Wow! What a fascinating and frankly startling image! As one who had visited the Magic Kingdom by that time (my first visit was in '72, when I was four years-old), I am amazed I was there when it looked thus. Now, it bears little resemblance to Tomorrowland in my mind's eye; if you had told me this was Tokyo Disneyland I might be inclined to believe it, were it not for the Contemporary in the background. I would be interested in a follow-up report if you learn the purpose of the "circus tent."
And I just discovered you have been posting again of late -- I really hope this continues, as this has long been one of my favorite blogs.
Thanks, Scott! I too first visited WDW in 1972 and can completely relate to your observations. The Frontierland of 1972 represents a similar dynamic--that's why I absolutely love getting a hold of photos such as this one.
The irregular posting is unfortunately my reality and has been for quite some time. I appreciate the fact that you do check every now and then. Thanks again for the kind words.
Very cool old photo! I never realized how close the Contemporary is to Tomorrowland. Glad to see you're still posting to your blog.
Very cool picture. It's very rare to see pictures of MK's Tomorrowland before Space Mountian came to town.
