I was looking for something tonite (ok, it was my college yearbook) in a box of old books tonite and I totally surprised myself when I unearthed my Birnbaums Official Guide to Walt Disney World...FROM 1985!! :eek:

It has a shiney red cover, with a photo of Mr Birnbaum himself posing with the mouse! And in bright yellow letters it says "INCLUDES EPCOT CENTER".

I looked thru it..MK, Epcot, and River Country. I must have taken the guide with me on my vacation, because I had notes in there "Got stuck" "skipped" "ate here" and so on :lol:

Downtown Disney was the Walt Disney World Village, and there were NO CHARACTER MEALS! Can you imagine? :eek:

DisneyWorld sure has changed for the better since 1985! :sohappy:

Wow! That's pretty kool! I was going through stuff and came across old guide maps for the parks! It's neat to look at them! I bet the book is really neat to read.

It's really hard to find a place that serves a good bowl of grits up here in Albany. There used to be an old diner that did 'em up good, but the new chef can't seem to get it right.... :mad:

hey, y'all (with the apostrophe properly placed :)), I work at a place that offers grits and okra, as well as turnip greens, black-eyed peas, and fried chicken gizzards.

But I'm a bad Southerner...I'd rather eat Asian food.
