wow what resort is that?

Not the original poster, but that's All Star Music.

[dtr_angel]

Not the original poster, but that's All Star Music.

thanks. That was my guess, but I didn't know what year the pictures were from and when the values came into existence.

The All Star Music and Sports opened in 1994, and Movies in 1999. :thumbsup2

I can't see them either.

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

I can't see them either but there is a trick I know that you can look a them. Right click on the x, then click properties. It will give you a url that the picture is located at. Copy that url and paste it in your browser bar, you will then be able to see it. You will have to do that with each picture but it works. :)

Perhaps it's just me, but what "x" are you talking about? I'm confused?!

In post 1505, all of the pictures have a red x in a box instead of showing the actual picture.

I do not have the boxes either. This is what I see.

The wheel in the pics is on opposite sides... am I wrong in recalling that there were two suits side by side? Much to my son's dismay, they removed these when they renovated for the nemo ride. He was looking forward to finally being able to ready the controls in the hands.

Yes there were 2 suits side by side. :)

I soooo miss this part of the backlot at the Studios. A the risk of being unpopular I just don't get the draw for the motorsports stunt show thing, I'd rather still walk down the "neighborhood" streets at Christmastime with all of the decorations, snowmen and Osborne lights. Sigh...

It was refreshing to see the old castle peeking out from behind. My friend was 19 when we went and had never been to WDW and she had to witness that ugliness! At first sight from Main Street, she asked "Ew! Where is the real castle?" Thank goodness Fantasyland took care of us.

[BusyVolMomof2]

Pics are really nice STEANBOAT209. I remember those good old days. I wasn't fond of the Castle Cake either but like you said, it's part of Disney history. Got any more?

Michele

I went during the "Castle Cake" as well (I was 12 I think) and I was so disappointed.

[saraheeyore]

thanks for posting all these pictures everyone. they are brilliant. its nice to see what the park used to be like. I was 18 the first time i went and have been every few years since but have never seen the 20,000 leagues or skyway or stuff like that

so did they actually PAINT it?? and then have to strip the paint off??
then just all all that other stuff??
I guess I thought it was all like fiberglass stuff over it.

however they did it.... it was ugly!

No, they didn't actually paint it. It was some sort of covering.

EDIT: Hmm, coincidentally, my DisneyWorldTrivia page a day calendar has this fact for today -

In 1996, Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom was transformed into a giant birthday cake as part of WDW's 25th Anniversary celebration. It was covered with more than 400 gallons of pink paint and then decorated with "inflatable icing," 26 candles, and an assortment of giant pieces of "candy" (such as 3-foot lollipops).

So maybe I'm wrong...maybe it was painted! I always thought it was just pink casing.

[Disneenut]

Yep they painted most of it. Looks like the painted everything that was not covered by ether the inflatable candles or what looks like a lot of styrofoam facade. When they where done i imagine that they just painted over the pink. trying to take of the pink would probably hurt the castle walls.

I wonder how thick the layers of paint on those castle walls are!! They must repaint every few years, didn't they just pain a few years ago when they took down the Happiest Celebration on Earth decorations? It's funny to think somewhere under the gray, there is still pink paint.

[DisneyGuy758]

Found some pictures and got them scanned last night. These are from 1995-1998 I think. There are only two that I know the exact year on, and I'll comment on them as they come up.

First up, just proving I'm old enough to remember, and have gone on the Skyway.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/Cpthowdy758/Old%20School/skyway.jpg

If you look closely, you'll notice a nice long wallet chain. This was before Disney put the smack down on such thing.

Yes it is. This is before they enclosed the 'sidewalk cafe'. From inside today you can see pretty clear distinctions between the original interior of the restaurant and what used to be sidewalk seating.

Haven't posted pictures here before so let's see if I can get this to work.

First we have a couple of WDW pictures circa 1977:

Me not being happy despite the fabulous ears.

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt156/chavalehbird/3290158453_21ffb2175a.jpg
My brother and I with dad who is sporting that lovely 70's look.

Then we didn't go again until the mid '80s, not sure what year.

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt156/chavalehbird/3290979464_185ca670d3.jpg
Those were some attractive home made smocks there (no, not really). The two kids had grown to four kids at this point.

