Every once in a while I have to go down to Disneyland and pretend that this is what life is all about. Oh, well, for a couple of days this IS what life is all about! These are some Disneyland attractions from the opening day of July 17th 1955 that are still around:
Snow White and Her Adventures in Fantasyland, only now it’s Snow White’s Scary Adventures: (Pinterest)

The Mad Tea Party in Fantasyland: That’s Vice President Richard Nixon in the center of the vintage picture. The Chicken-of-the-Sea Pirate Ship in the background is gone now.
Sleeping Beauty Castle: They decorated it really cool for the Christmas Season. That’s the Matterhorn in the background. (Laughing Place)

Most horticulturists study the landscapes of Disneyland at one time or another. I never did. It is too weird to me.
I was riding around the outside of Disneyland on the railroad that goes around the park, and when we got to Frontierland, they have a variety of different trees. My daughter asked if they’re real, there are so many of them! I said they are, but I’m not sure what type they all are. You would know, Tony.
I might be able to identify them if I could see them. Disneyland happens to be outfitted with some rather uncommon trees; and some of the common trees are pruned in such a manner that they are not easy to recognize.
