This is waaaaay before I met DH Joe back in '80 or '81 .He had a lot less pounds and a lot more hair back then!!! :earboy2:

Here's me back in 1980, same spot as your husband. It looks like I'm holding my favorite, a pretzel, in my hand.

and here's my girls back in 2000

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Thorgersen/girlsmanacles001.jpg

Here's me with Pooh..Not my favorite character, At All, but back then it was a rareity to see characters at all!
I also appreciate the lines that are formed for visiting with characters now. As you can see from this photo, and many of the others in this thread, you had to almost fight to get a photo of yourself, alone, with a character.
Am I correct in saying that the characters did not make that many appearances back then? That's what I remember, and my husband remembers that as well...

DH trying to get a photo with Chip/Dale(forgive my ignorance, even after all these years!)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v358/Thorgersen/Eddie19802001.jpg

I agree, I love seeing all the old photos !
BTW, I remember seeing Pluto and the other characters with that Space Age-ie attire. I went back in 1983 & 1985.
I'm going up to my dad's house this weekend and I'll ask him to look through his boxes of phots.

Keep it up!

I LOVE your picture's from the 1976 parade....interesting characters in the parade. Was the turkey always in it or was that Thanksgiving time?




Thanks. It is very likely that it was during Thanksgiving because people is wearing warm clothing.

Aww...I miss Horizons

[disgram]

Our favorite "lost" ride!!!! :sad2: :sad2:

[lovealldisney]

Can someone enlighten me on what Horizons was all about? :wave:

[IndyJammer]

Ok - I've finally managed to locate (free!) some of my old pictures from my parents' house!

Here's the original Captain Jack Sparrow! This was the ONLY time that we were growing up where my parents took a "cool" picture! I think it's around 1985 or so. Where the gift shop of PotC is now, there used to be a Photo area - Here's me (on the right) with my family - 22 years ago! (Love my mom's glasses - although I think they might be coming back in style!)

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6d932b3127cce8ab317453d9200000015100BcM2LNuzYsU

As for Horizons - It's what Mission:Space was before it was M:S! If you go to www dot wdwmagic dot com and do a search, you will find a lot of info! (Sorry, I cannot get it to post the site directly?!?)

[IndyJammer]

Check out this Dopey! Character Costumes sure have come a long way!

Horizons was a showcase of how the future was going to look like. It was fun and one of my favorites. A family ride

Here is a pic of the pavillion before Wonders of Life was built.

Next year when dgd is 2 1/2, we WILL be bringing the stroller. How the world has changed!!

Great pics. Love this thread!!!! :thumbsup2

[teentoddlermom]

Melanie, I can't believe that Frontierland Train Station!! I never remember that! Was it where the current parades end - to the left of Splash now?
Don Pancho, was Horizons where Mission Space is now?

The people in that picture are the reason why this ride was closed....theyre BORED!!!

::yes::

[Corryn]

My BIL's best friend works at Disney and he told us a while ago to listen at certain parts...This one part had an African-American guy astronaut and a white woman astronaut and if you listened very closely....... :smooth:
but by the time we got back down there, they closed it!
BTW, that was another ride in which I enjoyed a lil' nappy (even when I was younger!)

[IndyJammer]

Here's an oldie - It was grandfather from the '70s (That's when that "Squished Dopey" picture a few posts above is from) Notice the Bow-Tie - He wore one Every day of his life!

Don Pacho, was Horizons where Mission Space is now?




Yes. Same spot. I miss horizons. It was more fun than Mission Space

:)

[Disneygrl36]

I loved this mural of tons of Disney characters. It was in The Walt Disney Story in the area right before you went in the movie I think.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/Disneygrl36/1987-mural.jpg

[Disneygrl36]

I think you are right. I remember it being in an open area right about where Splash is now.

