DOH!

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

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.

The Contemporary Resort and Space Mountain, as seen from Bay Lake and Fort Wilderness (Photo probably circa 1975)

My father, sister and I on a raft from Tom Sawyer's Island. Note the rather conspicuous lack of Big Thunder Mountain in the background.

The Orange Bird and I in front of the Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland. To this day a Citrus Swirl is one of my favorite treats.
(Buzz adds: Mine, too!)

The Haunted Mansion, 1971. Note that Superstition Bridge has not yet been built on Tom Sawyer's Island.

A River Pirate's keelboat sits in front of Wilson's Cave Inn (circa 1971).

The Secret Bathing Pool of the Indian Elephants! Jungle Cruise, 1971.

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.

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!

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.

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 . Really too bad. I should dig those up some time and try to dechiper them

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

From the area after Imagination.

Those were all from 1985

Pooh with the hunny pot is a riot!

Pooh with the hunny pot is a riot!

I know! I never understood why they put his honeypot on his head!! Ridiculous!

 

[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.
