Oh my goodness, Eastern Airlines! That's the airline we flew down to WDW on our first family trip. We couldn't believe how cheap the flights were but afterwards we found out that Eastern was in bankruptcy and we were on one of the last flights from that airport.

Here's the transportation page from my 1990 scrapbook. I guess those Eastern Airlines wings are a collectible now.

Eastern also gave out a Disney World box lunch for their children's meals. We were also greeted by a couple of characters at th airport when we landed.

I don't remember any Disney World lunchbox but we flew very early in the day both ways. And no characters at the airport 😥.

Eastern also sponsored a ride called "If You had Wings" which was a simple ride that advertised the airline and where went. It was located where Buzz Lightyear is in Tomorrowland. It was just as cheesy as the former ride in the Mexico pavilion. Main redeeming quality was that it was cool on a hot day.
