Old Disney Park photos

I vaguely remember the kiosk in the middle, but don't remember what their purpose was. Anyone remember?

I was going to ask that also, but assumed it was maybe a snack stand??.....

I have a dim memory from when my son was about 3 (he just turned 34 last week) of buying Welch's Grape Juice from a stand in that area, and maybe extra tickets from when WDW used ticket books for the rides. Of course, my memory may be a trifle faulty these days!

When I was 5 we went to WDW, and I am 40 now But I remember a ticket stand near Dumbo. But I think Dumbo has been moved since that rip. Not sure how far or from where though.

It looks like an old ticket booth to me. Though at that point it was probably an information booth that may have sold a few small things, like that kiosk that is now by Winnie the Pooh.

It appears that the kiosk is no longer in the same spot as the vintage photo that was posted on the previous page. On the vintage photo, the kiosk is next to the carousel, closer to IASW. It was probably moved at some point to make more walkway space. ??

According to this 1973 park map from Yesterland.com, there were two Information and Ticket booths in Fantasyland: one next to what is now The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh, and one in front of the Pinocchio Village Haus Restaurant (this booth has since been removed).

Love the old map!

Here are some more of the big headed characters in Epcot. It must have been 83 or 84.

Can you imagine seeing these costumes hanging in some warehouse somewhere on Disney property? Spooky! Also, wouldn't it be cool if Disney did a retro day and brought back some of the old costumes? We could even dress in retro rags!

It looks to me like that kiosk is the ticket booth where you would buy your extra "A" through "E" tickets. I remember when buying an "E" ticket would be $.80. You could also pick up a park map there.

Those little ticket booths were scattered throughout the park.

I know this isn't an old photo, but it's an old video (television commercial) for the contemporary resort that I found on youtube.

Disney World 1982 - I was three years old!

Me and the Castle

Me and my Mom and dad....If they only knew then how much this picture would mean to me now!

Bet no one knew 27 years later I would be standing here having wedding pictures taken.

Me and my Cousin and Snow White

My Aunt, Cousin and I with Winnie the Pooh!

We stayed off site and also visited Circus World and Sea World. Epcot was not yet open, the Ball was done though.

does anyone remember the in-room tv station that showed the Disney ad in the late 70's and early 80's? I remember the River Country portion ("It's the Kursplashinist, Kid Laughinist..." ) and the last line, the girl with the goofy high voice saying "I hope you are having a wonderful time at...Walt Disney World....Bye!"

Please tell me I am not the only one who remembers this? I must have watched it 100 times on each poly trip!
