Thanks. I have that brochure at home somewhere. I have a whole bunch of stuff from 1971-1981. Maybe I'll find some time to scan some of it.

Fine dining at the Gulf Coast Room (in the Contemporary). Jackets required for men (and young boys! )

Flight of the Navigator ship on the Studios backlot tour (photo circa 1999):

While no more backlot tour, you can still see the ship after exiting lights motors action.

More fine dining. (My dad loved to eat well). This time, it is the Empress Room on the Empress Lilly, where Fulton's now resides. Before Victoria and Albert's, this was the top of the top when it came to food and service:

More fine dining. (Sensing a theme?) This time, it was the Top of the World where the California Grill now resides. It was a "mod" supper club with headline entertainment. (If acts from the Catskills and Las Vegas could be considered "headline". Jack Jones. Barbara Eden. Phyllis Diller. Steve and Edie. Folks like that.)

Found this pic too... The short-lived Discovery River Boats in Animal Kingdom - June 1999. Didn't go on them that trip and they were gone soon after!

The Diamond Horseshoe Review. We once got to sit in the balcony box that my brother called "The Abe Lincoln Seats":

Cranium Command in the Wonders of Life Pavilion. That was an awesome attraction.

The Frontierland Shootin' Gallery......when the rifles shot real lead!

So..I know I'm dating myself here..but I now would give anything to have seen either of those "headliners".I grew up with them..

I love this thread. It's making me nostalgic. I miss all of them.

Hand stamp for same day return

The smell of that "invisible ink" was the aroma of my childhood. When you smelled that on the back of your hand, you knew you were having a good day. There was nothing else like it.

The smell of that "invisible ink" was the aroma of my childhood. When you smelled that on the back of your hand, you knew you were having a good day. There was nothing else like it.

I remember that too. I also remember going back in the park and riding the dark rides and looking at our glow in the dark handstamps. There might have been some giggling with it.

I also have the sound of the manual doors of the monorail slamming as CM's walked down the line shutting them imprinted in my brain.
