Tue 2/7/2012 8:29p | Wow! That's some of the best footage from that time period that I've ever seen. They did a really nice job of restoring it. Thanks for posting the link!

Tue 2/7/2012 8:40p | And just for convenience (off from the Youtube page) ... the link to where this little gem originated from....
http://www.disneyhistoryinstitute.com/
AND .... if you look to the right column ... go to the Tomorrowland link. And there's a couple rare black and white shots of Tomorrowland in construction - Feb 1967.

Tue 2/7/2012 9:58p | Very nice footage (albeit with too much red, as noted on the webpage).
But why, why, WHY did they crop it to widescreen?

Tue 2/7/2012 10:28p | That is some fantastic footage. Wow.
Check it out though. at the 2:19 point -- the Omnibus is rolling along -- next to a huge mound of dirt? :)
Where is that? I can't place it.
Also -- check out at around the 3:40 mark. Look at the guys working The Jungle Cruise -- they have bare feet!!! Wow.
Thanks for sharing. |

I'm guessing that's Holiday Hill (aka Lookout Mountain aka Snow Hill), a big pile of dirt left over from the digging of the castle moat. It now has the Matterhorn on it.

Wed 2/8/2012 5:34a | Wow. In all my years of learning about Sisneyland, I have NEVER heard of that Hill, or seen any pictures of it. That's totally cool!
Thanks for the link |

Yeah, I thought that at first too, but then went back and looked at it more closely, and they are wearing shoes. They're just "natural" color. I do admit to liking those costumes though, they have a very casual, tropical feel to them. |

Linked on that very page is THIS page, also with a good view of it. Also note the two horseless carriages, showing that during this period the HC's (like the Omnibus) carried visitors well into FaL, not just to the hub.
