Disneyland 1976 

This is brilliant. It's like a dream for us who were there in 1976. Very good work.

1976 was the first year I went to Disneyland, I was around 4. Thanks for this, now I have some idea what he park was like back then!

I was there in 1976 with my family, also only 4 years old, and I remember some of the scenes from this film as well. I remember that I wanted to see the Abraham Lincoln speech again and again.

I was there in December of 76 and was 4 years old. All I remember is "Its a small world" and dancing on Main Street. We drove all night in a Vega to get there from the Sacramento area.

This is great. 1976. The park was still so young, it probably still had that new theme park smell.

I think the quality is actually very good for the time. Thanks for posting.

This is awesome... thanks for posting it. Disneyland was fantastic in 1976. Probably the peak of the park's life. It's been a long steady decline since the 1970s. It was great to see the Mine Train thru Nature's Wonderland again. My favorite ride of all time.

thank you for sharing your film I had good memories of Disneyland as a kid.

Actually the music couldn't have been more perfect for what is shown. The Nutcracker Suite is from the 1940 Disney film "Fantasia", a movie which changed how all movies would be made with the introduction of stereophonic surround sound, early experimentation on wide screen, and the use of the optical printer to combine separately filmed elements to create stunning visual effects. In 1976 Disneyland was in a period of great change. Space Mountain was still one year away from opening. The Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland would close January 2, 1977 to make way for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Matterhorn Bobsleds was soon to undergo it's early 1977 overhaul to close up some of the rock work and introduce the Yeti. The Main Street Electrical Parade was the hit nighttime entertainment. Pure magic.

WOW. Just WOW. This is the very year I made my one and only trip to Disneyland with my parents. I still have "The Haunted Mansion" book with the record from that trip-I have it right here, although the record was lost long ago. So few memories, I was only 4. Thank you for posting this!!!

Magical

This is definitely one of the best home movies of Disneyland on RU-vid. Thanks for posting!

I was there for grad night 1976.

I LOVE the girl's hat that appears exactly at 3:05

Thanks for this video! That's a lot of super 8 footage! I miss the old Disneyland. My first trip was in 79'' Still had people movers,Adv through inner space. ect. Now when you walk through tommorowland. Pretty stripped bare.

I miss those sky buckets :(

My wife and I went to Disneyland in 1976 on our honeymoon. We just celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. Hard to believe.

Thanks. I was just there last week for my first visit. (Age 59!) The music is an odd choice, but it strangely works. Funny, we think of the 70's as a very casual, hippie era, but people still dressed up much more than they do today.

thanks I always wondered what it looked like the year I was born

Same with the various Six Flags parks - they were awesome and weird in the 70's then just got drab, corporate and PC by the early 90's.

I still Space Mountain. Was it still under construction, because it didn't open until May 1977.

@Wurlitzer157 As said in the info, SILENT Super-8... ;-)

Any sound?

Must have been...

Pooh for president....he'd probably be better then Trump! Awesome footage. wish it included the original sound
