The Official 1971-1999 Picture Thread

[vonpluto]

This was my only trip to WDW as a child, with my parents and grandmother. It must have been about 1979. I'm not even sure where some of these were taken.

Spent many a fine evening at those tables enjoying a ice cream sundae from Donald's Dairy Dip!
:slurp:

Great thread idea. I love this shot. That camcorder might be even harder to explain to the kids than records or corded phones. "Yes dear, people would actually carry those around all day."

I went in 1990 with my friends (just graduated high school) in June. I will look to see if I can find old pictures.

I noticed that too! Apparently "no shirt, no shoes, no service" wasn't around back then!!

OMG it's like the 1990s threw up on her, hilarious!

:sohappy:

 

[ABigBrassBand]

Best thing I've seen in a while, hilarious. Cheers!

I'm not sure what I love more about this pic...the Ewok or the amazing fashion statement my godmother is making. :lookaroun

I'm enjoying the couple in the background. Gotta love their matching shorts lengths and the pre-Ashton Kutcher trucker hat. I believe he has a -pack as well. Long live the 90s!

You how the talk about fashion always comes back? Well there are some things I'm afraid will come back. :/

Pretty much. This photo encompasses much of what was wrong with 90s fashion. Day glo clothing, bike shorts on non-bikers, packs, big hair, men in short shorts, a lady with crazy printed clothing, a giant camcorder bag, and high top Reeboks. :dazzle:

As a side note, I'm pretty sure I had a dress just like that little girl was wearing. Oh how I loved ruffle dresses.

 

[EvilQueen-T]

Agreed!

we go every year and from what i've seen packs haven't disappeared. i hate them but they make sense when you're past the diaper bag/stroller/backpack stage yet don't want to carry a purse around all day. there's nothing like walking around wdw hands free (makes you feel like a kid again).

 

[EvilQueen-T]

I had that same mickey hat, only in maroon.

I LOVE the little girls in the matching polka dot dresses. My parents would do matching outfits when we were kids so now when my sister and I do our annual adult girls only trip each fall we wear matching shirts each day...only at disney can you be that much of a fashion no no right?

1991 WDW

Check out the flip down sunglasses attached to my glasses....:brick:

More like the guy with the red zebra shorts behind you! lol

 

[rodserling27]

There was a thread somewhere where someone had side-by-side photos of Cinderella Castle before and after "tree renovation." I think the first photo was 1992, the second one from 2010 or 2011...can someone put it here? I can't seem to find it!!!

 

[Expo_Seeker40]

Here you go. :wave:



1991

2011

I liked the plaza trees, but by the 90s they were becoming too big. Even with pruning the large branches ending at perfect cuts would have looked ridiculous. I appreciate the open plaza we have now, but it lacks *something*.

Err... trees?

Haha very true, other than the flip down shades I am dressed alright...the zebra stripes probably still haunt that kid to this very day.

Bingo. Ugh, it looks so ugly now.
