Disneyland's America on Parade- 1976 [Part 1]
We celebrate Independence Day with lots of photos of America on Parade (Disneyland version) from 1976. These wonderful photos were sent to us by Jeremiah Good.
We learn from a previous post:
America on Parade was a celebration of American history as the nation was celebrating its Bicentennial. The parade ran at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World from the summer of 1975 through the summer of 1976. Kelly Kellum shares these excellent photos taken in Liberty Square (fitting!) at Magic Kingdom. The parks were extra patriotic at this time. Red, white, and blue banners and other decorations were placed all over.
Notice one of the "big dolls"? This parade was the origin of the somewhat odd "EPCOT Pageant Dolls" or "People of the World" who walked (and blinked!) around World Showcase.
