Great pics! But that second picture is flipped, right? It's making my brain hurt.

OMG you're right! Some of the slides I'm scanning are flipped, and I'm usually pretty good about catching it. This one has been bugging me too, but it hadn't occurred to me that was why.

I think all are flipped? maybe from old slides?? Yes..... hurts to look at the castle in a mirror?

Great to see them though!!!

I remember that driving my grandfather bananas during the family slideshow evenings. This whole tray seems to have the slides in backwards, which surprises me, because my dad is usually pretty meticulous about that kind of thing!

Hope you post some more soon! There is another whole thread with hundreds of old park photos where these could be posted also.

Pictures of Things No Longer Seen at WDW

Yours would be among the oldest for sure!

Main Street 1981

Dad and I in front of Magic Kingdom 1981. Look at the head of hair on the old man!

Another Main Street in 1981. Trees and all.

I'm guessing this is MCO baggage claim, but maybe someone can chime in who knows. That's definitely an 18-month-old me in overalls.

Oooh. I'll have to post some later. My DH's parents took him to WDW just a few months after it opened in 1971. We just found some pics while cleaning out my late MIL's house. Plus, an original park map, ticket books, etc. I'm going to make him a collage with them.

I wasn't even born yet. He was 4! Still remembers it.
