MAIN STREET PARADES, 1950’s–1970’s |

CoxPilot & Parades: Another "animal" I came in close contact with was Zorro's black stallion, Diablo. I come from a horse background and we owned a horse ranch in Texas for quite awhile. Zorro’s stallion was a real monster and a true stallion (no gelding there) and very difficult to control. They had it in a parade (maybe around '61 or '62?) and four guys had to control the horse with lead lines from all four corners with a special bit, while Guy Williams road down Main street. I was sure he was going to end up on the cobble stones. He was a good rider. |

AMERICA ON PARADE |

DISNEY PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN LEGENDS, MARCH 18, 2007 |
| The following photos were submitted to Daveland by Ted Topping, who had the fortune of being at Disneyland on March 18, 2007 for the 40th Anniversary of POTC. He and his partner had a prime spot for the afternoon performance of Parade of Dreams. The Grand Marshalls were Alice Davis, X. Atencio (note the mis-spelling on the car sign), Harriet Burns, Blaine Gibson, and Bob Gurr. This particular photo is special to Ted; X. Atencio saw that he was attempting to photograph the group, and he started to wave. Ted rushed his first shot, so X. Atencio held the pose until Ted could properly get set up. Definitely a legendary man in more ways than one. Thanks Ted for sharing these fantastic images! |
