As I have posted here before, I lost my dad last year to a sudden illness. I will miss him forever.
This weekend, I was given three big boxes of photo albums and various memorabilia from my dad's life by my step-mom. She had been going through all of dad's things, and kept all of this for me. I was beside myself to receive it all!
Here's the good part---
I remembered a photo album-one of those kinds with the peel-back plastic pages-- that had pictures of a visit to Fort Wilderness the year it opened. I also thought there were some leftover tickets with the pictures.
So today, while looking through all of the happy memories, I found that very photo album and the tickets!! There is even a receipt for our stay at Fort Wilderness. The price my dad paid per night in June of 1972 was $10.58 + tax of $0.42. We only stayed 3 nights then, though it seemed much longer in my memory.
I have pictures of the boat to the MK, A & B ride tickets, and the ticket book which states the price for a Junior (I was 13 at the time) as $6.95. The adult ticket is priced at $7.50. This was for 2 admissions, and 14 "adventures" in the Magic Kingdom. I even have the guest IDs we were given for the Fort!! And the vehicle ID for the Fort too!!
After supper, I will try to scan a few of these to share. I just had to post my happiness at finding these treasures!