I bet that if they re-opened a dress up picture spot like this with the NEW CPT. Jack Sparrow (not to mention Will & Elizabeth Turner) that there would be a longer line for this that for POTC itself! I sure wouldnt mind taking picks with a Cpt Sparrow look alike ( Probably the closest I'll ever get to J. Depp in my whole life!) lol

I remember back in 1976, when DD was a year old and in a stroller, that the Characters used to "roam" freely with no handlers! Pluto came to DD and picked her out of the stroller and promptly got knocked over by over-zealous parents and kids wanting their picture taken!!!! Security came out of no-where and got dd and Pluto upright! Was a scary moment. Now, I don't mind standing in those lines to see the characters!!! :rotfl: pixiedust: pixiedust:

Love the MSEP pics! I had forgotten about Elliot blowing smoke!

Here's a Mickey from the 80s! (Probably 1985, but I'm not sure!) Is that a Captain EO outfit? Or is it just for Epcot?!?

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6d932b3127cce8abc9f33dc4700000016100BcM2LNuzYsU

[Disneygrl36]

I think that was just Mickey's spaceship outfit. :rotfl:

These 2 are from 1997.....I think the snoring man is gone at the Lego store & the other was around the Art of Animation at MGM & I thought it was really cute as Mickeys is afraid of a mouse.

Yeah, I've forgot about Captain EO and I think that was just in Epcot when they had that Michael Jackson 3D movie. All I remember it was loud.

[brer rabbit 28]

it is so funny to see how much the characters have changed over the years.
Don't you think Mickey looks great for his age!

[IndyJammer]

Here's a pic that I think Minnie would like to forget! Notice the Make-Up!!! She goes from my Mickey from a couple pics back.

The thing that I remember most about Captain EO was that it sent smoke into the crowd at one point & I just thought that was the best thing Ever! I've been tempted to purchase a Captain EO Video on the 'bay just for the memories!

[Epscot]

Several people have pointed out the changes in the characters' appearance over the years. The Big 5 seem to have remained pretty much unchanged. However, I did notice in a few of the pictures in this topic that Mickey's ears seem to be bigger than they are today. Here are a few examples that I picked out from previous pages:

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/uploads/1406/mick_min_big_ears.jpg http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/uploads/1406/mm_big_ears.jpg

Does anybody else notice this, or is it just me? I suppose it could just be the angle.

[penguingirlie]

These pictures are great. I am going to try and dig some up. I love looking at what has changed and what hasn't!

I was never really fond of the Mickey Wand on the Golfball at Epcot, but now seeing it without it - I dont mind the Wand at all :)

[teentoddlermom]

I love the new EPCOT sign on Spaceship Earth!! I think I'm in the minority, though. It's just too boring without it! I took a lot of really nice pix of it in 11/05, but I'm too stupid to figure out how to post!

By 1980, all my sisters were around and here we are visiting with White Rabbit. Notice the hat again!

My sole contribution to this thread, and it's not even WDW. This is in Disneyland 1978. I don't know where in the park:

I love this thread! :cool1:


Melanie I've never seen a picture of the tarin station in Frontierland!


montenj....Great shots!


Don Pacho...World of Motion....awww I loved that ride.The Early 80 first picture of Epcot...wow look how small all the trees were!

I love the couple pictures of the Pirate photo op....those are really cute. I wish they still had something like that.


I do think Mickey's ears use to be BIGGER.

I went through my pictures but have't gotten any scanned.But I do have one of Snoring Man at Legoland.

These are my boys Jonathan and Erich 2 years ago....they look so little to me now!

Parade in MK- looks like it was the 15th Anniversary Celebration


I don't know why this one made such an impression on me - I had been to WDW dozens of times before it & hundreds of times since it, but I still sing the song from that parade, "15 years, & we're having a party. 15 years, & there's a party going on. 15 years, ........." every single time we go into the parks (weekly or bi-weekly) & it still makes me happy! Thanks for these pictures. (I have a ton, also, but I'm glad I don't have to dig them out. ;))

[ampooh]

Have loved all these pics. I actually have one from our first trip to Disney in Aug 1972 at work to show frineds. Wish I could scan it.

the cars at MK was because they gave a car away each day for the 15th bday.

I loved the candy castle myself. That was DS#1's 1st trip to Disney.

Don't remember the train station.

Miss 20,000 Leages. Lines are not the way they used to be that is certain. So glad for fastpasses.

Miss the skyride, too.

