Old photos from WDW

[lborne]

HI,

I've asked this once before but it was a long time ago, so I'll try again.

My only trip to MK when I was a kid was around 1978-79. We were there only one day, and my parents took only 2 photos the entire time. Neither has me in it, btw.
Then during my college years, I worked Main Street Ops in the summer of '91. Not realizing how great a job I had until after it was over, I never brought a camera with me to work. Now, I am searching for old photos of the MK.

Primarily, anything from the 1977-80 time frame, and anything from 1991. I've already seen all the ones from disneypix.com, but can't seem to find any others.

I'm also looking for any photos of the "bomb shelter", (the Main Street Ops break / meeting room located under the train station - but not underground). Or photos from the lobby of the Disney Story before it was closed. And finally, of course, any photos backstage where the Main Street cars were kept or the lunch room.

Thanks in advance.

DonickCo,

Those are Fantastic. Did you really take those. They look like the slides that you can buy, (used to be able to buy), at the MK gift shops.

Thanks

wow, great pics. one question.................... i dont remember those flumes and the simulated river tube ride when we went to river country a lot as kids in the early 80's. i was there for the first time in the late 70's and there for the opening of epcot in 82. we used to go a bunch. just dont remember them.

are they still in the current river counrty (even though it is closed)?

DonickCo!!

Beautiful!

Now I remember all the stuff they yanked from PoC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, wow. This is great!

 

[aimster]

WOW!

Now THAT was a trip down memory lane!

I totally don't remember characters from The Aristocats (one of my all-time fave Disney films) in the park but man I wish they were still there! I would LOVE to get a pic with Scat Cat!

And the Mickey Mouse Revue! I loved that show but the Three Caballaros part scared me when I was a kid (Panchito firing the pistols). I'll never forget the first time I saw that show too... it was the first time I saw Mickey in the park and at the end when the pedastal he was on started lowering back down, the theatre was dead quiet and 3 or year old me (this was in 1977 or 1978) yelled "MICKEY! MICKEY! DON'T GO!" The whole audience justed DIED laughing! My parents were SO embarrassed.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ah! This thread has inspired me to add a few of my old pictures to my photo album. Unfortunately they're not what you are looking for, though some of you anti-Legacy people might appreciate the shot of Spaceship Earth with the old fountain still intact:

I wish they never had moved Mickey's Musical Review . That was one of my favorites as a kid.

Thanks for the pictures. It was a nice walk down memory lane. I had totally forgotten how the entrance to Tomorrowland has changed. And the pic of the pirate chasing the woman....... Memories