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt156/chavalehbird/3290159307_e419c893eb.jpg
And dad grew 1980's facial hair.

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt156/chavalehbird/3290161549_62d59b7183.jpg
And here's our ticket from that trip, might help to pin down the date if it looks familiar to someone. I think there's even a day left on it! :eek: They were in one of my parent's wallets back home when it was stolen and then tossed into a ditch which is why it's all muddy and wrinkled looking. I guess the silly robbers weren't planning a trip to WDW.

[Disneenut]

Nice pictures Chavaleh. :thumbsup2

Is it me or does Mickey look skinner on the 4 day passport, and kinda bigger now a days. :confused3 Must come with age.... :rolleyes1

DOH!

I accidentally posted here when thinking I was posting on the NKOTB thread of the Dis. DISREGARD! haha.

[Buzz Litebeer]

Here are some vintage Disney photos a friend of mine posted on Facebook. He says the only thing they have in common is that they were all taken in the 1970s (the comments on each photo are his). These photos are posted here with his expressed permission.

OK, I have another "in" for a concert, if it ever happens ....
If within the next two years, starting in October, NKOTB go to NYC, I have my niece promising we will go while she is a student at AMDA. And even if it means divorce, I will have to splurge and get us VIP, if they keep that up.
Then my 18-year-old niece can laugh her bottom off at me through the whole thing. But she is just as bad as me, I can see her cutting up and carrying on. In fact, I KNOW she will cut up and carry on.
Last summer, she came to Houston and I was playing "Tonight" in the car and she loved it, even though my husband was making fun of me the entire time. In fact, she put it, and all of "Hanging Tough," on her IPod.
Good taste runs in the family.

Buzz, thanks for posting these! The old face characters look so amteurish...

Disregard ... I posted to the wrong thread and realized it a little too late. I corrected up top. Multiple threads open at once ... Sorry about that!

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Great pictures Buzz!! Funny characters, like the orange guy and Dumbo!! Minnie looks so funny too! It's also funny how Alice really has the long, blonde hair.

Yeah her head is so big compared to the rest of her body.

[LovinPooh]

Wow... love those pics Buzz!
I love the rabbit! I wouldnt mind seeing him around the parks now lol.
Very impressive to see how the parks have changed. No BTMR is interesting to say the least...
I have some old pics from the early 80s. But when my father took the pics he took pics over them. So you cant make out much except a character here and there :lmao: . Really too bad. I should dig those up some time and try to dechiper them:laughing:

[chicagoshannon]

Here are a couple of mine. I had to take pictures of pictures so they're not the best though.

[jenseib]

I have a picture of me with pooh and his honey pot head from the early years, after it opened. It is too funny.

That Alice looks like she has a Farah Fawcett hairdo. Such a change from the previous posted wit hthe really long hair. LOL!

It's amazing how much is so different, yet how much is still exactly the same. I will get some pictures scanned to add.

Where was this pic taken? Is that the Contemporary in the far background?

I'd guess it was taken on the shores of Bay Lake near Fort Wilderness. And yes, that is the CR in the background.

Those are great! I miss the Diamond Horshoe. I also think the old Poly pool was much prettier!

[Daddee]

wow this thread is awesome.
Im gonna need to bug my Mom for our family pics.
I know the last time I was at the world was 85. I know I was in WDW twice with my parents before that. I was also in DisneyLand. My last trip was with my HS Marching Band. I doubt I took any pictures on that trip. I wish I did since I marched in the 3pm parade.
Hopefully I will be able to get everything scanned at some point

[letthewookiewin]

First up, just proving I'm old enough to remember, and have gone on the Skyway.
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/Cpthowdy758/Old%20School/skyway.jpg



I love this pic!! It was was waiting in line to get on the Skyway back in March 1994 that I met my DH. We were so sad when we went to WDW for our 5th wedding anniversary and it was gone.

[bama4ever]

I loved "The Diamond Horseshoe" show. I really hate that they took it away!:sad1: I remember sitting in balcony eating a wonderful brownie sundae!:cloud9:

[zackiedawg]

Well here goes! I finally have been working on scanning some old slides and photos from my archives (and my family's archives) from my annual Disney visits since the park opened. I haven't come close to going through them all, but have a few that I scanned in.

