Found this in a collection of stereo slides when we were cleaning out my in-laws' house.  This is my father-in-law, who came back from WWII and either opened or worked at a photo store in Holyoke MA for a few years, before he started working as a plant repairman for some the manufacturing companies in the Pioneer Valley.  This was probably taken in the early 50s and yes, it's Kodachrome.
He had a lifelong interest in photography and we are lucky to have many pictures of my wife's family. I have the stereo camera which was probably used to take this.  It's a Revere Stereo 33, and it suffers from a poorly designed film advance mechanism.  I did have it repaired once, and I managed to take a couple of rolls of stereo slides of my family, before the film advance failed again.
I'm not actually sure if this is a Speed Graphic, but it's a Graphic of some kind.  All we found when we emptied the house was the flash and some film holders.  The camera must have been sold. View full size.

From a collection of found slides. Apparently this family took a trip to Japan sometime in the 50s.  There are two shots of this lovely lady; one is a standard red-border Kodachrome mount, but this one was remounted in a metal and glass Leica mount that didn't keep it from getting covered in dirt. The marks to the right of her head are either marks on the wall or dirt on the film; I decided to leave it. View full size.

This was taken in an orange grove so it's likely in Southern California where I found this Kodachrome slide in a thrift store. Now instead of actual citrus groves, we have shopping centers named after citrus groves. The slide is captioned "Uncle Albert Thanksgiving 1948." View full size.

Or 9:20, or maybe 7:15...
Another Kodachrome view of Santa's Village near Running Springs California. I'm estimating it's around 1958 based on vehicles seen in other slides from this set.
I should note that this view of SV is from a completely different set of slides than the one I posted previously; it was a popular local attraction in the 1950's. View full size.

From a large batch of found slides comes this Kodachrome slide of The Quaker Oats entry in the 1961 Rose Parade. The slide has a date stamp of Sept 61, since the parade is held in January I am presuming this was taken in January of 61 but the film wasn't developed until September. There are quite a few more images of this parade still to scan. View full size.

Three things that no longer exist: 1. Captain Hook's Pirate Ship, from which I took this shot 47 years ago this month; 2. Skyway to Tomorrowland; 3. Kodachrome. View full size.
No More Captain Hook's I can still taste the wonderful albacore tuna sandwiches we used to enjoy on this pirate ship and have tried to make mine at home just the same all these years, real close but not quite as perfect as theirs. I think I'll go make one right now. Thanks tterrace-
I was there that year.I lived in Laguna Beach from 1955 to 1957. Our entire sixth grade class (two full school buses) went there on a field trip and spent the entire day. I will never forget it. There we so many amazing things to see and do! I know the teachers loved it as much as we did.
Just my luckWe drove 1800 miles (2800km) from Canadaland in the early '60s and found Frontierland and another area still being built, a little disappointed but we went over to see the construction and met Walt Disney, he gave us a small tour of the construction site, he wanted to try our Canadian cigarettes, he also gave us a few free passes, must try and get back if it's finished.
[Frontierland had a major renovation in 1960 that included the construction of Cascade Peak and the Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland, so perhaps that's what was going on during your visit. - tterrace]
The Disney I rememberIn 1968, when I was 12, I visited Disneyland with my parents. After a cross country drive in a brand new Mercury Marquis, the first car we ever had with air conditioning and with none of the things that happened in the National Lampoon vacation movie with the exception of a stop in a really bad part of St. Louis. This picture is exactly how I remember Disney. A curious mix of wonder with a bit of hokey thrown in for good measure. The Skyway to Tomorrowland was awesome.  For a kid from Michigan it was the best summer vacation EVER! Many years later I took my own family to Disney World. It was great and all, but the hokey had been replaced with Corporate slick and just a little less wonder. 
Wind in the WillowsTo the right, in the photo, you can see the backside of the old "Mr. Toads Wild Ride." It was always a favorite, especially, at the end, when you drove your motorcar into the depths of Hell, complete with dancing demons and hot steam.
