"Thirty years ago and later looking through the windows of time"




It's Tokyo Disneyland 30th Anniversary and thirty Years ago Pat Burke was one of the WED Imagineers who were there, building TDL. Pat sent me today this great and never-seen-before picture above - a rare picture shot before TDL opening -  with this quote: "Thirty years ago and later looking through the windows of time. I took this black and white shot at Christmas time in 1982, at sunset, just months before TDL opening. We were all wondering if we would get the park finished in time as there was still much to do.  As we can see in the present day shot below, 30 years later, in 2013, TDR has blossomed and grown beautifully".
