Here's an oldie, featuring the Skyway, Small World (with old entry), Pan with a simple sign and the Troubadour Tavern (where the Pan FP is now)!

These pictures are actually pre-80's. Try 1977!......PS Sorry, I didn't see that this was an 80's thread...Enjoy the pics anyway

"Look Peter...no line!" Something you don't see anymore...

The Mickey Mouse Revue-check out the fashion, especially the men in hats

The photograph taken outside of the Mickey Mouse Revue does not have a single child in it. I find that a bit weird. :dazzle:

there IS an empty stroller. even weirder- was something eating all the children? space aliens abducting them?

do love this set of pics, real insight into the time....love not only the hats on the guys, but they're all in suit coats (except for that guy in the leisure suit- never thought i'd type those words again!), and the dresses and "sturdy" high heels on the ladies.

The people in front of the Mickey Mouse Revue did you notice how dressed up they are and they all look middle age - no real young people. Maybe it was a tour group.

But WDW wasn't for children. In fact, I find it weird to see so many children there today.
Now that people nowadays insist on bringing even the youngest of the young to Disney, I am happy they are going to build a Fantasyland expansion that at last makes FL a fun place for the really young. I am not that happy about Disney having had to place a gazillion spinners all over the MK just to give all those small children something to actually do at Disney.

If you had wings didn't have animatronics. Just screens.