Can anyone tell me what was where Mikey's Toontown was originally?

Keep th e pics coming

Can anyone tell me what was where Mikey's Toontown was originally?

I know it was called 'Mickey's Starland' & 'Mickey's Birthdayland' at different times, but I don't which one came first. I remember some type of huge ball-crawl thing, too, where the Barnstormer (roller coaster) is now.

[tolookaa5]

I think it used to be called Duckburg as well. Here is a photo of the Duckburg sign. I believe this is from 1990 but not too sure.

These are awesome!! All my really old pics are at my mom's house in albumns - I'll have to scan some.

Okay, am I the only dork looking for myself in these old pics?! :)

When someone mentioned a man in yellow socks and white shoes, I was a little afraid I might see my father. :rotfl:

My parents have a bunch of slides from our January 1972 trip. Next time I go home, I'll see if I can scan some.

ETA: He most likely would have been in shorts with BLACK socks and WHITE shoes, though! :lmao:

I think that it was Mickey's birthday land first. :)

How do you post a picture?

[sajetto]

I never got to go to WDW until the late 90's, but I am really loving these old photos. Its amazing how much styles and designs change!

[Michele]

Ok, got the old ones from 1978.
Here are some shots in the Polynesian rooms, my brother in one and sisters in another.

I think this video shows the original Figment ride:


Figment Ride (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0SpedPlk--w&search=epcot)

:thumbsup2


.

I soooooo miss the original figment ride. I was SOOO DISAPPOINTED, when I saw it this last Thanskgiving. Why does disney feel the need to mess wit hsuccess? The new imagination ride is just horrible.

Same goes for the TIKI room. They have totally ruined it.

Thanks for sharing the GOOD OLD DAYS!

My first trip was in 1987 (7 years old) and wouldn't you know...I had that same shirt as well! And hair just like yours too! :goodvibes I mean, really...we could probably put the pictures side by side and you wouldn't know the difference between the two of us!

Here is a picture from 1973 or 1974

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n134/njtwinmom/dispic1.jpg

Where is this taken? Do you remember? It looks so empty in the background! My parents love telling me about Disney when it first opened and how different it was...no crowds, etc. :)

[WDWguru]

Looks like Liberty Square to me, facing back toward HM and the group walking toward Frontierland. The building behind and to the right of them is the Hall of Presidents and to the immediate right would be Liberty Tree Tavern.

[ILVPOOH]

The picture was taken in Liberty Square. The park was so different back then. We were staying at the Contemporary. There was only the Contemporary or the Polynesian. My brother and I took the monorail to MK and rode the ride "If You Had Wings" over and over again. I think we rode about 12 times in a row. You didn't need a ticket for that ride. Other rides required different tickets.

[lovealldisney]

I remember those tickets! You ripped them out for which rides you wanted to go on! I think I maybe I even have the ones that we had left over somewhere. Does anyone know if the tickets were no expiration? Like they have now? I don't remember. But I want to say my parents had hung on to them because you could use them again then next time you went. :confused3

They didn't expire. I think my parents still have some of the "A" tickets left.

Poor quality as this is a digital recreation of my family's old pics from WDW circa 1973- my first trip to Walt Disney World! This is my brother and me at Ft. Wilderness. Anyone know what happened to that big tree slice? It wasn't there in 2004.

The first picture is from 1979, the second from our 2004 trip. It was truly magical to go to Disney World as an adult with not only my own kids, but with my siblings, their children and my parents. We had a great time recreating a few shots found in Mom & Dad's photo albums. (I'm on the right :) )

I'm upset looking at these because all of our old photos are in storage at the moment because we are in the process of moving. I hope I will be able to find them and get them all out in the next few months! I have tons of old Disney photo albums from my childhood and from my parents when they went there many times before I was born!

[ChefBilly]

These are great.

But you know what I notice is missing in all these old photos?

CELL PHONES!

