Everybody was in line for the "E" ticket rides like Country Bears, Hall of Presidents and Small World.

Evidently I am too limited to get the directions for uploading pics.... Move along, nothing to see here...

1981 picture from the Skyway

I know it isn't 1970's but close enough.

These are beautiful!


I hope we invent a time machine soon, I really want to visit Magic Kingdom in the 70's! I'd love to see everyone dress up nicely to go to MK. :sohappy:

Love seeing how the parks have changed over the years. Need to do a late 80's thread.

Great thread with some great pictures. It's strange but I started going in the later 70's and I have memories of it in my head. However when you think back you forget the difference in fashion, looking back you can't imagine yourself not finding it odd then but you didn't.

Uh-oh, looks like all the strollers were hiding near SW. And a wheelchair for good measure.

Guest back then would dress up for a day at MK. Now half the guests look as if they just rolled out of bed.

Exactly what I though when I saw these pictures. If you take a look at pictures from DL from the 50ies and 60ies people even wore suits and ties. I have to admit that would be a little too hot in Florida climate but I really think that we all lost a lot of style compared to these people.

I have some pictures from my trip in 1984 but I have to scan them first. Perhaps tomorrow.

Does anyone remember the Mile Long Bar when you came out of the Country Bears? I think they only served Pepsi and chips.

What year was the canoe paddling? I never did see that, but then we missed the swan boats, too.

My folks went opening year, and started taking my brother and I when we were small, we still go every year for a week. They just hit their 40th Anniversary, so when we go in December it will be special in that Disney will have just passed it's 40th Anniversary.

This was in 1983. We plan to do the same photo this year, and this time I'll wear the Pirate gear!

Davy Crockett's Explorer Canoes debuted in Frontierland on opening day at Walt Disney World. A C ticket was required for guests to board the 35-foot (11 m) long canoes from a dock located to the north of the Tom Sawyer Island raft launch and travel along the same path as other watercraft on the Rivers of America. Walt Disney World permanently closed the attraction in 1994.

Thanks for the information. Most of the time we went in the fall and maybe they weren't running.
