One-Twenty at Disneyland

Posted on by

During our visit to Disneyland, we didn’t just take pictures with our phones and digital cameras, but with our vintage Kodak DualFlex II, which dates to 1950-1954, using 120 film.  The camera attracted much attention, people said they loved it, asked if it worked, and said it was cooler than the Holgas so many hipsters carry with them these days.  We took both black and white and color film with us and here are the results!

Please note that I have made no color alterations, etc. to these photos – they are exactly how they came out of the camera.  I was really surprised with the wonderful tones of the color film and I love the almost dream-like imagery this camera produces due to the quality of the lens.

Well, that’s it for the Disneyland entries for now! I hope you enjoyed!

I Couldn’t Resist…

…wearing my Disneyland skirt another day.  Since my Disneyland skirt received such a wonderful reception the first day wearing it, I had to wear it again on our last day in the park.  While waiting for the park to open I had several older cast members come up to me asking what the story was behind it and we chit-chatted for a long while.  They especially appreciated the fact that I had the Monsanto House of the Future on the skirt, an attraction that disappeared in 1967.

Since Disneyland had their Mardi Gras celebration going on, several characters, including Mickey, Minnie, Chip and Dale were all in Mardi Gras outfits! So of course I had to get my pictures taken with them!  Chip and Dale really flipped over my skirt, it was quite delightful!

Later in the day I changed into my Enchanted Tiki Room pantsuit.  I had several people, mainly cast members, come up to me to comment on the outfit, many had never seen anything like it before!

I’m always sad leaving Disneyland, but I know we’ll come back again real soon.  Maybe even as soon as November.  Meanwhile, I came up with several more Disney themed circle skirt ideas, and I can’t wait to get started on them! So many sewing projects!  Once again, stay tuned for even more Disneyland photos, since we are picking up our film from our dual lens camera tomorrow!!