Now every time I look at crowd pictures, half the people are on cell phones. (I'm guilty, too.) :rotfl:

[bnf2]

September 1979- notice out big buttons we're wearing... I believe they were holding our resort info or passes- something, but I do remember having to wear them. And what's up with carrying a "clutch" purse??? Ahhh... I was 13 and thought I was waaayyyyy cool! :rotfl:
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m68/bnford2/100_1152.jpg

[badblackpug]

I loved each and every one of these. My 1st trip was in 1982 I was 10 at the time, and soooo many of your 80's pics bring back memories. Pink terry cloth rompers - had one - wore it! Long briimed hat - ditto! 20,000 leagues under the sea! I loved it, but I have a vague recollection of barely fitting in it at 10, and I rode it with my 6'4" father! ...and I absolutely adored Figment! I think I rode that ride again and again. Great pics! Keep them coming!

[CoolDisneyCat]

These are just great! I think I will start taking a pic in the same place each trip to keep a record of how our family and friends change and grow,

If you have anymore, please post! These are really cool!

I love that orange bird and he use to be on all the OJ cups at the Florida Welcome Center! Ever since I was a kid I couldn't wait to hit the Florida stateline and get that free OJ with the cute bird on the cup. This year....there was no orange bird on the outside of the cup. :sad2: I wonder if they still use the orange bird at all. :confused3 I liked him!

[Stepharoonie!]

Man, it's like someone opened my mind right back to when I was a kid!

We visited WDW several times a year since we lived in Daytona Beach. I have TONS of fonds memories, and photos...but all of the photos are at my Mom's house now. I'll have to see if I can dig them up.

I did notice that there are hardly any "overweight kids" in these pictures....is it because we were actually forced to walk instead of using strollers??? No flames, just noticing...

[pickles]

I only got as far as page 10 so far, but wanted to post my observations..go back and look at those first 10 pages of pics and you will see a lot less "water buffalos" We ,Americans, have sure let our bodies fall apart. The next interesting thing is people are wearing clothes. Their bodies are in better shape, and they still have the decency not to wear clothes(or bikinis or halter tops) or other variety of clothes that let the good times roll out.
It often surprises me what we now feel ok about doing amongst other people..absolutely no respect for ourselves or others.


I also was very thrilled to see the skyway..I remember that from my only childhood trip and really wish they had it still.

[Stepharoonie!]

The two buildings for the Skyway are still there...I wonder what they'll end up doing with them... :confused3

You sure got that right!! Everytime we go we get to see 'beachwear' (inappropriately) passing(?) for clothing.

These pictures are terrific. One of these days I'll have to dig some out. I just had them out last month & buried the boxes in a closet & my neck doesn't feel like going back for them again. :rolleyes:

I may have to disagree with you. I think what men use to wear was way to revealing! Those short "hot pant" shorts...haha! :rotfl2: No one needs or want to see all that...haha!! :rotfl: I don't want to see that much of any man! I'm glad that has changed!! I can't imaging seeing men in those getting in and out of rides....haha!! Woah!! :rotfl2:

I started this thread last May and I'm amazed of the pictures that have been shared over the years. I see there are many pictures of the skyway. What year did they get rid of the skyway? I've noticed alot of parks that use to have skyway rides no longer have them. I think it's such a good relaxing ride. I'm wondering why Disney got rid of it.

I heard that a CM fell to their death. Even though it is tragic, I too miss it, and wish that they would put it back.

Glad to see this thread resurface! I hope to get a scanner soon so I can contribute!

LOVE the picks...keep them coming. Tomorrow I will dig out some, might even go to my mom's and swipe some of her's from when I was little.

I was so glad to see pic's of the skyway. My family doesn't (didn't) believe me it was ever there!

These pictures are great. I am sorry, but I do not care for that cake castle at all. I think that is the biggest eye-sore. :(

This from 1990--my sister & me on the giant bee on the Backlot Tour at MGM. They had the screen behind, did the filming & then played it back with the Honey I Shrunk the Kids footage. (like they do with Pearl Harbor now, but a lot drier :teeth: )

It was a magical moment for us to be chosen--& it was years before the YOAMD :cloud9: .

My little brother and me at Ft. Wilderness, March 1973. We asked several CMs at FW about this big sign on our 2004 trip (brother and sis both pulled their big 5th wheels down to stay at the Fort)- even showed pics, but no one knew anything about it. Anyone know when it was removed?

