Capturing the magic of Disneyland in photos is something Paul Hiffmeyer has been doing for more than 10 years.
But on July 5, he will hang up his Mickey Mouse ears as chief photographer at the Disneyland Resort and retire at age 70.

It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears...

No alligators? (ducking)
“No alligators? (ducking)”
For people like you, there is a special place in a beach somewhere in Disney World.
Yeah, you are probably right.
With the not-so-great changes in Disney leadership over the past few decades, I’m wondering if the photographer’s last words, as he went through the door, were, “Glad I’m getting out of this Mickey Mouse outfit”.
Just asking.
What are you, Man or Mouse? Squeek up!
Pirates of Carribean, Used to be #1:
you’d see pirates chasing comely girls. That would sink in, and then juuuust before your boat left that location they’d sneak in some irony; you’d see a big, love-struck fat lady chasing a little, scared pirate.
NO MORE — sexist
Adventure Train, Used to be #2
You’d see natives threatening explorers, who were scared up a tree. Each time the natives raised their spears, the scared explorers would raise their butts up to avoid being pricked by the spear-poking African natives below.
That would sink in a bit, but then as the train went along you’d see a rhino who had treed some natives, and every time the rhino pocked up his horn, the scared natives would raise their butts to avoid being pricked.
NO MORE —raaaaacist.
Hey Dutch, we miss ya buddy.
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t get into it ever since Walt passed on.
Can’t believe they changed those attractions. I admit I haven’t been to Disneyland since the kids were little back in 1995.
The past ten years? So it’s pics of gay days and Mikey Cyrus shaking her money maker?
Thanks for the link.
History: Walt started with a train set, then purchased a large train, looked for a city to run it, learned that the leaders of Anaheim welcomed his train, then built the tracks and then decided to give riders something nice to look at while riding the train, such as a wild animals and a big mountain. The original train set is open on Sundays in Burbank.
Sign of the times: The members of the marching band and choir are volunteers. The director is my family friend and said that Disney has decreased the use of the band and choir slowly over the last twenty years. Sad.
Today: Disneyland is a cruel joke played on little kids and tourists. Both look forward to visiting the park for months. Then on the evening of their first day at the park they are tired, grumpy and pouty. All that glitter, fake characters and poor food leads to misery.
Counsel: You want to have a healthy day at Disneyland? Get a beer at ESPN zone, then go to a gift shop nearby and get a few expensive gifts for elderly family members who remember when Disneyland was wholesome and who don’t know much about the vice and corruption of Michael Eisner who was chief from 1984 to 2005. Disneyland has excellent glass items from the professionals in Chico, California.
