My first post (I was searching on 70's photos of WDW). Sorry for the poor quality of the images, but I was a 14 year old kid with a Kodak Handle camera in 1976 taking these. I grabbed the better of the shots and did my best at post-cleanup of the scans. I don't have the negatives, so these are scans of my original shots from '77.

I don't know anyone in these photos (maybe you'll see yourselves?). ;)

I had used the "insert/edit image" option, then pasted in the entire BB code...but, it just showed me the broken link and the working link(non image). Oh, well...thanks! :)

PS - I cleaned up my original entry, if you want to remove your edited post with my repeats.

You have to remember that we were terribly mean and cruel parents...we made our kids flex the occasional muscle and walk.;)

Missing pictures is the worst thing about old or long running threads. All the pictures Are great it's cool to see how so many things have remained the same but others have changed so much. The attention to detail was great back then but I guess it was a trade off for all the new things that came along later.

I'm going to have to look for some slides we took back in 1978 on our first trip. The next one wouldn't happen until 1996. In 1978 though, film and processing was expensive and we were young, broke and had no idea of what we doing or should be looking at when we were there, so I love these old pics too.

lol...as a wdw visitor since i was 5 in 1972 i will say a little for the stroller users of today in that walking at only a single park when you don't have 60+ minute ride wait times was a little easier back then compared to covering 4 parks and standing long wait times like we do today. i look at your pic and remember my last trip in April when it was wall to wall people in this same area...so different now (sigh).

To some degree I agree, but it also carried into the 80's and the crowds were fairly large back then and the lines were reasonably long, but long none the less. With two parks, it still brought forth a huge amount of walking over a few days. A mile is a mile no matter what park or parks it is in.:)
