I was seven years old so it seemed pretty real to me at the time. I loved it!!!

I was just at what's left of it today which, really, is not much. 1 building is left standing, and I don't know much about SV but my dad used to come here and he vaguely remembers it being something like a petting zoo. (There were animal pens and hay on the ground) It was mostly vacant, besides one room filled with some of the old SV booklets. Besides that, there was one mushroom close to where the entrance was and some concrete tables close to where Mrs. Claus' kitchen was. That's about all now

I remember seeing the remnants of this village on my way down to Disneyland in 1980.

Scary. This reminds me of the Zapruder film.

OMG how I wish this was still there. I grew up in SV and ended up working in the biz park that replaced it. How sad is that.
