Old Disney Pictures! About This Page:

When we decided to go back in 1999, I called my Mom and asked her to pull our old family vacation pictures out of WDW from 1974 & 1976. Now this is the woman who kept all the hotel receipts and the WDW ride coupons!! Anyway, I found the one with me and my sister in front of a waterfall at the Poly. Well, I found the same area and took one of my son sitting on the same bench, 23 years later!!
It was so amazing to see that nothing much had changed in the parks. I love old pictures.

You ought to talk his family into sending a copy to Disney magazine. I LOVE looking at the old pictures people send in. We'd have a celebrity in our midst
PS Let us know if you do and I'll be looking for him

I haven't seen them in years, but I love looking at our old trip pictures. Like others, my father was into slides. I think it's really an extra special treat to have them on slides. When our family does all get together, we sometimes pull out the ol' projector, pop some popcorn and re-live our trips as kids with our kids! It's great fun and seems much more like an "event" when you can cast those slide images on a wall and make them life size.

If you like old pics of WDW, try this site:

DisneyPix Disney Timeline


The timeline is pretty cool, then you can click on each park in the header to go to the pics.

That was a really cool site. The pictures from my boyfriend's first trip were from 1986 and the characters looked different then. There were pictures of Mickey and Donald from DL's grand opening (I think) in Disney Magazine. And those characters looked different!

This past spring, I found my in-laws slides and projectors. Among the wonderful slides of my dh when he was a tiny baby(1964) were pictures of WDW from Dec. 1971!!!

The fashions--oh lordy, what the heck were they thinkin??

I have my old pics from when WDW was only 1 year old!! It is so funny to see those old costumes the characters wore back then! And seeing Mickey's "old face" (which was later updated to look friendlier).. And not to mention seeing some pictures of the outsides of some of the old (but not forgotten) attractions. I love looking at Disney "blast from the past" pics!

My family has done the same thing the past couple of trips for myself and the older of my two brothers. We put them side-by-side in photo albums. Mine is a shot with Minnie at a character breakfast, at age 5 and again at 18. His is a shot on Main Street in a poncho and a Donald Duck hat, age 3 or 4 and again at 18. This upcoming summer it's my youngest brother's turn: His picture is standing with the truck outside of Indiana Jones at MGM with a pith helmet & a wooden rifle! The pictures are too cute!

When we went last September, DH took my picture in front of the Cinderella Fountain in MK, and then DD. When we got home and went to my parents house, who went with us, to show pictures. My mother saw that picture at the fountain, and said hold on- she went and got an old album from our trip back when I was 7 - there I was same place sitting on the fountain - pretty much identical pictures! Wow- then to compare DD's picture to mine when I was 7 was incredible!
We got talking about all our past trips to WDW and my mother then brought out an old picture of hers- Grad Night at Disneyland back when she was a senior in High School! It was so neat to go over all those old pictures.

Another reason to love Disney - it bridges the generation gap! How special that must have been!!

I was thinking the other day of our old pictures, the slides from '72 and I'm almost certain there's a pic of us three girls with my mom in the front of MK, near the Mickey Head of flowers (if that makes sense? LOL). I was thinking that I should take a pic of me and my girls there! *snif*