Here is one from 1982 of my brothers and I. I'm the one in the white bonnet. Gotta love those Dukes of Hazard hats my brothers have on! :thumbsup2 :lmao: My mother had fun dressing as alike. My brothers were often dressed alike and my sister and I were often dressed alike. This trend unfortunately continued for many years.

http://members.aol.com/Yzerbear19/YzerbearDisney.jpg

I'll have to find a way to scan the pictures i have from 1982 and 87. I know we have a bunch of the parade.

Bumping for more pictures. This thread is great. I just found it and have spent the last 1.5 hours looking at all the pictures. Thanks for sharing!!

This thread is hilarious. I first went to WDW in 1980 and some of these shots are bringing back so many memories.

Giving this a bump...any more old pictures out there??

[Our2Girls&Disney]

I am loving this thread!!!!

When my parents took us to WDW as a child it was either 1980 or 1981, there was only MK and 3 hotels. The Poly (where we stayed), the Contemporary, and what else??????? I wasn't the Floridian.

I even remember River Country that was there when we went. I remember seeing the construction for Epcot.

[SteamBoatWillysKin]

OMG...my DD was scared to death of this parade! I'll never forget it!

[Lil' Grumpy]

the pack rat's family gene is alive and well on this site......

i can't believe someone else has kept that "life magazine" all
these years...we saw one at the pop 04, but it wasn't in very
good shape...

isn't it interesting how some things stick to your memory? i think,
because it was broadcasted in the media..i can remember exactly
what i was doing on the day it opened...cutting grass...thinking,
those lucky dogs & closer but not close enough for us to go...


i saved the post cards from the 70's...one roll of film was more than
enough for our 80's & the 90's visits ..funny thing...in one, the riverboat
from disneyland was transferred onto the picture beside wdw's haunted
mansion...i have no idea the reason why.



and if the truth be told, we knew "disney world" was a memory we desired
for our children....however, i cannot tell what that meant....except i feel it
was related to the "wonderful world of disney".... i was always disappointed
with the shows instead of cartoons...while the first i ever saw at the movies,
was right before christmas..."pinocchio"..i thought the blue fairy was one
groovy chick...but the "donkey scene" ..gave me the :scared1: ! & monstro
seemed to have been after me...maybe it stuck because it was the same
christmas i received a banna bike.completed with a varoom motor...:cloud9:



of course..most here probably never heard of a varoom motors or the
orginal banna bikes? :hourglass ...there was a "time", when i toooo :hippie:

thought 30 was over the hill..now it's a youngster! geeks o' peeks! :eek:

[Marjol]

Some of these pictures are hilarious!

I love the 80's clothing :lmao:

[NotUrsula]

BTW, the "other hotel" that was open before Epcot opened was what is now Shades of Green. It was originally called the Disney Golf Resort (1973-1985), then called the Disney Inn (1986-1993). The military took it over in 1994.

The "vacation villas" over at what is now Saratoga Springs were also open at that time. These included the famously odd "treehouse villas". The villas were built in the mid-1970's.

[Flossbolna]

great pictures! unfortunately I won't be able to contribute any pictures any time soon. My first visit to WDW was 2004, so I guess I won't be able to post any of them before 2014 for them to pass on as "old"!

[Amy_Callaghan]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

[Suzann]

Bumping :D

[southernbohemian]

I LOVED this thread!!!!!! I'm so sad that all of our old vacation photos are at my parents' house in Louisiana and I can't go look through them right now. So many memories! And so many that I don't remember - you guys are like elephants - remembering songs from 10+ years ago?

I kind of like how the character greets used to be - I think it looks like all of the kids are playing with Mickey - but I can only imagine the nightmare it woud be like today.

Maybe my BF can get his pictures from his mom's house - the last (and only) time he went to WDW was right after Epcot opened. He had no idea there were 4 parks now!

Wow this thread really keeps getting better and better! The 10 year ticket stub and brochure is great!

