One of things that fascinates me about Disney is how, for so many, it has become interwoven with collective notions associated with American childhood and coming of age. Sometimes, I wish I could get in a time machine set for 2006, write
American Studies instead of
Sociology on the declare major do-hicky, and then write my thesis on this very topic.
For Southern Californians, one such pivotal event is Disneyland Grad Night. Started in 1961 and continuing to this day, the event provides a safe environment for high-school grads to spend graduation evening. I think it is a super groovy tradition, and I wanted to share some super groovy vintage posters from the event I came across! I think they are just so neat… they solicit from me a peculiar nostalgia for a time I never experienced. The one from '71 with the stylized line drawing of the park map really appeals to me for some reason.
