we actually pulled these out of the storage unit and put them up on the "big screen" the other night. It was a lot of fun for us to all look at them together and see how much things had changed. Our 9-year old DD was pretty confused and could not wrap her head around 20K Leagues or where exactly it was.

I miss that ride. Great photos. Seriously, I didn't mean to offend you. It was just a poorly placed joke on my part.

No worries. Was poorly placed on my end as well. On a side note, what did you use to convert your slides? I just got out of a major conversion project for my parents (Beta/VHS to DVD) and am moving on to the slides...and that project...is going to be massive.

Any thoughts?

It is an ION film 2SD http://www.amazon.com/FILM-35mm-Fil...e=UTF8&qid=1348444606&sr=8-1&keywords=ION+2SD that my wife got for me two years ago and I am just now getting off my butt to use it. It gets a little glitchy feeding slides but that may be due to the age of the slides themselves being warped from time and humidity. The process is like sorting M&M's...long drawn out and boring which is why I have not retouched them yet and now that I did that one carousel I realize I need to invest in some canned air and blow off the slides too. With any luck (and some crummy weather) I might get all 20+ carousels done this winter. Tedious at best but worth it to preserve our families memories.

Hrm...is the slide tray limited to 4 slides each as the picture indicated?

I was looking at one of these - http://www.amazon.com/Pacific-Image-PowerSlide-Scanner-5000dpi/dp/B0058ZOS2S

But that's a bit pricy for a one use object (though an important investment, I think). I have my parents slides, and my GPs slides to do, but I loved the fact I could load it with a tray and go away for a bit.

Also, what retouching, if any, are you planning to do? (this is turning into a private discussion, I'll end my queries here, we can move to another thread if you like)...

Thanks for posting these. I love pics from that era of WDW. It is the time in my life when I was hoping and begging my folks to take me there, but we never did make it.

Your picture is the same one that I posted a few days ago, but mirrored and not cleaned up yet.

have you considered transferring them to digital? i think its a great way to preserve these!

Yep, that is exactly what these are. I spent the afternoon scanning them into a SD card.
I found out all too late that they had dirt and hairs on them so I will have to go back and re-do them but I figured I might as well share anyway.

Finally getting around to converting my grandfathers slides to digital. I started with the tray of slides from our trip in August of 1977. I will be 41 next month and still enjoy it just as much today as I did back then. Not only is it a trip back in time but astounding that this was peak season of the time!!! Anyway, enjoy.

Not to worry I took no offense to your post, in fact it cleared up why there were Disney markings on the slide.

I do take offense to being accused of doctoring my picture with an effect by others though. There are around 150 slides in that album and I doubt I was able to do effects in all of those including inserting a chubby redahired version of myself from 30+ years ago.

Looked at your photobucket...at what hotel were the pictures taken?
