Yes, Born in Manhattan Beach,CA and now I live in Redondo Beach, which is about a 30-45 min drive down the 91/5 fwy to Anaheim(Disneyland). I got those when I was about 6-7 years old. I remember to this day standing at the Adventureland Bazaar and staring in amazement and awe at all the exotic "loot" that store had! I mean I can't clearly remember most of the stuff they had, but i remember they had the different necklaces, and real rubber snakes, not the plastic ones, Also I seem to recall they had bamboo cups and tiki salt/pepper shakers as well. Alot of the stuff they had for sale was not massed produced like it is today... so, many gifts from those days are pretty rare items indeed. I was talking to Josh(Shag) about the necklaces, and as I recall he has them all that lucky artist guy!(lol). I've tried looking for them on the net for documentation, but nothing so far. I think it would be really cool if TCrs came forward, and shared their info or knowledge on some of the really cool stuff that the Disneyland Bazaar used to carry. I think it would make for a very enlightening subject/discussion since their isn't anything about any vintage(55-early 70's) merchandise from Adventureland. Even vintage Pirates of the Caribbean merch from the "One of a kind" store as noted on a "Discontinued Disneyland" website A Blast to the Disneyland Past. That is truly a timewarp website about Disneyland. For the sensitive viewers, have tissue readily available!hahaha...but anyhow it really sucks to have lost some cool attractions/storefronts in the park....
