LOVE it. This makes me nostalgic for the old parking and entrance. I do miss being able to park right in front of the gates...but I wouldn't trade the new stuff for it. - JinglePoe  289.9 #685 8:28PM
It's a fair trade - ScooterMike  1959.8 #37 8:39PM

Evergone must have been rich in the 50's... they all had Classic cars... 😜 - BambooMike  129.3 #2639 2:32PM
What an awesome photo! Thanks for sharing! =) - MrsHatbox  207.5 #1564 2:35PM
My condolences for your Husbands unfortunate accident... 😜 - BambooMike  129.3 #2639 2:44PM
What happened?? - PrinceTeaJack  804.2 #120 2:51PM
From what I've heard Mr. Hatbox worked in the Haunted Masion when it first opened, but was relieved of his position soon after due to technical issues. I guess he was "a head" of his time... It's my attempt at a Hatbox ghost joke... 😔 - BambooMike  129.3 #2639 3:06PM
Haha Thanks! =P - MrsHatbox  207.5 #1564 4:16PM
😁 - BambooMike  129.3 #2639 4:27PM
Love the cars - MickeyMouse0312  54.3 #3720 2:37PM
How awsome would it be to park that close still? Oh well times change. The walk is totally worth it! - Disneymomab  15.1 #5775 2:45PM
Woooooow! I don't think I ever saw this parking (or if I did I don't remember)... That is an awesome photo! I wish I could park that close, but I'm very grateful for DCA - SPandEvLover  819.6 #116 3:06PM
I remember having the privilege of being a premium passholder and parking at the front in preferred parking. Those were the days! - Plutopia  211.1 #1498 4:37PM
I LOVE this pic! Thank you for sharing Scooter Mike! I just adore classic cars! If gas wasn't so darn expensive I'd be driving one as my everyday driver! - Duchess_SMK  3540.7 #10 4:41PM
I used to drive classic cars regularly. Now I have my daughter and drive a modern car. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #37 4:45PM
Isn't it weird that they didn't have seatbelts?! Lol we have a chevy biscayne sitting in our driveway right now but hardly drive it because of the kids. - Duchess_SMK  3540.7 #10 5:29PM
I put seatbelts in my 1959 Edsel when I had the interior redone. My other classics don't have them. They were not required until 1968. Old cars are grandfathered. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #37 5:52PM
Cool picture! Didn't CM park to the right of the entrance? - snappy  274.6 #805 5:13PM
Yes, we did! - Gia  794.1 #122 5:26PM
