WOW! What amazing photos, these are really interesting to see, and I love the ones from the parade - being somewhat of a parade fan! It is also interesting to see how it has all changed over the years aswell. Bring Roger Rabbit and the credit card tickets back to the park I say!!!

Hi all!

My fiance showed me this thread a little while ago, I just had to reply!

I first went to DLRP in 1992 - about a month after it opened! I have loads  of photos that my parents and I took, but can only find one on the computer! Disaster! I'll upload some more when I go home at the end of my university term in a week or so - for now here's the only one I could find!




I believe we went in late July/early August, I would have just turned 8, I remember it being boiling hot, and there being lots of teenagers barging around the queues pushing through and the cast members doing nothing to stop them  :roll:

It was absolutely packed the whole time we were there, we stayed in a hotel just outside Paris with a package deal - had a day in Disneyland and two in Paris.

There wasn't very much in the Disney Village, and I remember a very long walk to and from the car park - the moving walkways were broken!

Anywhat, as I say, I'll post some more as and when I find them! There'll also be some from 1996/7, 2000 and 2001 somewhere but I'll try not to get them muddled up!

I remember Disney Village being very sparse back in 1994. Although, actually, looking at the map in the brochure, it seems as if most of the stuff was there, so the memory definitely plays tricks.

Are the moving walkways still there? My first visit we stayed off site, and came in to the resort via the car park, and moving walkways. But the last couple of times I've stayed at Disney hotels, so have always walked down to Disneyland via Disney Village.

Yes the moving walkways are still there in the carpark to the resort hub.  It's really great seeing all these old photos.  Cool to see dlrp in a new view in old scanned photos as compared to today's usual digital photos.

cool! if im honest tho it looks the same :p

Well, I think the main differences are Space Mountain is still under construction in those photo's.

And the parade. There were changes to some of the floats. Ariel's float had a boat on it rather than the clamshell.

There was a different Snow White float, and various other floats which disappeared over the years like the Peter Pan, Jungle Book, Dumbo and Pinocchio floats.

Some of the floats were used differently, like the Sleeping Beauty float which had Philip fighting the dragon, and had Aurora underneath the dragon, in a different dress, which she never wore in the film!

They also used real horses in the parade!

Oh, and you can see the riverboats in operation around Thunder Mesa.

Having said that, I do prefer the detail in my scanned photo's. But I hope everyone enjoyed seeing my old photo's, and I thought it was a nice time to bring out these old photo's, as the park is celebrating it's 15th Anniversary.

It's always nice to see a thread greeted with a lot of enthusiasm from people, especially one which has had a lot of work put into it.
