Old Disney Park photos

[HockeyDad]

OK, so I kept trying to post pics here and it kept giving me an error...
so then I tried it by just putting a "link" rather than doing the picture option... same error...
Then I took all the "img" or "url" thingies out so it just had the "text" version of the link... and it must know it's a link and put it back in and returned to the same error.
I have a bunch of pics I wanted to share with you guys, but it won't even let me put a link to my album... what the heck???

In any case, maybe someone can help - this is the error I keep getting:

Could not find phrase 'error_postcount_too_low_post_links'.

I think that you need at least 10 (?) posts before you can attach a photo.

If that is so - here is one post...

 

[bulah1]

ok - that should be my 10th... lame...

I LOVE this thread, it totally is everything I remember about my first trip to Disney in 1984. Below I'll post a few pics that I could find, I know there are many more around (like with Figmint - he was my favorite then - I was about 4 or 5 then) and I had a Figgy toy I played with in the car all the way back to IL and by the time we got home his neck lost all its stuffing from playing too much! LOL - so his head hung by his belly! LMAO!! I also know there's a pic of me someplace where in Epcot with those little spurts of water that jump from spot to spot, I was looking down into one literally seconds before it spattered all over my head! LMAO!! Can't find either of those though - makes me sad. Is it true Figment's area has changed - is he still there at least??

Well here I go with some pics. I'll post my later trips in the 90's in a day or two, but these were "retro" and couldn't help but post them first. I (again) was only about 5 here (maybe 4-1/2) - so I'm the little tyke. My mom was taking all the photos, so she never ended up IN any of them... No Photopass? I dunno, I was too young to care. My two sisters and my dad are the others in the pics with me. Here it goes...

My sisters and I - where is this? Epcot maybe?

Sisters and me in the torture devices... I look like a trapped spider or something! LOL

Dad strolling down the street.

YAY for flying elephants! Hey! I think my mom is in the elephant with me, she DID make it in a shot! That's us in the green one! I think I see one of the SkyWay tower standy-things there with the lines. Were those working in 84? I honestly don't recall seeing them in action! I don't see any of the transport cars up there, and I would think if it was going you'd see 'em at least someplace in that pic.

No idea where this is exactly... Epcot?

The middle sis and I in front of the castle... doesn't seem very busy right at that time.

Sisses, Dad, and Me in front of Spaceship Earth... um, I guess I had better things to do than take pictures... LOL

YAY! I still love Robin Hood to this day! One of my all time favorites!!

You can KIND of see my Dad and I back there, I think we were both having a good time!

My poor sisters had to do all the kiddie rides with me... but you know what? When I go back in October - Teacups are a must, I don't care! LOL

Don't really remember what ride this was, is it the jungle cruise thing? My mom took hundreds of pics of the fake animals in that, but hardly of the FAMILY on our trip to Disney! Gotta love her!

One of my other few memories of my first trip - the Tikis... I loved them so and annoyed my family for hours later singing the merry little song! How much has this one changed since I was there? I know there's that Aladdin bird there now, but is the whole thing different?

This is really the last pic I have of any of "us" from the trip... seriously, my mom wasted the film on the jungle cruise, I'm not even kidding you... and I'm sure it hasn't changed THAT much for me to post the pics!

Hope you've enjoyed them...
Later I will post my trips from the very early 90's with my best friend at the time and her mom. You will see me in mid-nerdness. I was a huge geek... as you can tell by my geek-in-training shots here...

- Sorry just had to edit - I am so happy I got to finally post pics and links!!!

WOW! Very cool!!

I don't recognize the Aztec looking building....It's not the Jungle Cruise. Mexico at Epcot maybe?

I love the old-school Dumbo!!

Thanks for the great pics!!!

The Aztec-looking building is the Mexico pavilion at Epcot. Some of the others you couldn't identify look they are from Epcot as well. My guess is that the one with the mosaics in the background is at the Land. I'm not sure where the fountain is located, but I'm pretty sure that is at Epcot.

As far as the Tiki Birds it begins the same way, but then it is interrupted by Iago and Zazu. I don't really know what the old version was like, so I can't compare it, though I know that there are different songs.

Yep thats Mexico

That's the upside down waterfall outside of the Imagination Pavilion. Keep the old pix coming, I love them too.

I've seen my family in someone else's pic from our Disney Cruise in July

I wish I could see a pic of my family at Disneyland back in September 1983 - I have no pics at all (our disposable camera was left in the car and when we went out to get it, we found all our hubcaps were stolen off our car so we got distracted & forgot about the camera).

I also think it would be a great idea to see yourself in someone else's pictures

You know what is funny about your statement? Myself, DH, in-laws and a friend are planning a trip for December and are using a Yahoo group to do so. Every other day, I change out the main photo to be a random pic of some family at WDW I found online. It's quite humorous. So who knows? One of YOU might be on our Yahoo group one day.

The 2nd picture is from the very missed Mr Toad Ride

Oh how I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!!

 

[bulah1]

Oh how I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!!

This is a bit off topic...
But have you ever seen the Episode of the Brady Bunch where the go to an amusement park? Well the park they went to is Kings Island, which is in Ohio. My friends family was there when it was being taped and her brother was nosey and walke right across an area they were taping and he is in that episode. It is so funny becuase he has these plaid pants on and we all laugh at him about how he is dressed so dorky during his big moment of fame. He also looks exactly like his son does. It's like really seeing his son walk across the scene. They have it on tape and we will rewind it over and over sometimes and just keep watching it and laughing. We are such dorks!

Actually that is Mayan architecture
Steep pyramids that that only exists in Tikal (a Mayan city), however since this is the Mexican pavillion it might be representing the pyramid in Chichen Itza (the capital city of the Mayas)

Love the Brady Bunch and love that episode. They have all the Brady Bunch episodes on DVD now. You could get them the DVD for a gift. It is the final season box set.
