Blast from the Past

Postby ChrisC » Wed Feb 24, 2021 2:26 pm

I went rummaging through some drawers at my parent’s house and found some good stuff...including this little beauty. I’ll try to post more as I find them!

Do you have any old pamphlets/maps/guides from past trips that you kept as a memento?

If anyone was wondering what was going on this month 20 years ago at Fort Wilderness, well here you go!

More from Ft. Wilderness, this time from 1985! The year I was born and probably from my second trip, lol. Camp site registration (look at that rate!), and welcome letter from the manager.

I love it! We used to stay at Fort Wilderness around the late 80s also.

I found a hand-stamped multi-day park pass from 1992 (?); I remember you could save the passes and either give them to friends who were going if you had unused days. I have to photograph it when I visit my folks.

This is a Hollywood Studios map from 2011, which was my first trip to WDW! Back when they had Lights Motors Action, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids playground, and the Backstage Tour, all of which I very faintly remember from that trip

I really like this vintage stuff, especially the Fort Wilderness stuff and the map from the early 1980's.

Look what I found! The Epcot brochure has a1983 copyright, this was before the Morocco and Norway pavilions were built.
At this time United Kingdom had a seasonal "Renaissance Food Festival": There was "El Rio del Tiempo" which was described as " Sail the "River of Time" through the Mexico of yesterday and today"
It was so neat to go back through this and remember the old attractions and see the original "spires" in front of Spaceship Earth (the new ones are very similar)
Hope you enjoy! I also found 2 brochures from the Kennedy space Center around the same time. Let me know if you would like me to post pictures of those as well.

Nope. Not MIB? Clues hiding in plain sight...but not in the pictures! :D
