I'm glad to see this thread alive again!

These are all fabulous. I just spent my morning looking through them. I wasn't around in the 70s, but clearly I must have missed some fabulous fashion statements, less crowded parks and some amazing attractions

I miss the days of no clutter and South American tour groups!

Those tour groups can be very rude at times... but that is from my experiences. I agree with the clutter also. You cant walk up main street now without having to dodge something. But I still love it

I wasn't even born yet but Love went in 1972 with his family.

i wish i'd have been alive in the 70's. the clothes are awesome!

I don't know about awesome clothes, but the times were great. I am a 70's/80's kid. Wouldn't change it for the world. The only thing cooler would to have been a 60's kid. I have two words for you: no technology - and we didn't know any better so we didn't care.

December 1972

Found our box of slides from our December ‘72 trip. Most of the slides are poor quality, very dark once scanned. These were a couple that turned out ok. Certainly nothing as good as the quality of some of the others on this thread.

I am rockin’ those red knee highs and shoes!


Mom was classic for cutting our heads off in photos!

Awww, you look so cute and stylish!

The quality of the photo is irrelevant compared to the memories attached to it

The more that I look at these photos, the more that I am ready to go back... Even if they are over 30 years old!

I miss the skyway.

I do too. I really enjoyed the skyway. I miss being able to walk up to the castle make reservations for lunch the same day. Too much planning has to go into Disney these days. Started going at a young 26 and still going at an old 62. HA! HA! Maybe that is why so many scooter people. The young people of the 70's are now the old people in 2013 and we still love Disney.

I love the picture above of Chip... I had forgotten how much they've actually improved the character costumes over time. That "hood" at the back looks like a cape... it looks horrible! LOL

Disturbingly enough, Baloo still has one, as does Louie. There may be others I'm not remembering.

I do see in some pics those big cameras carrying on their shoulder..

This might be a stupid question but what was Discovery Island?

It was an island across from Fort Wilderness that you took a boat to and walked around. You got see to see different animals and birds. There was a snack stand.

This might be a stupid question but what was Discovery Island?

Think miniature Animal Kingdom. There were so many people that were convinced that the animals on Discovery Island were AA's.

Just like all those AA's at Animal Kingdom?