Here's a shot of me & my uncle sitting by the fence that lined the sidewalk to Frontierland Station in MK in 1973...that field in the background is now filled with Big Thunder Mountain railroad, and where we are standing approximately is filled with Splash Mountain:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231620-5.jpg

Here we are again...fascinated with one of the big horses in front of the castle. The bridge to Liberty Square is to the left, and the left walkway up the castle just behind us. Note that the trees and hadges hadn't grown in much yet, so you can still clearly see through to Fantasyland behind the castle, where as now you see mostly the hedges lining the back pathways:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231620-4.jpg

Here's the center circle area in front of the castle, circa 1984. The little round flowerbed in the middle is where the Partners statue now stands, and notice how the tree planters and benches still surround the center area (I miss that - much more shady and less crowded-feeling back then in the middle):

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309232241.jpg

The 1983 version of the Frontierland Station...note how wide open the path is, and how you look right at the train station from Pecos Bill's (on the left). Of course, Splash Mountain wedged itself into this space, and forced Frontierland Station farther back:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231620-6.jpg

Check out Space Mountain from 1983/4...not much of a line outside...but also not much adornment to the building! Just an entrance to the corridor, and the little spaceman-coaster sculpture out front. And no arcade building either:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231929-3.jpg

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea subs - before they became an empty lake with Ariel's grotto, and before that became Pooh's wood play area. This is circa 1983:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231929-5.jpg

Epcot 1984 - Horizons. An old favorite for me too...now Mission:Space sits on this spot:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309230940-2.jpg

Next door to Horizons sat World of Motion...which was probably my favorite overall ride in Epcot. I was always a car guy, so the history of cars and all the cool cars inside, as well as the cool exhibit on the way out of real cars and future concepts, really made my day. This was also 1984. Test Track now fills this space:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309230940-7.jpg

1984, Epcot World Showcase near Japan. OK...so not too much different here, except I was happy that I found a photo that showed the double-decker busses still running around the World Showcase:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231619-2.jpg

In Epcot, they used to have this roaming Gypsy puppet show called "Promenade Players"...this shot is from 1984 I believe:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231929-1.jpg

Here's a monorail shot coming out of MK towards Contemporary. Note that just below the monorail, the tree-lined access road is now the extended MK bus depot area...and notice how Contemporary still had no convention center attached to it:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-070309134908-1.jpg

View in 1984 from the Fort Wilderness boat:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-070309134908-2.jpg

Inside the Contemporary around the same time, there was not yet a Chef Mickeys or Concourse Steakhouse...there was just the Terrace Cafe:

http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/data/500/20608466-050309231929-6.jpg

This is a shot taken from the mini boats rented from the Contemporary in 1984 - a cruise past River Country, the still thriving 'Waterin' Hole" near Fort Wilderness that is no more:

Does 1993 count as old? Even if it doesn't I'm posting them anyway. I tried to find some late 70's pics but I can't, guess my mom still has them.

Horizons.

One of the gags in Horizons was that you could choose one of three endings. Zipping around in that little spacecraft was one of them (the others involved a flying aircar and a personal submersible).

Actually, I think that's where the Frontierland Smoking Section now sits. At least, those totem poles are still there, and I don't believe they've ever been moved.

Nope. That's where the Frontierland Parade Gate is now. Splash Mountain is a little bit further up to the right.

I'm not sure what is more fun about this thread - the old Disney pictures or the fashions in them :rotfl2:

What year did they put the partners statue in?

[zackiedawg]

Sounds about right. I can't remember those totem poles, but I'm also not familiar with that smoking site. I'm like the frog in the boiling pot not knowing he's being cooked - I have been going to Disney so often every year since it opened that it's hard to notice the changes since they're incremental and over a long period of time!

Nope. That's where the Frontierland Parade Gate is now. Splash Mountain is a little bit further up to the right.

Thanks! Helps me picture the current location a little better.

What year did they put the partners statue in?

I'm not sure if I have the exact year correct, but I want to say 1995 or so. They first put in the statue and still left more of the planters around it so it was more tucked in, then later renovated the center area to open it all up like it is today (not as pretty but fits more people in the space for the stage shows, I guess!).

