40 Pounds of Trouble

This Disneyland gem has finally been released on DVD! I've been waiting so long.

40 Pounds of Trouble tells the story of a casino owner (Tony Curtis) who and a little Disneyland-obsessed five year old he gets left with. Might sound kinda weird, but this is a really fun movie!

It's one of two non Disney movies to be filmed in Disneyland (the other is That Thing You Do!).

They spend a large portion of the film in the park and it's really cool to get a glimpse of Disneyland from that time period. It's changed so much (but at the same time is no different).

I think I found it at a library randomly many years ago and am so excited that I can watch it again.

Also, my parents said we should all go to Disneyland this summer after graduation. Very exciting!

The old turnstiles and entrance.

The Matterhorn (in the movie, you can totally tell that there are no seat belts on this ride yet! Ahh!)

I remember riding in these gondola cups before they got taken out (apparently someone jumped...)

Autopia!

Anywho, it's a fun one! If anyone wants to have a vintage Disneyland party with me, just let me know.
