a not so hidden mickey
One of the neatest things about the holiday season at Disneyland during the 1960s was the annual Christmas Star placed atop the lofty peak of the Matterhorn. Spanning 24 feet across and illuminated at night, the star could easily be seen for miles. This publicity image of Santa guiding the star into place appeared in newspapers in December 1963.

New Matterhorn snow!

Did you know they included glass beads to the paint to add little magic? :)
Matterhorn Bobsleds was the first roller coaster-style “thrill ride” at Disneyland. It was instantly popular and presented the longest wait time for Disneyland guests through most of the 1960s and early 1970s. Its popularity led to the creation of an entire “mountain range of thrill rides” beginning with Space Mountain in 1977, followed by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (1979) and Splash Mountain (1989).
Before construction of the Matterhorn began at Disneyland, the site was known as Holiday Hill and served to separate Fantasyland from Tomorrowland.
For those of you curious about whats happening to the Matterhorn