[chicagoshannon]

Thank you! I feel less crazy now. I never remembered that statue from when I was a kid!

Thanks for posting your photos, and especially this old Ft. Wilderness photo.

Do you have any other old Ft. Wilderness photos? If so, I know a lot of folks on the camping section of this board was love to see those.

Great photos!!!! Thank you!!!!

This totem pole one is interesting to me.

A while back, someone posted this photo:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/tikipolesap2-1.jpg

When it was posted, folks could not place these totem poles anywhere in the MK. I posted the photo on the camping boards, thinking perhaps these totems had been somewhere in Fort Wilderness, but no one remembered them there. An astute observer pointed out that there appeared to be a railroad crossing arm in the back ground of the photo. But the consensus was that this photo did not look like WDW.

Looking at these two photos, I think the fence and the rocks look pretty darn close, and the totem pole in your picture looks pretty close to the front totem (the one closest to the fence) in the older photo.

On my last visit to the MK in 2/09, I snapped this photo near the exit of BTMRR, thinking perhaps that these were the mysterious totems, but none of these look the same as the totems in the old photo:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/ValentinesDayPresidentsDay200938-1.jpg

I think that the totems in the two older photos may be the same. Anybody else have any observations on this?

TCD

[angey77]

Doesn't appear to be the same ones, but here is a pic from 1979 of my sister and I in front of mystery totem poles. I used to think it was Discovery Island, but I'm clueless. Really, I don't even remember going to Discovery Island since I was so young. And I really do think this is the first and only time I ever cried in WDW (what was wrong with me??).

But look at the railing ... it appears to be similar to the other pics posted, but not exact. But there is water behind everything in my pic. Anyone want to take a stab at it?

I would say it looks about 90% sure that the older photo are the same totems as in my photo, just from a slightly different angle and farther away. I'd guess too that the other photo is from 1971 or early 1972, because it looks like landscaping is incomplete, and the trees are much much smaller. But the hill in the background, the tree just to the left of the frame, the main totem behind where I'm sitting, and the tall rock jutting up on the left of frame all seem a perfect match.

I actually didn't know the location of this either - I did alot of searching on the web to come up with either Fort Wilderness or maybe Magic Kingdom. Some other Disney fans I know came up with some old photos of the path to the Frontierland train station that had the same fence and rock lined path in it, which was the first guiding suspicion...then further searching turned up a written description of the Frontierland station area that specifically mentioned the large grassy area spotted with trees and totem poles where BTMRR is currently. That seemed to all come together as pretty solid information, since I put together 2 or 3 different sources that all placed my photo in Frontierland.

It's been very interesting to go back through my own archives and find all this stuff that I can't even remember!

I'd guess yours are in Frontierland too actually. Just a wild guess...but in the background on the water, it looks like the prop wash from one of the Tom Sawyer rafts?...hard to tell for sure, but with the matching fence and rocks at the bottom, you seem to be in a similar area but not the same spot. You might be much closer to Rivers of America, maybe near the spot where the Splash Mountain flume makes the turnaround after the drop? That would give you the Tom Sawyer rafts in the background. Wild guess!

Good eye on the prop wash, I never noticed that!
I'm going to be on a totem pole hunt in May. I'm deeply curious now.

Thanks, this was something that had me stumped for a while. Interestingly enough, there used to be quite a few totem poles around Ft. Wilderness, and now there are none. It is amazing how barren this area of the MK looks in the older photo, yet how extensive the landscaping is in your photo.

TCD

[zackiedawg]

Have they even taken down the totems by the Settlement depot? I thought I remembered those still being there...though I only passed through FW last year once, and haven't stayed there for 3 years.

[Carrie772]

What's a prop wash?

Have they even taken down the totems by the Settlement depot? I thought I remembered those still being there...though I only passed through FW last year once, and haven't stayed there for 3 years.

The last totem pole that I recall seeing in the Settlement area was in front of the Settlement trading post. Here is a photo of my DD next to it in the mid '90s. This photo was taken from the Settlement trading post porch, looking toward Trail's End and Pioneer Hall:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/20.jpg

This is a photo of the area taken in November, 2008, again looking toward Pioneer Hall:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/ThanksgivingFW2008369.jpg

I don't think that there is a single totem pole anywhere in Fort Wilderness, anymore.

