It's funny, you would think that after watching this you would admire what Disneyland looked like back in 1957! I can't get over the way everyone is dressed.

Check out our site (Disney History Institute), we've now posted up a response essay that helps explain why guests once dressed so formally to visit the park. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, the people were extremely stylish... mostly because they CARED what everyone else thought of them. They were more respectful of the people around them. And they were more polite. That said, let's not forget the subject at hand! Even with the lesser technology of 1957, doesn't it still look as awesome to visit as today?! Whomever took that film did a wonderful job of capturing the magic in a place that only gets more magical with time. Kudos to everyone involved!

The color is fantastic on this. I bet it was shot on Kodachrome 25. That may be why everything dropped out at the end in the night footage.

I rather liked Golden Slumbers in the background played classically.

It is rounding the corner where the Matterhorn now stands. At the time it was called Holiday Hill for lack of a better name or purpose.
