Old Disney Park photos

[Glendamax]

The first picture is from 1979, the second from our 2004 trip. It was truly magical to go to Disney World as an adult with not only my own kids, but with my siblings, their children and my parents. We had a great time recreating a few shots found in Mom & Dad's photo albums. (I'm on the right )

This a good one! I'm going to try to take my picture here when I go to compare it to the one when I was 13!

If you have anymore, please post! These are really cool!

I borrowed this picture off the internet, but I have one like it. My parents spent our entire first trip in '72 looking for "The Orange Bird". Finally found at The Enchanted Tiki Room! I was so excited!

I love that orange bird and he use to be on all the OJ cups at the Florida Welcome Center! Ever since I was a kid I couldn't wait to hit the Florida stateline and get that free OJ with the cute bird on the cup. This year....there was no orange bird on the outside of the cup. I wonder if they still use the orange bird at all. I liked him!

Man, it's like someone opened my mind right back to when I was a kid!

We visited WDW several times a year since we lived in Daytona Beach. I have TONS of fonds memories, and photos...but all of the photos are at my Mom's house now. I'll have to see if I can dig them up.

I did notice that there are hardly any "overweight kids" in these pictures....is it because we were actually forced to walk instead of using strollers??? No flames, just noticing...

I only got as far as page 10 so far, but wanted to post my observations..go back and look at those first 10 pages of pics and you will see a lot less "water buffalos" We ,Americans, have sure let our bodies fall apart. The next interesting thing is people are wearing clothes. Their bodies are in better shape, and they still have the decency not to wear clothes(or bikinis or halter tops) or other variety of clothes that let the good times roll out.
It often surprises me what we now feel ok about doing amongst other people..absolutely no respect for ourselves or others.


I also was very thrilled to see the skyway..I remember that from my only childhood trip and really wish they had it still.

The two buildings for the Skyway are still there...I wonder what they'll end up doing with them...

You sure got that right!! Everytime we go we get to see 'beachwear' (inappropriately) passing(?) for clothing.

These pictures are terrific. One of these days I'll have to dig some out. I just had them out last month & buried the boxes in a closet & my neck doesn't feel like going back for them again.

I may have to disagree with you. I think what men use to wear was way to revealing! Those short "hot pant" shorts...haha! No one needs or want to see all that...haha!! I don't want to see that much of any man! I'm glad that has changed!! I can't imaging seeing men in those getting in and out of rides....haha!! Woah!!

Strollers are very different, but "stroller parking" lives on!

Wow, I remember those strollers, I rode in a few of them.

 

[2angelsinheaven]

The first two are from either 1984 or 85 and the last is from the the opening year of MGM.

Me and Snowwhite, I think I was about 4 or 5 here.

Me and Goofy and my cousin James

Me, my little sister and Dad and Baloo (yikes check out my outfit, wow!)

I started this thread last May and I'm amazed of the pictures that have been shared over the years. I see there are many pictures of the skyway. What year did they get rid of the skyway? I've noticed alot of parks that use to have skyway rides no longer have them. I think it's such a good relaxing ride. I'm wondering why Disney got rid of it.

I heard that a CM fell to their death. Even though it is tragic, I too miss it, and wish that they would put it back.

Glad to see this thread resurface! I hope to get a scanner soon so I can contribute!

I love this thread! I only have 2 old pix scanned in, but I'll get to work on scanning in more. I don't remember where these were taken, but it is Epcot circa 1983.

This is the second floor of the Journey into Imagination pavilion - my DSis and I have a pic of us with the old Dreamfinder and Figment up there. [I'll have to find them and scan them in]

And someone way upthread mention the awesome stage they had at the Tomorrowland Terrace - I remember seeing a Miami Sound Machine knock-off band called "Tobasco" there in the early/mid 1980's.
