Screamscape posted a link to a new video of the Magic Kingdom from 1973. In the video you can see the Haunted Mansion and a Goofy with blinking eyes.

Well, I wouldn't say "blinking eyes", more "jiggly eyelids".

Ok this is awesome. I wish we could collect a bunch of vintage footage together.

That Goofy is way cooler than Todays Goofy

Nice. My parents went to MK for their Honeymoon in 1974 and just recently found a ton of footage of their trip. Pretty cool to see it back then compared to what I know it as today.

Are you kidding? it looks kinda creepy in my opinion. That might look good on minnie though

Nice. There is a ton of this footage available now. Worthy of note here is no Caribbean Plaza - the shot from the end of Mile Long Bar shows the dead end, Rivers of America drained for TSI construction, and the Skyway turn (plus a lack of foliage anywhere!)

This video was awesome! It was so cool to see what MK looked like back then. I was never on the sky way or 20,000 leagues so it was cool to see those two.

I often day dream of what Magic Kingdom used to be like, so it is so awesome to see footage of it.

Great video - reminds me of what EPCOT looked like before the trees grew in.

Nice videos. A good example why M&G's are under lockdown mode now. are Anybody catch Tweedle Dee (Dum) chase downn Goofy almost ready to some damage to him in the 76' footage about 4:31? What's up with that?

Man, the castle looked so much better back then.

I had no idea the characters basically just used to roam around. Weird!

It looked like he was just tapping him on the shoulder.
