WDW Article from Modern Living Magazine Oct 18, 1971

THat was an interesting article!! A nice read!
 
On opening day, employees costumed as Mickey and good friend Donald Duck were on hand for 45 minutes of every hour to greet arrivals at Magic Kingdom. The crowds were disappointingly small. In part frightened off by predictions of mobs, only about 10,000 showed up (compared with an expected 30,000). First-day visitors were enthusiastic: "Oh, it just makes you want to cry," burbled Beatrice Agnew, 60, "it's all so happy here." Said Brad Griffis. 8, whose family of five spent $45.99 that day: "It's the best day of my life." The only untoward incident took place when a somewhat confused woman sought free admission because, she told police, "I am Cinderella." The Disney cops, primed for any emergency, lured her away by telling her that their police car was a pumpkin.

Laughed out loud (honestly) about the pumpkin deal too. What a great article; thanks so much for sharing. Prices have changed a lot, but the pixie dust definitely hasn't!!
