Who is the character with the orange head? And also, who was the grey bunny rabbit? Thumper?

Wow those are cool pictures. The Mad Hatter looks HORRIBLE (although I would like him better as a mask character than a face character like Gepetto or Smee). I have some cool pictures of my first trip to Disney (1986). I don't remember one thing from it though :lol:

That was the Florida Orange Bird! Total non-Disney character. He was always by the Sunshine Terrace next to the Tiki Room to invite guests to try fresh Florida orange juisce and stuff. I LOVED the Orange Bird when I was a kid!

And yes, I believe the grey rabbit is/was Thumper.

I kinda like the Dwarfs better in those pictures than I do now.

I believe that the Florida Orange Bird character was developed by Disney for the state of Florida. I have a couple of collectible items of it at home.

Hey. The Space Mountain out of this Would sign isn't old. Wasn't it changed a year ago?
