Disney in Pictures: Then and Now

[raemoon]

Hello,
a picture popped up on Twitter today and it gave me an idea
I decided to start a thread of old photos of Walt Disney or old/new photos of Disneyland. I just thought it might be interesting to see how it has changed and as we're all Disney fans here, I thought it might be sort of educational for us too!
Anyway, if you come across any pictures of Disneyland or Walt himself, be sure to post them here and of course if you have any pictures you, yours friends or family took in Disneyland it might be fun to share these too.
I hope this is of interest to others as well as me!

"Before Disneyland opens, Walt Disney takes an early-morning stroll through Sleeping Beauty Castle."

i loved seeing all the old disney stuff in "saving mr. banks", such as how the plush toys/dolls and costumed characters looked in the 60's

This is not a photo of Walt Disney. This is a photo taken of his partner in animation of Mickey Mouse at that time, Ub Iwerks.
