Inside,
you could sign one of the guestbooks they had for each state. You may
notice some differences in the dress code of these guests and those
found in the Park today (although the haircuts are back in fashion).
We're guessing that these people are not Annual Passholders;
they don't seem to take a visit to Disneyland as a casual occurance.
Good for them!

It opened August 22, 1956, and operated until 1985, when it became Card Corner for nine years, but returning to the name Carefree Corner in 1988 until 1994, when the Main Street Photo Supply Co. opened on November 19th. North American Companies (later known as INA) sponsored The Carefree Corner from 1956 to 1974.* |

A Tip of Sorcerer Mickey's hat to Mike at Disneyland History, WaltsMagicKingdom.com
writes: "The second edition of the book [Dave Smith's Disney
A to Z] on page 90, lists Carefree Corner becoming Card Corner in
1985, but returning to the name Carefree Corner in 1988 until 1994,
when the Main Street Photo Supply opened on November19th...Thanks for
your visit to Walt's Magic Kingdom. Mike, Disneyland History, http://WaltsMagicKingdom.com

This allows us to correct our erroneous claim that the Carefree Corner closed in 1985; it only morphed into Card Corner until 1994. Thanks Mike! (Oops, thanks, Mike.) That's what I get for buying first editions! |
