I've only been to Disneyland twice, once when I was child in the 70's, and once in 1990 at the height of my Disney mania. At the time, Disney was only starting the beginnings of what would be called the "Disney Renaissance" which started with the surprise success of "The Little Mermaid" in 1989. Thus a trip to the "happiest Place On Earth" was, though still crowded, more like a regular amusement park before becoming the global behemoth we know nowadays.
Didn't really realize how much it had changed til I came across a photo I took on my 1990 visit of the (then) iconic Disneyland sign on Harbor Boulevard(with banners celebrating its 35th anniversary hanging off the light posts!), and then wanted to see what it looked like today...
The Disneyland Resort sign entrance about a half a block down the street. Is this meant to replace the Disneyland signage from before? Everything so unrecognizable now....
As eclectic alt group They Might Be Giants once sang, "Time is marching on, and time...is still marching on!" Really nostalgic for those childhood days....
