1977
I made my first trip in 1977. After taking a train, long ride, from Boston to Tampa, my mother renting a horrible Plymouth Hornet, vinyl seats, no A/C and driving the B Line Highway (I think it was called) with nothing but a die cast R2D2 to keep me busy, the MK WAS a paradise to me @ 7 years old.When my parents took us to WDW our first time in 1974, I remember driving our station wagon through what seemed like endless groves of orange trees to get there. That spectacle coupled with our day at the MK made Florida seem like paradise to a four year old boy from rural Kentucky.
Wow, only six strollers in a picture?1976 or 1977
Proven irrelevant...deleted.Wow, only six strollers in a picture?
Where is that picture, if not in the Magic Kingdom park?Since it's not in the park...that observation doesn't really mean anything. We also don't know the time of day it was taken or the time of year. But, yes, back in the 70's I don't believe that Disney even had strollers for rent. If they did they didn't have very many.
If you are referring to the Country Bear picture in the rain with the 6 strollers. Yes, there were strollers in 1977 that Disney rented. There is no way we could have packed the trunk of the car with that big stroller in there. Disney rented them for $2 a day. When you returned it, you received a dollar back. I think to park your car was 50 cents. I can go back look at my old tickets. Yes, I'm a pack rat. I don't think back then you ever saw anyone with their own stroller. Back then there was only the Magic Kingdom.Where is that picture, if not in the Magic Kingdom park?
My mistake...I couldn't see the picture really well and thought it was the Hoop Dee Doo Review building. Not doing well today.Where is that picture, if not in the Magic Kingdom park?
Ahhh. I see. I wasn't trying to call you out or anything, just didn't know if the Jamboree may have run from a location similar to that of Pioneer Hall like the Hoop Dee Doo does still.My mistake...I couldn't see the picture really well and thought it was the Hop Dee Doo Review building.

If you comment was directed at me, Minnmouse76, I have those moments too. Too many years back to remember. I have senior moments. HA! HA!My mistake...I couldn't see the picture really well and thought it was the Hoop Dee Doo Review building. Not doing well today.
Tell me about it. This wasn't a senior moment (although it could have been) I just quickly glanced at the picture and for some reason Hoop Dee Doo jumped into my brain.If you comment was directed at me, Minnmouse76, I have those moments too.

Going to the Hoop Dee Doo this year. I haven't been since 1981. Can't wait. I will have to take a picture of the building. I was looking at picture of River Country. We only went once and I don't remember it. The only thing I remember is being so cold because it was early March and going to get in the heated pool.Tell me about it.

My parents have some photos from '79 you might like;
I have others but I decided to focus on the photos of things that are no longer there.
I miss the skyway.
