Came across these 2 pictures on yesterland. The top is the the construction of the first California Adventure and the bottom is a of the People Mover and whaat we know today as Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I didnt even recognise the bottom picture at first. Disneyland has changed so much, but would love to travel back in time to opening day and seeing how much the park has changed! :) Enjoy the pictures! ❤

It is truly a shame to what the plans for the new Tomorowland was going to be and what it turned out to be. I remember being in two meetings for our dept where they had showed us years before what the new land would be and then the new land was going to be...it was shocking how bad it was at the time and everyone knew it was going to fail and be a bad idea...we had the same meetings about DCA about the orginal concepts and the final products...They should have just left tomorrowland alone and not skimped on the Eisner and Paul Preseeler Budgets - Dave  8638.5 #2 11:27PM
Astro Blasters was Circle Vision, Star Tours was Adventure Thru Inner Space, Pizza Port was Mission To Mars, and Innoventions was America Sings. My family always rode the Peoplemover, Infact it was my grandmothers favorite ride. - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 10:42PM
I miss the people mover. I hope they bring it back. - VanDisney  342.0 #426 12:15AM
Ah the peoplemover. I also liked the rockets at their original location. Ain't nothing like fearing for your life from the huge fall while going round and round. - icedevil31  255.4 #953 10:34PM
Yes. They were really high up. - Minnique  451.8 #272 10:36PM
People Mover good memories! - Willierose  1187.6 #68 2:49AM

the peoplemover!!! - DonaldMissingPants  296.2 #631 10:31PM
I fixed it:) I was looking at a picture of the skyway before I posted these. Got a little mixed up, that's all :) - PrincessMacy  503.0 #235 10:39PM
haha no i was just excited to see the peoplemover.. i didn't even see your error :) - DonaldMissingPants  296.2 #631 10:44PM
Ohhhh, lol! I thank you anyways though! If you hadn't have said anything, I wouldn't have noticed! :D - PrincessMacy  503.0 #235 10:45PM
If I could push the "like" button 20 times I would. Thank you for posting this. It totally made me smile!! - ohhhtoodles  365.2 #381 10:32PM
The bottom is the Peoplemover. The rockets were over by Space Mtn. That's the Tomorrowland I remember as a kid. - Minnique  451.8 #272 10:33PM
Me too! - MelodyMouse  941.9 #92 10:34PM
Looks so naked without the Astro Orbitor! Wow... - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 10:37PM
I really like the contrast of colors though. I also miss Adventures Thru Inner Space... - Alicewhoareyou  536.0 #209 10:38PM
I guess my parents didn't take me on that one very much because I don't really remember it. I do remember they always wanted to see Circle Vision. And I definitely remember the Peoplemover. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 10:46PM
Wait was Adventure Through Inner Space AT Circle Vision? OMG I feel old. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #108 10:46PM
No, it was where Star Tours is today. Circle Vision is now Astro Blasters. Mission to Mars was kind of silly though. :p - Alicewhoareyou  536.0 #209 10:53PM
Mission To Mars was totally kitch. Loved the animatronics in the Pre ride mission control show. Reminded me of Thunderbirds Are Go! - ScooterMike  1959.8 #35 11:30PM
True! I also miss America Sings and all that clapping, lol. - Alicewhoareyou  536.0 #209 11:59PM
all that grass. no huge rocks or cabbage growing - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint  1798.4 #42 10:48PM
Awesome pictures - drktink  26.8 #4538 10:50PM
And before it was America Sings, of course, the Innoventions building was the Carousel of Progress - MelodyMouse  941.9 #92 11:02PM
Everything in the bottom shot brings back such awesome feelings. So glad I got to experience that part of DL. Still just as magical✨ - My_HappyPlace  65.6 #3479 11:23PM
When I see the bottom picture it makes me sing... There's a great big beautiful tomorrow... - Boundin  425.0 #299 11:37PM
I cant wait to see that again at WDW NEXT MONTH...along with the peoplemover and Country Bears - Dave   8638.5 #2 11:44PM
Ugh. Can I be a stowaway!? I'm a great travel companion! 😄 - Sweet_Irish_Cream  2550.6 #22 11:48PM
