This vintage 8mm film, produced by Walt Disney Productions, was used to promote the new Florida theme park. Many of Disney’s extinct attractions are featured in this film such as, The Swan Boats, The Mickey Mouse Revue, and 20000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Sorry trip’s canceled.

and you weren’t bumping into a food cart or tacky merchandise wagon every 20 yards either…wonder if Walt would even recognize the place (ok I know he died before it was open…but he signed off on the plans)

That is SO TRUE! Food carts selling overpriced spring water! Walt wouldn’t recognize the place. I can imagine he would be speechless! LOL!

Why even buy single entry tickets at all?

Left by Bigblikesc50 on February 10th, 2009
I think Disney as a whole is better ,iam just talking about Disney World park . It seems not as good to me.

I honestly couldnt say, because the first year i went was in 1997, and i went again in 2005, 2006, and 2007 and as you can tell we go a lot because we thought the parks improved but I do see your point.

Wow. Interesting to see what’s still there and what’s not. The sky around it looked so empty without all those ‘mountains’ sticking up. At first I was like “since when did the Speedway cars go by the Contemporary?” Then I realized Space Mountain wasnt there yet! There must have been a clear view straight to the Contemporary.

Its just that Disneyworld is so hyped up with promotions and you never hear anything about Disneyland its like they forget it still exists.I am so looking forawrd to going there for the holidays.i have a video of what they do there during the holidays and I am really looking forward to experiencing it for myself
Left by faithandtimfan on April 14th, 2009

Well to what I have experienced (being to Disneyland five times and DisneyWorld four) is that Disney World is more of tourist destatnation while DIsneyland is more locals still with many tourists.

I am not sure where you live, but we live in AZ and they push Disneyland promo’s ALL the time. We never hear about Disney World here. I think it is all related to demographics/states and which park is closer to the particular areas.
Left by LCDLGAZ on May 31st, 2009
They probably push WDW in the eastern states and DLR in the western states because of geographic location they are more likely to go to the one closer

This is brilliant – thanks for posting. My grandparents went in 1972 about 6 months after it opened and I have their original brochure. We got back from there last week. Great to see how all the trees have grown – much greener now but would like the lack of crowds from back then!

I went to Disneyland in Christmas time a couple years ago. The busiest week of the year for them. It was horrible. You’ll regret it. If you do go prepare to stand for a couple hours for each ride. and Dont even bother to get food there. About an hour and a half wait w/ no place to sit.
