Historic Photos: Disneyland Ticket Booth

Disneyland Ticket Booth (photographer unknown)

Check out those prices! Here is a ticket booth at Disneyland from the early 1960’s, when you could walk right up with no reservations and enjoy a day at Disneyland. For a family of four it would cost under $25.00 to enter the park with a Jumbo 15 Ticket Book for the attractions. How times have changed! You can see the Monorail tracks and the old parking lot in the background. 

Talking Disney Podcast Movie Night: 'The Strongest Man in the World'

Welcome to the Talking Disney Podcast Movie Night! We love movies here at the Talking Disney Podcast, we watched and talked about each of the Disney animated feature films on Podcast Episodes #51 (The One That Started It All) through #124 (Strange World Is The End Of Our Journey.) We are bringing some of that movie watching magic to the website. We will still talk about some movies in the podcast in the near future as well. Our goal is to watch one movie a week, share some details and publish our thoughts on Fridays (or Saturdays.) Some weeks we may have comments from all three hosts, sometimes two and sometimes just one. 

The movies will be picked at random and for now to make it easier on us, we will choose movies that are currently on Disney+. 

So without further ado, here is our next Talking Disney Podcast Movie Night movie - ‘The Strongest Man in the World.’

Spoiler Warning - There may be spoilers ahead so if you haven’t seen the film check it out first. If you have seen it or don’t care about spoilers then by all means click “Read more >>” below.

Historic Photos: Aerial View of Disneyland

Aerial View of Disneyland (photographer unknown)

Disneyland from the sky! This photo was likely taken in the early 1960s, although the exact date is unknown. Although if I had to narrow it down using two attractions I’d say it is between August 8, 1961 (opening of Flying Saucers which can be seen on the viewers right) and November 18, 1962 (opening of the Swiss Family Treehouse which is not present in the photo.) If you look carefully you can see the Los Angeles Airway helicopter likely heading towards the heliport near the Disneyland Hotel to drop off guests that landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
