Going to Disneyland with Elvis headcannons
A/n: First Elvis fic! I’ve had this idea for a couple days now and finally decided to write it! Also just a disclaimer even though I am a huge Disney nerd especially for the parks I may get some information inaccurate because I was obviously not around in the 60s to go to Disneyland during that time. I have been an avid Disneyland guest for my whole life basically so I do know a lot about how the park is run and things like that.
Pairings: Late 60s!Elvis x Fem!Reader
Warnings: too much explanation about vintage Disneyland sorry
Okay so the day would start out where the two of you would get there bright and early for rope drop (when the park opens and they drop the rope that blocks off the rides)
You wanted to make sure you could get on the E ticket rides (Back then Disney had tickets for rides and you’d buy a little ticket book and there were different tickets: A, B, C, D, and E. E ticket rides were the popular more thrilling rides like Matterhorn bobsleds) before the lines got too long
Elvis always had a blast at Disneyland with you being able to let out his inner child
After a couple rides you’d get breakfast on Main Street and talked about your plans for the day after eating. You’d both stare at sleeping beauty castle in awe and a cast member (what the employees are called) would offer to take your picture in front of it which of course you’d say yes
Elvis obviously being extremely famous has people come up to him and ask for autographs and such and he’d politely decline, saying he was here to have a good time with his girl
Cinderella definitely had a thing for him when the two of you went to get your picture with her, she was paying much more attention to Elvis than you. She was trying to hold in the fangirling and not break character
Elvis thought it was funny that you were a tiny bit upset about it until non other than Prince Phillip seemed so enamored by you and he felt how you were feeling previously. The two of you just laughed it off together though
You went on the smaller (but still fun) rides like the carousel, teacups, Snow White’s Scary Adventures, Pinocchio, and Mr. Toads Wild Ride
Elvis loves the Mickey ice cream bars and you love the cotton candy
You had a lot of fun waving to the mermaids that sat on the rocks above the submarine voyage ride
Elvis didn’t like that other men thought it was okay to whistle and be disrespectful to the mermaids but he didn’t say anything to them just muttered to you, “The lack of respect these men have is disgusting.” Which made you giggle a bit and agree
Midday you’d watch the parade and then go into the Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln attraction to watch the amazing Abraham Lincoln animatronic (it’s actually really amazing one of the best animatronics in the park)
You’d ride on the pack mules on the trail through natures wonderland attraction which was super fun
And even go on the canoes which Elvis helped the whole boat with how good he was at rowing
The day would end at night, standing in front of the castle with your head resting on his shoulder as you watched the fireworks.
And of course you’d fall asleep on the car ride home

Rare unseen candids of young Elvis (found in a Facebook group)
Note the black lace shirt he’s wearing in the candids above is the same shirt he wore in the photos below
These three pictures below were taken July 15th, 1955 at the Joy Drive-In Theater (the last two photos were taken at the theater manager’s house on the same night)