[MyGoofy26]

I wish I had a scanner (the one I have isnt compatible with my laptop) I have tons of old pics. I also have a Reader's Digest from the 60's about WDW. One of my coworkers found a bunch of boxes of old old issues and I just happened to pick that one to read through. . there had to be hundreds of issues, and I only grabbed a few and this was in it. Pretty cool to read about WDW before it was built. I haven't pulled it out in a few years, but I *think* it was right after Walt passed away. Has the artist renderings of Epcot and everything. Maybe I'll see if I can take a close picture or something til I get access to a scanner.


Oh and keep posting pics! They're great!! I keep hoping for an old Diamond Horseshoe pic. . my great uncle played fiddle in the 70's, and we have NO pictures of him working (even though we visited him yearly)

I think I have tickets simalar to those posted! They are from 1985 I will have to look for that picture album! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I scanned in over 600 photographs and memorabilia items in the past 5 days.

My first family trip was 1990 so I'll start posting some from then!

We had our character breakfast at the Empress Lilly, named after Walt's wife (Fulton's Crab House now). Chef Mickey's was also in Downtown Disney at that time. Note the name at the top of the first picture.

And we would later see the blue spires in this float recycled many times in other parades. We have a great picture of the 3 Fairy Godmothers with these spires in 2005.

Notice in the photo of your DS with the Bart shirt on, that another boy in the background also has a Bart shirt on. 1990 was the height of the Simpsons popularity. Who did not have a "Don't have a cow, man" T-shirt?

Thanks for sharing. Keep putting up more please.

Thanks for sharing. Keep putting up more please.

Not only did he have that t-shirt and many more but a set of Simpson family figures picked up at a yard sale. He fussed so much for them (for $2.00 I think) that he wouldn't go to swim lessons unless I let him buy them with his own money! Now he has the dvds to play at school. His generation grew up on them I think! We have a teacher here at school who thinks that almost every lesson in life can be illustrated with a Simpson video (and would show them if he could get around our strict media viewing guidelines!)

You may be sorry for encouraging me! I have more memorabilia from 1990 and some pictures from 1992 and 1994 and and and............

If only I could find my 1979 stuff.

I've only just begun to post.... Oops sorta stole that!

Kathy, these are some fantastic pictures!! I actually have some pictures of my brother next to one of the turtles (Donatello, I think?) waiting to get an autograph, us in front of "The Lineup" display, and a picture of April waving from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yellow van.

I went to EPCOT on the 1st and saw the "Leave a Legacy" exhibit for the first time - I do not remember seeing it back in '96 - maybe I just don't remember?

What you all said about the Simpsons are true! Hehe, me and my brother grew up watching them. :)

I can't believe you scanned 600+ pictures in that amount of time.....wow!

Iris - DS and I went with some of his friends to see the TMNT in person at some arena and he was in heaven! And now he has a poster 6 feet long and 3 feet high showing all the Simpson characters; it decorates a wall in his townhouse at school. Since I scrapbook I still have our receipt for "Leave a Legacy" which cost us the amount shown below.

Yup! We're over in Montgomery County but I'm married to a "native Batimor......." you can finish that nickname I'm sure! Definitely buy a scanner, especially if you have older items and pre-digital pictures. I am having so much fun reliving the trips by scanning in the pics and the park memorabilia.

[PrincessV]

First off, THANK YOU so much to everyone for posting your pics of WDW days gone by. I literally had tears in my eyes looking at all the memories. See, all but one WDW pic from my youth were lost to Hurricane Hugo and looking at your pics really helped me to relive my WDW memories! :goodvibes

That's when Minnie Moo actually LIVED in the Magic Kingdom! I think that's when Mickey's Toontown Fair was called Mickey's Starland. Minnie Moo lived at Grandma Duck's Farm. Minnie Moo moved to Fort Wilderness around 1996 and went to the big pasture in the sky in 2001 at the ripe old age of 15!::MinnieMo

holbear - Great pictures! Lucky you to get to go back in '72! I am so jealous since I didn't get to go until '79 and that was as a chaperone with unruly teen club kids on a long, long bus ride!

