A long, long time ago, in WI. a far, far, away state my story begins.

My name is Len, I am a Retired Executive Chef. My DW is Diane, works in the manufacturing of Natural Supplements. Our DS, Ryan is in his 3rd yr. of College.:scared1: DW and I are vets of WDW from 1988 honeymoon.:cloud9: DS not until 1998.

Now for the good stuff, Here are some of the 1st transportation tickets form 1990.:rotfl: You had to show them before you got on the busses to go anywhere.

Here are some pics of the Circus at EPCOT, Elephants, Jugglers, and High Wire motorcycle acrobats. The motorcycle traveled to the top of Spaceship Earth forward and returned backwards,:scared1: sorry that I don't have any pics of them at the top of the Globe. :eek:This was from 1988 - 1993 that I recall.

Now we skip over to the Magic Kingdom for a ride not many will remember. These piocs are from the Sky Tram that went from one side to the other.:scared1: If you look close at the water pics, you can see submarines that were part of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.:woohoo: The subs had an odor of diesel, great ride, nice and cool and under water.

I don't have many pics of that time, some got lost, others got damaged. :sad1:It's great to go back and see how it was. Notice that the parks are not very busy compared to now.

Time to start planning the next visit. This will be with my DD and DSIL, and 3 grand kids. :scared1: First timers, 15, 16, and 6 what a trip this is gonna be.

Time to go. See you Soon.

Just stumbled upon your post and LOVE the old photos!! I remember a lot of these things - 20,000 Leagues, the sky ride, low crowds - and prices...ticket books. You conjured up some really great memories for me! Thanks! :goodvibes
