I remembered that year from a movie standpoint since Toy Story came out along with 3rd Die Hard Movie came out.

God bless Bruce Willis. His illness is advancing . I saw him and Demi and his band perform at the opening of Planet Hollywood at WDW in the Disney Springs parking lot in 1994.

A solar eclipse will happen today (best viewing from California to some areas of Texas). Up here in the Northeast, it will be only about 20% visible. Anyway, the NASA link below has some charts (U.S. and South America) of when and where the viewing areas will occur. (Reminder, protect your eyes.)

Yep, they’ve been talkin’ about it for days here.
Sun isn’t up here yet, but, will probably only watch it on TV if it’s clear, as my retinas are still important to me…!!!!!

My parents got married in 75.

My parents watched Star Wars in the movie theater when it came out in 1977.

I did get this Star Wars items in the 80s as a kid from my parents:

My folks got married in 1960…!!!!!

It is supposed to be cloudy and some
Rain in my area today. So I’m glad viewing wasn’t supposed to be great for it in my area anyway.

Woof, I didn’t realize y’all were were that much younger than us, I graduated in ‘80 and Carolyn graduated in ‘81…old I am feeling…!!!!!

If it makes you feel any better I graduated from High School in 1966, just a few months before Walt passed.

So, mid-afternoon Friday we headed back to Disney Springs…!!!

Emmy and Audrey were havin’ some fun…!!!

What beautiful, charming young ladies. I'm sure you are having great fun with your granddaughters. I don't have to tell you how quickly they grow up. That little one with the foot up on the platform is just absolutely the cutest thing I have ever seen. And the smile on both of there faces. You are one lucky man my friend.

I'm also impressed over the probable expenditure that is involved with all those matching outfits. It's so nice that they can do that for the girls. In their short life I'm thinking that more money has been spent on clothing then the total I have spent in my 75 years on my own wardrobe. It's so great that they will have these years to remember later on and also remember those wonderful trips with Grandpa and the rest of the family.

P.S. This picture also shows that Disney no longer cares if thing go scratched up and weathered. I would think that they could find some paint someplace onsite to spruce up the base of a display that you know is going to be photographed thousands of times.

Took the train to Bath today and it's so nice.

I absolutely loved this but totally afraid it would break. It's from a small market.

I think Disney people would like the name

You literally don't need a map. You just need to say what time they were. Epcot is always at 9 (except for maybe sometimes in the holiday season). They show MK fireworks at a different time. Just check the time and you can tell. Other than NYE, Disney never shows Epcot and MK fireworks at the same time.

For the record, I only said it was more likely that you'd see Epcot fireworks; I didn't say it was impossible to see MK fireworks. Florida is flat as a pancake; you can see things from a great distance.

Also, I am the only one who's allowed to insult my father (well, Figgy's Shady Pines comments are acceptable). But other than that, only me.
