A photo that tells a story. We see dumbo in its original home behind the Cinderella Castle. Also in its original format. With only 10 elephants it would not see its numbers grow until 1993 when it went up to 16. Later in 2012 it would move to the newly created Storybook Circus where it would double in size with two ride systems giving us a total of 32 flying elephants. Another part of the story told in this photo is that of some extinct attractions. We see both the Skyway and the entrance to Mr. Toads Wild Ride. A little detective work can place this photo sometime after 1975 because we see Space Mountain in the background. Also, it would be taken before 1992 because we see the older style tent over the Mad Tea Party. I would guess it's from the late seventies or early eighties however due to the grain of the photo and the look of the guest on Dumbo.