This thread has inspired some digging into our pasts! :rotfl2:

[klmall]

First off, THANK YOU so much to everyone for posting your pics of WDW days gone by. I literally had tears in my eyes looking at all the memories. See, all but one WDW pic from my youth were lost to Hurricane Hugo and looking at your pics really helped me to relive my WDW memories! :goodvibes

I can contribute a little, though...
This was the only one to survive - my Dad with Goofy in 1980 or 81:

PrincessV - Sorry to hear that you lost your photos. You and your DS photo is so precious! Perhaps some of the posters here would be willing to send you their digitals if you asked for the years you need. I do have a few 1994 photos that I will be posting later this week. Thanks for sharing!

[Smooshdog]

I can't find any now, but I know that there are several pics of me and my siblings in Simpsons t-shirts at Disney...and yes we all still watch Simpson each Sunday at 7, we just don't wear the shirts to Disney anymore. :)

[Beatles_Girl]

Thanxxx for all those beautiful pictures....It really took me back to those days!!
Here are some of my old pics....

This one was in Universal in the Flinstones Car with my mom back in 1992...I know its not disney but the world of hanna barbera was so cool back then....

My first trip was in 2004. So I don't have much to share. But I do find it amazing how much the charecters outfits/costumes have matured over the years. I mean the design and detail of today are taken for granted when compared with some of these photos.

[SaraMc]

Thanks for posting the link! I was stunned to see that you could swim in the lake! Too bad they had to stop it - I guess the water is too dirty now.



When the originally opened the poly they also had wave machines out there to make it seem more like a beach with wave ect

[tinkerbell87512]

I love the photos everyone! I dont have any photos from my first trip. :(

But i really love looking at all of yours to see how much the park has changed!

[sweetascanbee]

Wow ! I just skimmed a few pages and photos, but thanks for sharing everyone!!
I especailly loved all the old ones. We started going to Disneyland in the 70's. I am now in the mood to go visit my mom and look at the old photo albums of the trips.

One more, kind of blurry. This one is of my mom and me after getting soaked on Tom Sawyer's island. We were in the cave, but as people started pouring in she got claustrophobic and ran out into the rain. Of course, I followed.:goodvibes

I have some old slides at my dads that I would love to get from him. I'll have to see about getting those on here somehow. ( I am not the most computer savvy person though:) )

My dad has a fancy new printer that will convert the slides, so I had him put them on a CD for me. If you don't have one of those Walmart can convert slides and I am sure any other photo place.

My ticket book was $1 less than the list price because I was traveling as a chaperone with a group at the time. And of course, I don't have any "E", "D" or "C" tickets left to show here but you can see what I probably used them on!

Let's keep this thread on Page 1!

these are the only ones i could find that i had scanned in my computer. the first one is in 1987 at sea world - yeah, i know...breaking the rules! but still thought you guys might like to see it. i'm 11, my sister was 4 (in the back of the stroller having a hard day) and my brother was only 1. not sure how old my stepmom was! check out my lil brother's air jordan nikes! and i LOVE the permed hair!

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n187/punkin413/disFile0010.jpg

these two are from our 1992 trip....the last time i was there!!! i'm 15, my sister is 8 and my brother is 5. my dad's the dorky guy in the back with sunglasses! both these were taken at epcot...mexico and france, i think.

Oh, this must be the parade from when Full House went to WDW. I just saw it again the other night. They had giant inflatables, and Stephanie and Michelle rode on the float with Cinderella and Snow White as princesses. It did seem pretty strange!

ETA: I tried to stick the Cinderella/Snow White picture back in the quote, but it only put it in as a link. :(

my DH can't remember the last time he went (but we're going in may - woohoooooo!), but he said it was when you had to buy a ticket for whatever rides you wanted to ride. so i guess this is what he was talking about. crazy!!!

This was a MK parade and to me, one of the strangest! The inflated characters were about 3 stories high and some of the accompanying floats were a bit circus-like!

I also have some photos of the girls at Universal...It was Before IOA. We walked into some sort of area where they were promoting the idea and I took photos of the girls....I know it's not the spot, but it's the beginning of IOA!

This parade is LEGEND in my family. My mom and aunt burned their butts while sitting on the sidewalk waiting for the parade. Hysterical. . . their butts were bright red for weeks! Looked like a sunburn! Still harrass them to this day.
