- This film cries out for the Disney movie music like "When You Wish Upon A Star"; "It's A Small World" and you name it, but because of copyright, it can't be used.
So instead I've come up with my own original music score.
Filmed in 1974 in an 8mm Cinemascope format called Kowascope, this restored film shows how Disneyland looked then. Half of the rides where not operating as their was an energy crisis in the USA then.
Disneyland was so clean and fresh that it looked like it had only opened that week and not nearly 20 years before.
There is no narration or name subtitles as it is pretty self explanatory with the recognizable places.
So enjoy this look back in time to this timeless world.

I miss classic Disneyland
What The Happiest Place on Earth looked like 50 years ago. I was born in 1974 as I will be celebrating my 50th Birthday at Walt Disney World in Florida this May.
Frank, that's really good...I'd go every week if I lived near by, but sadly I don't...but I grew up on the show "Disneyland"; the original Mickey Mouse Club, always looked for the latest Disney movie and it was wonderful....I don't think kids have that anymore in this idiotic "woke" world....Happy Birthday for May and enjoy yourself, Cheers Alan
Thanx for the memories. My mom took us to Disneyland in November of 1974 on a whirlwind trip from Boise Idaho to San Diego CA In one week she hauled myself and my little brother and a cousin, I was 12 , my brother 11, and cuzzy 15 , she did all driving. We saw the redwood trees, we crossed the golden gate, went to fisherman’s wharf, crookedest street , went to an animal park called Africa USA or something like that, went to the Winchester mansion, universal studios was a lot different than, made it to knotts berry farm, sea world and Shamu, Disneyland was toward the end and my mother musta been exhausted. I only remember pirate’s, country bear jamboree, America sings , people mover , and the skyway to tomorrow land going through the Matterhorn. We finished the night with the Main Street Electrical parade.
Thanks, Daniel...I basically saw the same things, it's such a pity thatI put the film through twice!!! But easily happened in this days. I was 24 and trying to film as best I could...I certainly wish I had today's digital technology then....film was such a pain!!! Cheers Alan
This is a treasure. Really excellent footage, and I love the format. Thanks for posting!
Thank you...it's a pity I doubled exposed some of it and I wish I had Disney music to it. Living in Australia, haven't been back since. But interestingly I remember thinking how clean the place was and it looked brand new even in 1974!! Cheers Alan
I met this girl from Knights Ferry California at Disneyland Anaheim CA on June 8 1974. Loved her so.
Cute story...hope you saw her again..
Unfortunately for me, she died in a car accident in 1989 she was 27 RIP Pam.
That IS a bit better than 40 years!!!! In Australia I faithfully grew up two programs, the original "Disneyland" and the very original "Mickey Mouse Club"!!! Ah, things were so innocent back then... yet I still retain the memories of a real childhood where swearing was non-existent and so were video games!! But each week you could enter the worlds of Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland and Frontierland!!
Excellent footage!!! I just found an old 8 mm movie my Dad took of me when I was 3 at Disneyland back in 1958! He disappeared shortly after that (parents got divorced) and that was the last time I saw him, until my daughter accidentally found him through ancestry. I was able to reconnect with him a year ago, and sadly he just passed away. My new sibling that I didn't know I had found some old movies, and in there was a little gem labeled Disneyland May 15, 1958. Sure enough... it's of my mom, brother, sister and me! WOW! It even shows that first train he built that was only there for 1 year before it was replaced with the Monorail. YOUR video shows it as I remember it. Great footage! Thanks for the memories!
Only just found your comment. That's good. Hope you are able to put up on CZcams.
cool footage. I was there sometime in 1974...so who knows...maybe I am in this video. I went to disney world many years later and it was not the same as what is in this footage.
Thank you...it's a pity I double exposed some of the film. I have never been back since living in Australia, but I know what you mean with fond memories. Cheers Alan
I wasn't born yet but mom was 4 in 1974 but her Disney Addiction started in 1972. As she says.
My "addiction" for all things Disney started about 1957 when we got our first black and white tv. I was 6 and grew up on the original Micky Mouse Club and Disneyland....long before home computers... that b&w tv was my computer in it's day!!!! Glad you enjoyed my movie!! I'll look into doing a HD version because of improved technology! Cheers, Alan
Alan Bond Well we are a Disney family. I LOVE Disney too.Thank you for posting.
This is great.
Thanks, Tiffany, I think things may have changed, well, maybe a little bit since then!!
excellent footage of old fantasyland. i miss having tuna sandwiches on that boat!
Its a small world was the beginning of the end of Walt's Disneyland
I don't know why that would be. But the real end was when Walt died. I remember seeing a headline as I rushed to catch a train home from my first job as a teen. It was at the entry of St James Station in Sydney. The headline at the news stand read, "SAD XMAS FOR KIDS! WALT DISNEY DEAD!" I was 16.......
I was ten and we would go on general telephone day. The company rented the park for family and friends. No lines. Even this video, the crowd is pleasant. Not like today. A literal zoo.
Just a bit. I haven't been for ten years!
did you go there in 1974, and that was the year that terrible accident happen at innovations/America Sings.
Debbie Stone died
What kind of video is this? Why is this in enhanced widescreen? It should be left in 4:3. Why is there no audio?
I filmed this in Standard 8mm Kodachrome using a Cinemascope lens attached to my Bolex Zoom camera. No audio because it didn't record sound, hence the music instead.
matterhorn looks faster!
Hi there, Lindsay.... when I was there a lot of the rides were closed down but went to all the displays with moving figure, I was with an Australian tour group was probably about the only one (and one of the youngest) who was looking forward to Disneyland. The majority middle age folk weren't. In the end, you couldn't get them out of the place! We only left because one apologetic middle age couple had made dinner arrangements in L.A. I wish I had the technology then that I had now!
