I was just reading a brochure from 1972 from Gulf Oil on WDW. It was really interesting, especially the prices of food and lodging back then. Prices for food were: hot dogs $.45, soft drinks $.15 and $.25, Hamburger plate at the Crystal Palace $1.75, prime rib dinner at King Stefan's was $4.50, with juinor size being $2.25. Lodging at the Contemporary and the Polynesian were from $29 to $44.
In the back of the brochure, there is a description of services offered at the Gulf Oil Hospitality house (now the camera shop on main st). It says: "Just across from City Hall, on the town square in the Magic Kingdom, you'll find a Victorian, yellow brick building. It's Gulf Hospitality Center. At the desk you'll find attractive young girls to answer your questions about the best routes home........" .
Could you imagine if they tried to print that these days? Those were definately simpler times then.
