Anyone remember these ?

I had one as a kid but I remember that they had a small one and a deluxe.

Anyone remember both sizes ?

Back in the Day with Flight to the Moon and when the Canoe ride was still there, hehehehe

Good Stuff !

Just got back from DIS and rented a house off site. My Daughter of 15 wanted a more relaxing pace. 5 bedroom house with a pool, very nice.

As good as it was there is nothing like being ON SITE.

Looking forward to be back next summer, maybe trying one of DVC properties.

Sister in Law wedding puts me inthe area for Christmas Week, Sweet !

No, I didn't know there were two different sizes. Never seen one of them so now I'm interested.

I have one from Disneyland and one from WDW; both measure approx 5 1/2" long, by 3 1/2" wide by 2 3/8" deep. Both have identical puzzle mechanisms. Can you tell me more about the one I've never seen? Bigger, smaller, how did the graphics differ, etc.?

Thanks for the info!

WOW..you have 1 from both parks...Sweet

I remember having Panel Box Envy as a kid when my Best Friend came home with the Next Size Up Secret Panel Box.

We had both gone to Disney World and this would be between 73 and 76 When he came home with his. I have only seen the smaller one (which I lost in my Mom's Yard sale) but don't have any further info on the larger one except that I know its out there.

My box, like yours I'm sure, had the original moves on the end. Slide the piece and push down slide it again - push down again and the top slide then you could get access to the other end and the kewl little drawer behind it.

Wish I had more info for you and my box back, hehehe

Best of Luck and would like to know if you ever come across it .

Oh.....and I can't remember the puzzel mechinism but the graphic I believe was a little different.

It was maybe an inch or so longer and had more height.

I'm going back 30 years last I saw it but I do remember his was larger and different to get access.

I just came across this website the other day and was looking at this particular item funny it should come up as a topic on the boards at the same time.

Here's the website with pictures of it.

Nice Grab...thats the one I had.....although I didn't remembr that the pull out drawer had a cover that matched the outside of the chest. Now I'm gonna say that the big one had a drawer on both ends. Great Pic !
