Vintage WDW Ticket Media & Memorabilia Pictures

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

My husband's grandmother had this gem hiding in her house - a 1968 Disneyland fold-out map. I had to stand on my kitchen chair to try and get the whole thing in the picture. We are pretty sure she has some more stuff lying around her house, and will find out tomorrow! (I did try to auto-fix these, but photobucket is still showing the original version!)

That is an amazing map, and quite valuable!

Did everyone read the names of the shops- Tobacco shop- never in 2010!!

Speaking of Tobacco shop. Here is a picture from my first trip to WDW in July 1977, Look closely to the left side of the picture, "Tobaccanist"

Remember the Disney Institute?!

I took two classes there. One was in cell painting and the other was a Mickey topiary.

What a fascinating thread. Thank you to all who have posted pictures on here!

Did anyone notice in the first post the warning legal drinking age was 18 or over? Does anyone know when it changed?

Well... Not Entirely.

The train cars that are in front of Pleasure Island (used to be ticket booths) are from the old Fort Wilderness train.

The following come from a booklet that was available at some point before WDW opened in 71... I don't own the book, it's not mine, I didn't scan it, I just found the pictures online and copied them... if it's a problem I'll take them down, but otherwise I wanted to share with fellow fans.

(only going to put a few per post... is that better than all of them?)

So... that's all.. Kinda interesting... Makes me wonder what the "preview center" was like, and where exactly it was.. and what sits there now!

 

[LittleFlounder]

staxia, thank you for posting that! I read most of it and its really interesting to read what "future" attractions and plans happened and which ones didn't.

"With the technical know-how of American industry and the creative imagination of the Disney organization, I'm confident we can build a living showcase that more people will talk about and come to look at more than any other area in the world." - Walt Disney

I also found the statement I've quoted above fascinating. I think its amazing that even before it opened, Walt could predict how popular and how much of a success WDW would become... and they were already calling it the "vacation kingdom of the world". wow.

wow!!

The "Preview Center" was located on Hotel Plaza Blvd. Its still there today and is occupied by the Amateur Athletics Union.

Here is a fairly recent pic followed by a pic from when it was the actual preview center.
