The thing is, in 1971 can you make more than a day at Magic Kingdom? I suspect there wasn't too many people staying an entire week at Fort Wilderness or Poly or the Contemporary, was there? I guess that would be the biggest knock.
I'm sensing a theme here. One that was extinguished long ago.Heck ya! I could light up a cigarette and walk down Main Street. Then marvel at the ingenuity of the treehouse. Then grab a seat for the Tiki Room and light up another cigarette.
Yup --up in smokeI'm sensing a theme here. One that was extinguished long ago.

It was toyed with going even further and making it an entire lifestyle complete with on site housing. Walt died tho, and that was that.The whole idea of WDW wasn't a theme park experience, it was a resort experience. We went as a family from the 70s and 80s and it was a couple days at the Park, parents would golf for a day or two, we would have days at the pool, rent a boat, head over to the village for shopping, catch the Hoop de Doo, Luau, etc...Parents would take a date night at the Top of the World.
The theme park was the wienie to get a family there to do the other things. The MK was something you did because it was there, not because it was the only reason you went.

I just want horizons!It was amazing. An entire park built on the concept of man's creativity, exploration, progress, science, and celebration of the cultures around the world. Now we get Nemo and a lonely manatee.

No i got 2002 epcot as my first visit. Which gave me the end of Seabase alpha... ( i miss the hydrolators) and lkets not talk about imagination, the empty dome, and a giant pad where horizons used to beCan I interest you in a closed Wonders of Life, run down Imagination, and a deserted Sea Base Alpha?
Generally in the 70's MK was a one day see it all, Honeymoon in 77 we spent 2 nights at the Contemporary and spent 2 1/2 days doing MK at a very leisurely pace it was great. Contemporary had nighttime entertainment with stars of the day. You could swim in the lake
Yarp.
Yes, it was wonderful. We didn't feel pressed for time. We stayed a day at the beach, Goofy was waterskiing. The characters would walk up to you and joke around. There was a lot to do. You could meander more and really appreciate the work that went into making the park.The whole idea of WDW wasn't a theme park experience, it was a resort experience.