TCD

[Tri-circle-D]

What's a prop wash?


Prop wash is the disturbance made in the water by the propeller of a boat. Like the little bubbles and waves that you can just see in the back left edge of the photo of the totem poles by the water.

TCD

[Buzz Litebeer]

What's a prop wash?
They mean the backwash from the propellers on the Rafts that run to and from Tom Sawyer's Island.

[bigAWL]

I did a little photo comparison, and I believe these are some of the same totems used throughout the years. Where these things are located, I have no idea.

I think it's clear that these two posted by Tri-circle-D and zackiedawg are the same.
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g201/lockardaw/WDW/Totem1.jpg

I also think that these two totems include some of the same elements. Maybe they are individual figures stacked on top of each other and somewhat modular. It looks to me like one in the newer photo from Tri-circle-D has an additional figure (white animal holding a stick) in place of the short square smiley face in the photo posted by angey77. But it looks like the next figure up is the same (you can just see the feet in the older photo).

It looks to me like one in the newer photo from Tri-circle-D has an additional figure (white animal holding a stick) in place of the short square smiley face in the photo posted by angey77. But it looks like the next figure up is the same (you can just see the feet in the older photo).

Thanks for posting this comparison.

I think the first two photo excerpts you posted do show that these photos are of the same totem pole.

As for the totem pole at Fort Wilderness, I never really studied that "white animal holding a stick." What is up with that thing? Pretty creepy if you ask me.

I think these totem poles mean something. It would be interesting if a Native American could tell us what is going on here.

I also wonder why all of the totem poles are gone from Ft. Wilderness, but they still have them at the MK, Epcot, and at Wilderness Lodge.

[TJM1976]

Great photos!!!! Thank you!!!!

This totem pole one is interesting to me.

A while back, someone posted this photo:

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/tikipolesap2-1.jpg

When it was posted, folks could not place these totem poles anywhere in the MK. I posted the photo on the camping boards, thinking perhaps these totems had been somewhere in Fort Wilderness, but no one remembered them there. An astute observer pointed out that there appeared to be a railroad crossing arm in the back ground of the photo. But the consensus was that this photo did not look like WDW.



This older pic, (1972) was before my time... but interesting that the pervious poster mentioned the RR crossing arm. MK Train runs in that area and that may be the crossing arm?? Which if those poles are in the Frontierland smoking area, it could be correct, just imagine no landscaping or anything else.....

[Tri-circle-D]

I marked what appears to be a railroad crossing arm with a red arrow, and what looks like a railroad crossing sign with a green arrow. I wonder what the thing that I marked with a yellow arrow is?

http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn76/Tri-Circle-D/tikipolesap2-1-1.jpg

I never knew that the train station used to be in a different location from where it is now. It seems to me that the area in this photo might be where Splash Mountain is now.

It still amazes me that there was an area visible to guests that looked this barren in the MK. I always thought everything in the MK looked perfect and magical, but this area sure doesn't, at least not in this photo.

I have feeling that the picture above might be the same area as this picture below. Someone else posted the below picture. But if you look to the right top of the roof in the grassy area in front of what looks like Pooh's Hunny Pot, it looks like there are a couple poles there. But I don't know if they are the same poles. Of course those are no longer there.

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/TJM1976/MK.jpg


I also found this picture that was posted by someone else but if you look to the far right, i think those poles are the same as the ones that are still there today. Note the last picture in my posting. The dock on the far left of this picture is the loading dock for Tom Sawyer Island.

That's definitely the same area we were referring to in the two comparison photos, including the one I took. Thanks for digging this one up, as it gives a better perspective of that area (and thanks to whoever posted it originally).

It's also interesting to see that some of those totems are still there! I can't honestly say I've taken any notice of them, but certainly will in the future.

Thanks for (re)posting these photos! I think you are right- this does look like the area in question. In the second photo, what is the area along the water on the right? That isn't the loading area for Tom Sawyer island, is it? Looks like a picnic area or something.

In the first photo, it looks like a parade is going on, and Pooh and the Honey Pot are walking off by where BTMRR is now. Maybe that was the entrance/exit area for the parades back then (because the train station was in a different location at the time)?

