No problem Sparten, searching through Disney facts on Google is never a chore :D And I love finding photos from way back when. I love seeing how people used to get very dressed up to go visit Disney, maybe it was just in the 50's people got dressed up to go anywhere?!

I think that might be it but I think when Disney First opened not alot of people knew what to think of it so they dressed for the occasion. but who knows? :)

I'm guessing it was a bit of both. If you look at photos from the 50's, people dressed up a lot. Heck, even in the mid to late 70's all of our family photos show our family all spiffied up!

well....I kind of wondered that too, but laying down in the middle of the Main Street would make for a more interesting photo! ;) :lol:

...possibly true, but do you really want to take a chance that someone is going to rush over and try to give you CPR? :shock: :lol: :wink:

...or maybe not. It could be a woman. After all, CPR-providers can be either gender...

Agreed. Does anyone know why they never put Alice in Wonderland ride into WDW's Fantasyland?

Because the ride, while unique in design, suffers greatly in the outdoor sections?

Come to think of it, does any fantasy land style dark ride that uses individual cars (outside of peter pan since that is a different configuration) have hills and slopes? Does the peoplemover even have any?

I wonder if it was one of those "We tried it at DLR and it was such a bad idea that we won't do it again" scenarios.
