It's A Small World was one of my favorite Disneyland rides. If it was hot outside it was cool inside. When I graduated from high school in Long Beach in 1966 Disneyland was a great and relatively inexpensive date night back then. Grad Night was filled with high school graduates and dates for a few dollars and my date Jill and I were there. By 1969 I was in the Air Force flying over Laos and the Ho Chi Minh Trail. I see two Marines walking through the scene and wonder if they are from Camp Pendleton on liberty with Vietnam in their futures. My 6th grade teacher, Mr Kim (a WW2 Marine), was one of the engineers on the Disney train and in 1995 I introduced him to my 5 year old daughter at the Small World train stop. He invited us into the cab of his diminutive locomotive and we rode around the park in style. I've been watching the Ken Burns documentary on Vietnam and Disneyland in 1969 was obviously in a different world.