Interesting stuff!

It is amazing to me how different this area looks now, with SM and BTMRR.

That's the canoe loading area. They used to have the longboat style canoes that you could ride - the dock and loading area for those canoes is actually still there between Tom Sawyer and Big Thunder, but it's all closed off now.

Yep. It's now a designated smoking area. And for a while it was the loading dock for the Keelboats after they closed the old Keelboat dock next to the Haunted Mansion.

Thank you for posting these photos! I saw the small building on the far right of your second photo (and the middle of your third photo) on my last visit, but it was night, and I couldn't see very well. It looked like it was covered with roll-up fabric shades, which suggested to me that it might sometimes be used for something. Does anyone know what this building was or is used for? It could have been a place where food or drinks were sold.

So these poles then are kind of in a covered brush area now? it was hard to tell, but can people actually see them with our actually "looking" for them. (I hope that makes since)

It does make sense. And honestly, I don't think they are noticable. Especially if you are not a smoker. :rotfl2: That area is now the smoking section. If i had not been looking for them, I would have never found them. And the small building there appears to be a drink stand. But I didn't pay much attention to it because I was trying to look over the bushes to see the poles better.

Its amazing how much things change!!

Hi! That is Friar Tuck from Robin Hood.

1984. My mom was pregnant with my brother so my dad 'had' to ride with me on Space Mountain since I LOVED rollercoasters. He was terrified! We went on twice before he got sick. :lmao:

I don't have a picture of that but here are some pictures I do have.
Since I was only 5 1/2 and have only been to Disney one other time I have no idea where any of these photos take place.

My parents took a trip to Disney World in the early 70's ( I think 72 ) when Space Mountain first opened. On our trip in 1999 in line for Space Mountain they show a video, I think right before you enter the large loading room. Standing there in line watching the video we saw my parents on the video. I have tried searching for the video, but I don't really know what to call it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.:worship::worship::worship:

Here is one from Disneyland in 1976. I'm cracking up laughing in the picture, because Eeyore had covered up my face completely and finally realized and he moved his paw. And of course this was way before Character Handlers and lines. So I guess I'm lucky that I'm the only kid in the picture.

Hi Folks,

The old photos are great!

I'm currently writing a new book on the railroads at WDW...one of the key chapters is the WDW RR in the Magic Kingdom.

I'm in real need of earlier photos of the railroad for the book, prior 1988. If anyone has any of these older photos, I would really like to hear from you!

Thanks!

AFAIK, most of the first Peter Pans at DLR had female "friends". One of the first is a friend of mine who currently works at WDW (and not in Entertainment) -- I'll have to show her that photo!

I have a question:

Aren't all pictures taken at a Disney park "Old Disney Park Photos"?

[Buzz Litebeer]

Yes, but in varying degrees Perhaps a better title for the thread would be "Vintage Disney Park Photos".

[bigAWL]

I have a question:

Aren't all pictures taken at a Disney park "Old Disney Park Photos"?

I don't think so. Are all cars on the road "old cars?" Are all people who have been born "old people?"

Photos that I think are appropriate in this thread are views of the parks that are no longer available for one reason or another. Maybe an attraction that is gone, or character costumes that are no longer seen, or even crowd pictures including fashions of bygone days.

Hm. Ever since I could talk (and boy did mom regret teaching me) I've been saying "I'm __ years old" You mean to tell me I wasn't old? I missed out on being young! :sad2: << need a bawling my eyes out smiley. I'm in the mood for a Disney fix - who wants to hit FL with me?

I can still hear the "Fifteen years and we're having a party!" jingle.

We were in the elevator with a man wearing a hat that said, "I'm a winner!!" I think it was in the Living Seas. The had was not particularly disney, just a straw hat with sparkles. My mom asked the man what he won, and he replied, "I won the hat."

Don't know if it was true or not, but we all laughed. I won a pin.

I can still hear that jingle as well and I don't know why because it wasn't a particularly amazing jingle, but I can still hear, "15 years, we're having us a party! 15 years, the party's just begun!" Why it stuck, I don't know.

Could be because it was the year our car got jacked in the Magic Kingdom parking lot. Ha! I was just a kid, but what an experience. Was that our prize? :scared1:

[brack]

I have a question:

Aren't all pictures taken at a Disney park "Old Disney Park Photos"?

