| Someday
the PeopleMover may take you on a shopping tour through stores in your community,
and this is how it might be. We're now inside The Character Shop. Across the way
is the entrance to the Flight to the Moon, departing for outer space every few
minutes. And just ahead is America Sings, Disneyland's tribute to two hundred
years of American music. Walt Disney often said, "Disneyland will never be completed," and to illustrate this, we'd like to show you a preview of future attractions now on the Disney drawing boards. |
The
next stop, or rather, the next sight on this transportation system that
never stops, is inside the Character Shop. It's the modern way to
window shop. | Below us, Tomorrowland's Character Shop. Someday the PeopleMover may be carrying you through stores and shopping malls. |
| Here's the spectacular Space Mountain, towering symbol of the Space Age and home of a thrilling race through the universe. Inside Space Mountain, Disneyland astronauts will rocket through showering meteors, racing comets, shooting stars, and the whirling galaxies of outer space. |

us is the entrance to the Flight to the Moon, departing for outer space every

soon to Tomorrowland, space travelers will explore our solar system's most mysterious
planet during the new Mission to Mars, opening this summer! |

surf out a lot of images, icons, gifs, photos and the like from all kinds of sources,
