I had no problem with the glasses the first few times I rode. But last time, maybe I had a real "stretched out" pair and they fell off (my admittedly small head) like 3 times. I finally had to just hold them on. Maybe I'll bring my own strap next time.

While riding IASW one time, there was an older couple in the row in front of me. They had a 6-8 month old baby with them- I'm guessing that mommy and daddy took big sibling on a ride and grandma and grandpa took the baby on her first IASW ride. Grandpa took a zillion flash photos- but they...

Tons of great old photos in this thread- http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/1970s-walt-disney-world-photos.726652/

I agree that there has been a real erosion of manners, and unfortunately when you put rude and nasty out there you tend to get rude and nasty back which just makes things ruder and nastier. As far as the Disney busses go, it's not always bad manners, sometimes people are just oblivious...

Yep. Poly, 1974- Pink vinyl and green floral.

If they want to put in the Deluxe Resorts, make the bus service at those resorts measurably better. Dedicated, single resort routes. Do you know how many times I've been on the dreaded Swan-Dolphin-Yacht-Beach-Boardwalk bus from Animal Kingdom or DTD where an entire filled to the rafters bus...

That was fun to watch! My first visit was in September 1974- and as you can see from my profile pic Minnie looked exactly the same. I have a lot of pics over in the 70's picture thread, if anyone's interested.

Diamond Horseshoe Revue. It is a constant source of disappointment to me that this show no longer runs. It was always a highlight of our trips.

The shop at BC has some breakfast items - http://allears.net/menu/menu_bcmp.htm

The one that comes to mind is the $16.99 plastic insulated cup (the kind with a screw on top and plastic straw) that is decidedly lesser quality than the $2.99 one I bought at Christmas Tree Shops. But that one doesn't have the monorail, castle and tons of characters on it!

Nope.

The MK Welcome Show! I would love to welcome happy, excited people to the MK every morning. What a great way to start the day! A Safari driver seems fun, too!

I've posted this on the 70's pic thread, but here we are in 1974. Yep, that's me in the bell bottom floods. And that's my mom in her favorite sunglasses. That's my dad looking oh so thrilled. I love my mom, but I'm glad I didn't inherit her fashion sense (or lack thereof).

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going thru and reposting my pics that have disappeared - starting page 6. Hope you enjoy them!

Thanks for the help everybody. We were able to get our transportation pushed back an hour, so will we arrive closer to noon. Next time I will certainly remember to check in as early as possible!