I don't think so .....
Photos that I think are appropriate in this thread are views of the parks that are no longer available for one reason or another. Maybe an attraction that is gone, or character costumes that are no longer seen, or even crowd pictures including fashions of bygone days.

I agree with you. :confused: This thread ought to be things are no longer seen or have changed substantially. There are other threads for current items.

I like seeing the old park pics and to see how its changed over the years. Even if the pic is only 10 yeras old. Just nice to see how big the trees have grown etc.

This pic of Pluto, Mickey, and Goofy... where was it taken? Toon Town?

[marciemi]

I was wondering about that pic too!

Another not so old one, but you won't see Dreamfinder anymore and not Figment as a puppet either! This was 1997:

I vaguely remember the kiosk in the middle, but don't remember what their purpose was. Anyone remember?

[marciemi]

I remember it vaguely too and swear it had film and maps at least (and maybe kind of an info booth?). I can't remember if it also had basic gift shop type items too. Or I could be completely wrong on all counts! ;)

[TJM1976]

I was going to ask that also, but assumed it was maybe a snack stand??..... :confused3

[BethC1952]

I have a dim memory from when my son was about 3 (he just turned 34 last week):scared1: of buying Welch's Grape Juice from a stand in that area, and maybe extra tickets from when WDW used ticket books for the rides. Of course, my memory may be a trifle faulty these days!

[jenseib]

When I was 5 we went to WDW, and I am 40 now :scared1: But I remember a ticket stand near Dumbo. But I think Dumbo has been moved since that rip. Not sure how far or from where though.

[HallGirl]

I vaguely remember the kiosk in the middle, but don't remember what their purpose was. Anyone remember?

It looks like an old ticket booth to me. Though at that point it was probably an information booth that may have sold a few small things, like that kiosk that is now by Winnie the Pooh.

[cchev]

wow I just looked through all 113 pics....awesome. I'll have to see if I can get some of my old ones up here!

It appears that the kiosk is no longer in the same spot as the vintage photo that was posted on the previous page. On the vintage photo, the kiosk is next to the carousel, closer to IASW. It was probably moved at some point to make more walkway space. ??

[Buzz Litebeer]

It was probably moved at some point to make more walkway space. ??
According to this 1973 park map from Yesterland.com, there were two Information and Ticket booths in Fantasyland: one next to what is now The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh, and one in front of the Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant (this booth has since been removed).

Can you imagine seeing these costumes hanging in some warehouse somewhere on Disney property? Spooky! Also, wouldn't it be cool if Disney did a retro day and brought back some of the old costumes? We could even dress in retro rags!

[Eventer98]

bump! :goodvibes

[Ilivetogo]

I vaguely remember the kiosk in the middle, but don't remember what their purpose was. Anyone remember?

It looks to me like that kiosk is the ticket booth where you would buy your extra "A" through "E" tickets. I remember when buying an "E" ticket would be $.80. You could also pick up a park map there.

Those little ticket booths were scattered throughout the park.

I know this isn't an old photo, but it's an old video (television commercial) for the contemporary resort that I found on youtube.

[clc053103]

does anyone remember the in-room tv station that showed the Disney ad in the late 70's and early 80's? I remember the River Country portion ("It's the Kursplashinist, Kid Laughinist..." ) and the last line, the girl with the goofy high voice saying "I hope you are having a wonderful time at...Walt Disney World....Bye!"

Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this? I must have watched it 100 times on each poly trip!

Don't post them as attachments. Upload them to photobucket and then copy the IMG link over here. So much easier. I always her nothing but trouble with attachment thing. And with them on photobucket you can post them on any site then

Actually, it's still there... sort of. Disney has basically left everything there and abandoned the site in 2001. It is close to where the Fort Wilderness camps still are - they were always there, too.

Loved looking at all the pictures. Do remember most. Loved 20,000 leagues under the sea. I remember when the characters would roam around and you didn't have to wait on a long line to see them.

Some of the clothes made me laugh. I remember when my daughter always put her pants in the big scrunch socks. I remember when the guys wore those long socks with the different color socks. Couldn't wait to get rid of my DH's as he didn't want to see them go.

