many more.
This is from the ride at Disneyland.
