AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 More treasures! The River Country one is, indeed, the pinnacle of that batch. But, I really liked the shots from the Contemporary roof too. The islands in Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon looked better when they weren't overgrown. TCD I agree about the islands. That's some good stuff, right there. Ooh!! Thanks Mo. I think you will like the old parade pics......they are from several trips so there is a variety.Love all these old photos! I loved the backlot tour...my favorite the Golden Girls House. To bad they got rid of the tour. I haven't seen the Living Seas with Nemo. I remember it the same as your pictures. Is it all Nemo theming now? No more scuba guy in the tube? I didn't like riding (or walking?) thru that tunnel surrounded by all those fish and sharks. Always scared the crap out of me. michele It's all Nemo all the time now. There is a small aquarium area that is non-Nemo related.I probably haven't been back to Typhoon Lagoon since those pictures.Ahhh... River Country. We are never there during a real hot period....and when we have been, we have been satisfied with the pools at the Fort, CR, and Poly. We need to checkout the WL pool and the Big Ole Blue Pool still though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 My favorite part of old Fort photos is seeing the old tow vehicles. I really love the GMC van you posted! But the pics of this Chevy are the most intriguing. At first, I wondered how your Dad got the trailer in the site front first so that the door was on the opposite side. And how he managed the hookups with the trailer positioned this way. But then it dawned on me that you simply reversed the slide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TN22.....Brady 22 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Fort: Wow don't remember campers of that era having slide outs. Love these old pics......My first trip to WDW was 2001 so I have no idea what was there, this is certainly filling in some gaps from those stories I have heard about RC and EPCOT.

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 And now I present for your viewing pleasure........... https://youtu.be/RSny6D1LaII Parade-a-palooza!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed those. The red, white, and blue floats were pretty awesome. I have enough pics for 2-3 Magic Kingdom updates and then I will need to do some more work with the remaining three slide reels. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is the vehicle of the family we stayed with a few times at Disney. We were probably across the way. If you recall we had an old tan Suburban and then a Silver and Blue GMC van. There were a few loose slides because one of the reels partially melted years ago on a projector that was a bit too hot. The slides were undamaged and I likely did reverse a few. :)Wow don't remember campers of that era having slide outs. Love these old pics......My first trip to WDW was 2001 so I have no idea what was there, this is certainly filling in some gaps from those stories I have heard about RC and EPCOT. Maybe it was a true slideout like bunk ends on a PUP........like it is moved with manpower instead of battery power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They might have been a rental unit as back then slide outs were actually called tip outs and had to be manually set up, not saying people did not travel with them but most were set up in a seasonal site.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ooh ooh!! Is that a Pinnochio float?? If it is, could that be the Blue Fairy?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you are right. Now go treat yourself to an ooey gooey MSB cinnamon roll. DaveInTN 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 And now for some additional Old School Magic Kingdom. What could be more old school than the race cars? Those have been gone for a long time..........or not: If you have read this report from the beginning, you know about the old stage skits they use to do at a place called Fantasy Faire, which I believe is now a gift shop. Here comes another of those shows: I remember loving those shows when I was a youngling. Random pic: Now, I have a real treat to share; and know Dave unfortunately it is not an ooey gooey MSB cinnamon roll. It is actually not pood forn at all. It is eye candy for those who love old WDW stuff though. I had forgotten about these pics but once I saw them it all came back to me. I remember seeing these slides when I was a kid. I have to admit that I don't remember seeing this in person, although I remember riding the skyway numerous times. I loved the skyway. I wish it were still there. It was a great view from up there. Anyway, check these few pics out: That is 20,000 Leagues drained of all of its water! I was thinking after seeing these slides and wondering if this could actually been a reason they got rid of the skyway. This is kind of like looking behind the great wizard's curtain for those riding the skyway. All of those kids who remember riding the skyway and seeing that would be ruined for the 20,0000 Leagues ride after that maybe? I thought those pics were pretty sweet. I hope you liked them. Moving on, here is a pic from Minnie's birthday show at Mickey's Starland: Outside the MK and Main Street: More MK coming up soon. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
