We are taking our son, DIL and granddaughter to WDW in April. I came up with an idea to try to capture photos of the present locations related to the ones of opening day and do composite post side by side examples. I obviously will not take every elephant on the jungle cruise nor would I have...

Jme, That is an improvement. I only have the Windows Live Photo option which I found to improve the pictures to a small degree. My son has some more sophisticated software and has agreed to work on improving some of these shots. I was please to get these old pics cleaned up and posted. The...

Thanks to all for the “Likes” and kind words. This is a project I have had in mind for a long time and finding this forum was the catalyst I needed to stop procrastinating and get busy. Now I may even send in my application to the procrastinators club.:devilish: Many years ago as a college...

Thank you for whatever your administrator duties include for providing the opportunity for me to accomplish this. Once the pictures were ready on my end posting them was a piece of cake.

We were surprised at the low number of guests on opening day. The Orlando TV news was reporting possible record crowds and traffic jams of monumental proportions. I have found that news media often report with the “Chicken Little” approach to stories to create sensationalism and a “stay tuned...

There was a great deal of advance planning for our wedding but the honeymoon plans were just booking a room at Daytona Beach. There was little mention of WDW on Ohio news media but what we did hear made us consider the option of attending. We found further info once in Daytona Beach. Before I...

You folks ARE good. We did go to Silver Springs on 9/30/1971. I do remember glass bottom boats. I used a whole roll of film taking pictures through the glass bottom. What I thought was less expensive slide film turned out to be prints. When the prints were developed I discovered a whole lot...

The fireplace got me into hot water. Becky woke up and told me that she was cold. She wanted to cuddle but I jokingly told her to lie next to the fire. WRONG thing to say; I found out she is not fond of foolishness when she is cold and sleepy. Lesson learned and filled away for a long time...

As we left Tomorrow Land behind us we hoped we could come back again when it was finished. The entry fountains were so beautiful. There was an announcement that the park would be closing at 6:00 P.M. We did a little shopping at the Emporium, took the monorail and got the tram to the parking...

These people don't look frightened. If anyone recognizes some of the guests feel free to shout out.:devilish: Becky needed a cool drink of water before the bucket ride. We had to take a round trip because the Tomorrow Land area was not open yet. A round trip on the buckets was...

Next stop is the Haunted Mansion. It was October but it was hot outside. The HM was the best way to cool off and we did it multiple times.

I think Becky was getting tired. Maybe a relaxing ride on the Mike Fink Keelboat will be just the thing we need to chill a little.

I have always loved the steel drums. It is a mesmerizing resonance that is like nothing else. See the map that Becky is holding? We still have it. I believe they were presenting them when we came into the park but not sure. I just know we still have it and it is posted...

The Swiss Family Robinson tree house is not a thrill ride by any means but the “Disney” attention to the smallest details is incredible.