Its so sad to know that River County is still there but in a deplorable state. Something like that should not exist in a place like WDW!:sad2:

[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]

Didn't they abandon RC because the water was unsafe to swim in?

[TJM1976]

Didn't they abandon RC because the water was unsafe to swim in?


I think that was the major factor. Since they banned swimming in the Lake/Lagoon, and the water from RC was from Bay Lake. But its such an eye sore. An abandoned water park! And when you walk to Pioneer Hall, you see the fence surrounding RC.

Swimming in the lake was banned way before RC closed. I'm pretty sure it was a cost cutting move on Disney's part.

Swimming in the lake was banned way before RC closed. I'm pretty sure it was a cost cutting move on Disney's part.

Actually some of the theories are that it was closed becuase of the high bacteria contamination in the lake and several deaths had occurred from other FL lakes near that time. Also there was a law that said that the yahd to have a different water saource other than the lake, which would've been big money and also since part of the park was the lake, it wouldn't work so well. I think it was closed for like 3 or 4 years before they offically announced that it would not ever be reopened. Up until then it was kind left in the air like it may open again at a alter date.

Nice photos. It's a shame that this is all overgrown like that. I see the rock slide that was in one of my pictures. I bet Disney will develop that into some sort of attraction.

I bet it sits like that forever, or gets totally cleared for something else, but no for many years.

Yikes, the RC photos are spooky. Like the photos of the abandoned Splendid China park - gives me the heebie jeebies.

You need to copy the code that is between the *[/COLOR]] [*/IMG] ---but it will not included the * that I added so that the message board won't try to post it as a picture

Here is what it should look like (again without the *):

Thanks I have 2 more and I will try. I spent a lot of time trying. Clearly not computer savvy.
Anyway, DH & I met Charlton Heston at Disney MGM in 12/95. He was having a book signing for [/In The Arena][U].

Here is an old post card I found online. I thought I would share it. It's from the worlds fair with the "small world" attraction.

Hi everyone! I am in possession of my grandparents photo albums and they have tons of pics from the 70's and 80's that I need to get scanned in. So, as soon as I do that I will come back and post them!

Would someone be able to tell me how to post the picture big though? I used photobucket and just copy & paste the IMG address but this is the size they turn out to be:

The only advice I can give is that if you're scanning smaller photos, that's the size they'll come out if you scan them on a full page scanner. If you crop the selected area on your scanning program (ie, only scan the photo, not the whole page), it should come out much larger. This may vary by the type of scanner you have though. But normally on photobucket, the pictures come out initially the size they were scanned (or uploaded for digital pics - which is usually much larger).

I don't have any picture to post just yet still trying to convert slide's to picture's and then import them.. LOL But it is really sad to see that RC really went to crap.. What would be nice is that they decide to revive RC and just close it off from the lake and have it just be regular water.. To tell you the truth I would rather go to river country than either TL or BB.. I just love how the water park made you think you were in the middle of the woods.. But I think they had the greatest water attractions for any waterpark at DW... I really wish they would bring it back..

I am here to share my old pictures of Disney!!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/dulc1/sets/72157622208909016/

My first trip was in 1976.I was 2 yrs old. and have made many many trips since then...
I guess since Polaroid film was expensive back then pictures were few and far between but my parents got the ones that matter most :)
I don't know what years they all because they failed to write any information on any of the pictures.
The newer looking ones of me and the other 2 kids were trips we took when they came *my cousins* from TX for the summer.So we were older and those were with a film camera..LOL
Does anyone know where the one was taken of me in the room with the statues of Mickey and Minnie?
And the one with the horns? I can't figure out where that is at either.We only went to Disney except one trip to Marineland but I believe I was older when we went there.I can't figure out where it might have been from.
The Minnie Mickey and Pooh bear I still have today :) :goodvibes:goodvibes
It is funny seeing my Daddy smoking outside of 200000 Leagues Under The Sea.Not that I promote smoking but it shows how times have changed.
I custom make outfits for DD to wear to the parks and I see my Mama did the same for me.The "overalls" have pooh bear on them.I have Mickey sandals on in some of the photos too.

Thanks for sharing all of the Disney photos of the past!! And glad that I have some to share too :)
