Rivers of America / Haunted Mansion- 1970s
;)
;)
;)
Three exceptional shots of Rivers-related stuff.
First, Haunted Mansion sits on the shores with Riverboat and Keel Boat docks in the foreground.
Second, we have a bit of a mystery. The boat appears to be traveling counter-clockwise around the islands. Where exactly was this taken?? You can see the old Frontierland totem poles in the background. I believe this photo was developed backwards. If so, the photographer was standing in Frontierland looking toward the Tom Sawyer Island dock (hense the rafts) and toward what would be Big Thunder Mountain today. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Third, an awesome shot of Indian Village.

I believe you are right about #2. Looks reversed. Great pictures you have here.
When I was a little boy my family came to Disneyland, and I remember visiting the Indian village. I sat with wide eyes as those Native Americans shared their culture with all of us willing to sit in a circle in the sun and watch. They even got all of us kids to dance with them. I was an Indian for the rest of the day, tomahawk in hand. Great memories.
