It was always on the way to WDW from St. Pete. Though it was nothing compared to WDW, I always enjoyed Boardwalk and Baseball when I needed cheap carnival thrills.You were there secretly when I was a kid weren't you???
Heck yes I did

You bet I played on that playground...
In 1992 I played on that playground over 4 hours while my oldest sister was across the street being hired to work for Disney!:wave:
I always loved people watching from the lookout tower.

Disney Village playground? Played on it!
Toys Fantastique? Shopped there!
They had this really cool scrapbooking, stationery kind of store that was where the Lego store is now, and as a big sticker collector, I always racked up on some new puffies and scratch-and-sniffies there. The name of the shop totally escapes me right now. It was so much bigger and better than 3 R's was.
And OMG...Boardwalk and Baseball? TOTALLY went there and loved every minute of it! White satin jacket with the embroidered B&B logo? I rocked it. For years. Other random baseball merch because baseball was/still is my Dad's passion??? Have it and still love it!
Man o man...y'all really took me back! I love looking back like this.

I just showed my mom and she said that she couldn't even bribe me to leave that playground with Tootsie Roll Pops.:lookaroun
She also said that I spent 5 hours there the day my sister was hired, not 4...:lookaroun

DW and I spent many pleasant hours munching goodies from the Lite Bite/Lakeside Terrace, while DD disappeared into what we called "the Dead End":
1986
How many of the oldsters out there remember doing what this Dad is doing?
"Come on kids, we really have to go now!"
1986
Lite Bite to the left, Dead End just off center, now departed Pottery/Christmas Chalet to the right
1986
more to follow

I remember that playground... I also remember the Rio Grande train ride (still there!) being my first-ever Disney attraction back in 1994.
:sohappy:
I went on that...the Carousel too! They still play MSEP!

WOW oh WOW! I've never seen those pics before. I've never even seen that pic of the sign calling it Disney Village. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing!

If you are asking about the sandbox, it was on the Marina side of the Captains Tower/Pin Traders.
Which logo do you prefer?

I was only passing by the Carousel last August, but it's nice to know I wasn't going crazy when I thought I heard that tune. :lol:
