@buzzie199 That is not a mirage you are seeing, I lived in southern california for 47 years and it was a very rare sight to see a fat kid or adult anywhere. My family had to travel atleast 4 miles to find a fast food place and mothers were home to cook because most families were together instead of the norm now divorced. Plus we rode our bikes everywhere instead of mommy driving us to and from destinations such as the case now. Soda was a luxury not a 5 a day drink.

@buzzie199 because our population, by and large, was a lot more physically active. We didn't over-eat then and food additives like high fructose corn syrup had not made it into every processed food item back then.

@michaelcabrera Could be two trips, but doesn't have to be. Although the Haunted Mansion opened in 1969, the exterior was built in 1962-1963. See for example Dave Smith's _Disney A to Z_.

I didn't see any fat overweight people. Just an observation.
This looks like it could've been between 1967-1971.

@michaelcabrera You think so? That's what I was leaning towards. I knew it had to be at least '67.

@JPProducing Is this a combination of footage from different trips? The reason I ask is because the Haunted Mansion is visible at (2:09) far off in the distance when Tom Sawyer's Island is shown. The Haunted Mansion opened in 1969. But there is footage near Matterhorn which shows the old Yacht Bar cocktail lounge (5:34) which closed by September 1966.

@michaelcabrera Ah, I see. I'm really not sure- I ordered this footage on eBay, giving me rights to it. Hm..... It must be, in that case. Good observation.

@JPProducing Nonetheless, this is really great high quality footage. Do you have more classic footage of disneyland? Thanks again for posting this. I wasn't born until 1975 but I am so fascinated with the park's history from the 50's through 70's.
