Old Disney Park photos

[klmall]

This was a MK parade and to me, one of the strangest! The inflated characters were about 3 stories high and some of the accompanying floats were a bit circus-like!

these are the only ones i could find that i had scanned in my computer. the first one is in 1987 at sea world - yeah, i know...breaking the rules! but still thought you guys might like to see it. i'm 11, my sister was 4 (in the back of the stroller having a hard day) and my brother was only 1. not sure how old my stepmom was! check out my lil brother's air jordan nikes! and i LOVE the permed hair!

these two are from our 1992 trip....the last time i was there!!! i'm 15, my sister is 8 and my brother is 5. my dad's the dorky guy in the back with sunglasses! both these were taken at epcot...mexico and france, i think.

i wish these showed more of the actual parks. i'm going to look to see if i have some more from the '92 trip. my mom has all the pictures from our earlier trips.

Oh, this must be the parade from when Full House went to WDW. I just saw it again the other night. They had giant inflatables, and Stephanie and Michelle rode on the float with Cinderella and Snow White as princesses. It did seem pretty strange!

ETA: I tried to stick the Cinderella/Snow White picture back in the quote, but it only put it in as a link.

But can't find any photos just other stuff so I'll post a little memorabilia from my very first visit in 1979.

My ticket book was $1 less than the list price because I was traveling as a chaperone with a group at the time. And of course, I don't have any "E", "D" or "C" tickets left to show here but you can see what I probably used them on!

Let's keep this thread on Page 1!

my DH can't remember the last time he went (but we're going in may - woohoooooo!), but he said it was when you had to buy a ticket for whatever rides you wanted to ride. so i guess this is what he was talking about. crazy!!!

You can't tell it's at Disney but I promise you it is. That's me when I was 2 with my great grandmother Bess.

....awwwww......

Yikes.. Look at that man in red in the bottom right..

when i first saw him i thought he was a disney employee...but then i realized that nope, it's just the '70's fashion rearing its ugly head!!!

Wow, I love the floats - I didn't get to see that...and seeing all you guys when you were younger is really cool
Here's a pic from 1998 of the double decker bus that transported the characters around EPCOT. Now the bus is red....

Here's another photo, this one is from the original Figment ride...
EEEE Maaaa Gin A Shun!!!!

Now here's me and my girls sharing a shake at the 50's Prime Time Cafe..

And here's us sharing ice cream on Main Street five years later...

I also have some photos of the girls at Universal...It was Before IOA. We walked into some sort of area where they were promoting the idea and I took photos of the girls....I know it's not the spot, but it's the beginning of IOA!

This parade is LEGEND in my family. My mom and aunt burned their butts while sitting on the sidewalk waiting for the parade. Hysterical. . . their butts were bright red for weeks! Looked like a sunburn! Still harrass them to this day.
