Sleeping Beauty's Castle 1967!
Only a few minor changes have been made over the years. The coat of arms (not Disney's) is on the castle. It was added sometime between June or July 1965. These pictures have come to mean so much to me, thanks for letting me share them with you. This picture was taken by a family member. I am the little one in the stroller.
Thank-you everyone for your kind comments! Without MW these pictures would only be seen by a very few, thanks for letting me share them. What an amazing app!! - adisneyfamily

Good morning & Happy Mothers Day to all the MW Mamas! This day in Disney history, May 12th, 1956.
The Main Street Horseless Carriage begins operating @ Disneyland.
It was the 1st vehicle to run w/out the use of horsepower, & I mean the four-legged kind. At that time, there were three other vehicles in operation, all horse drawn…the Fire Wagon, Street Car, & Surrey. All were designed by Disney More...
So cool! And Happy Mother's Day! Yes I've been on all the Main Street vehicles at one time or another! They certainly add to the charm of Main Street. My favorite has always been the Omnibus on the top level!!! So fun! I love the sounds of the motor and the horn of the cars going down the street. With the music, sights and sounds... That's what Main Street U.S.A. is all about! Thank you SMK! What a great part of Disney history! - MyPark

Thank you so much for this amazing post, as she is truly someone to be honored. I have had the fortune of meeting Alice and Marc on three occasions and they were the most gracious people, who were incredibly touched by the kind words and compliments from people. The last time I saw them was three weeks before he passed away and he was telling me stories of when he worked on HM and she was having to lovingly finish his sentences for him. I have the biggest soft spot for them, out of all the imagineers, and it is just wonderful seeing this post, thank you again!❤ - Nala

Good morning! This day in Disney history, May 9th, 1941.
Disney's Donald Duck cartoon "A Good Time for a Dime" , Directed by Dick Lundy is released. Donald visits a penny arcade where he finds a risqué Daisy dancing in one of the nickelodeon shows, as well as a few unexpected battles. To watch: http://is.gd/zixi86
Oh Fun!!! Love Donald!! These are such great classic cartoons. I love how it shows the simple, mechanical machines of 1941. No computers, no 3D graphics, no scores... you'd play a simple game and get a simple prize. Thank you SMK for another look from your Disney History time machine! I love all your History posts!

I love these early animations. I noticed the animators worked on synchronizing the music and sounds with the animation. This was such a new medium at the time and animators were often in unknown territories of drawing, art, and music. It's so cool to see how this developed into what became Disney animation. Thank you SMK for taking us back to another great day in Disney history!! - MyPark
943.6 #91 7:09AM
From what i read, it marks a turning point in animation style. Beforehand, characters would start & stop almost mechanically. Norm Ferguson (one of the animators) developed a style where the characters never completely stopped, but when one part would stop another part would start moving, making the whole movement much more fluid. Disney liked the effect so much he made all the other animators study Ferguson's style. - Duchess_SMK 3243.6 #11 7:53AM

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has its official grand
opening at DCA. While similar in concept & theme to
the original attraction in Florida, this version has been redesigned in order to conserve space & money.
The attraction features three elevator shafts. Each shaft, in theory, is its own separate ride w/ its own separate operating More...

I'm very sorry MyPark and pikarich, I certainly didn't mean what I said to sound like I was trying to force anyone, it was only to show support if you wanted to ride. - piratelife4me 326.4 #490 7:35PM
Did you know that the actual Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Anaheim? Also, because of its height, it would have required a light on top for the pilots flying over if the height went over 200 feet. So, Disney made it 199 feet tall, thus not requiring a red light and to keep the tower in "show". - BaseballMickey_CM
