We used to go there for breakfast. Wasn't it a character meal? I have pictures of me and my younger sister (bawling her eyes out) there with Pluto who was trying to eating our eggs!

Wow-----I feel totally old now. I do remember ALL but one.I lived in Fl untill 2 years ago ,so never flew to Disney so dont know about characters greeting there.
I do remember Eastern at IYHW. I was small and my Uncle was a Pilot for Eastern. My parents used to tell me Uncle was the OWNER of Eastern and when I would go there I would tell the people who worked there about that.:D

I do also remember TICKETS.... E tickets so forth...
I have to this day an old pack that my Grandparents used when we went around 1976. They have it still in a Memory trunk.

I remember wearing Bell bottoms the "first" time they were popular to WDW.

Yes. I remember all of those except the france boutique. You reminded me of another one. Remember when you could make WS dinner reservations at the little information kiosks in epcot where a live person would talk to you from a tv monitor? That was really hi-tech. Thanks for the swan boat videos. There are also vids of tomorrowland and adventureland veranda on that page.

Yes to all.I remember the 2ND floor of France selling painting and artwork.Used tol ove that shop.

And I do remember the GOD AWFUL Daredevil Circus---right up front.

Anyone remember in Communicore when it first opened that there was a showcase featuring video technology and had a CM sitting in a chair up on a second story platform and you got to talk to him via video cam...Sounds cheesy but this was 1982-1984

First time I encountered that I was about 13ish -now 36 and parents went to make dinner reservations for Mexico.I didnt know the girl could see me too and I was making stupid faces like crossing my eyes and sticking out my tongue....Then she said " If I dont stop it my face will get stuck like that"

My parents were laughing soooo hard.

Ok what about....

The roller skating rink at PI.

No mustaches for male CMS at all.

The Visitor Welcome Center in Ocala.

The late 80s had a yearly Marketing promo every day they gave away a new car...Think is was Oldsmobiles.
