How's come all those kids in that picture are so skinny? Didn't kids get fed back then?

They look normal to me.

Not compared to most of the kids you see at the waterparks today!

There weren't any video games or computers back then so kids used to play outside.

I was about to say the exact same thing! Plus, there didn't seem to be so many fast food chains around back then either.

A few from July 1976 - The Bicentennial Year. Was going through some old slides and came across these Ektachrome slides. I was delighted to see how well the images have held up over the years. These are all edited to some degree, using editing tools that certainly were not available to me in 1976 so, in some cases, the scanned images are actually better than the original transparencies:

OK, this goes against all better judgment, but I figure if you can't laugh at yourself, your world isn't a very good place! So, I took some digital pics of the pics. Oooh, this is scary stuff. People, please, viewer discretion is advised!

Yep, and I thought I was H-O-T and cool at the same time. I was hoping to run into Damon from The Mickey Mouse Club while we were there. He could have never resisted me!!!!!

I am a little bit younger than you, but if I had seen you at Disney World back then I would have thought you were the HEIGHT of cool. For the record I was in LOVE with Chase from Mickey Mouse Club!

Thanks for posting that picture it made me nostalgic for my 80's youth!

Yep - with real food. Now it's all high fructose corn syrup and fillers.

YEKCIM - Those are the best digital copies of images of that era that I have seen posted! What did you use to scan them?

BTW... RIP Ektachrome...

I know this post if from a year ago, but I just came across this thread yesterday and have been enjoying it alot. I will have to find and scan my pictures when I went in July 1984.

Posters keep asking if anyone sees theirself in other's pictures. Well I think I have spotted my self in this picture. I think I'm the gentleman with the thoughtful look on the left side of the picture same row as the poster. Can't really see the detail enough and I don't have the software to bring it in clearer if I enlarge the picture. Just wanted to let you know it is possible to find yourself in someone else's pictures. (maybe)

I LOVE THIS TREAD! I am going to dig through all my old photos. As a little one we were more Disneyland people because grandma lived in LA. My first trip to world was when I went with my HS band my freshman year. I know I have many pictures that will embarrass family friends and countrymen. I am going to look now!
It is funny to think that as much as things change they stay the same. Main street, the castle (minus the cake year) that is one of the reasons we always LOVE
