Photo Flashback! Mickey, My how you've changed!

Just a few days ago we received SLIDES from Mom's Aunt who lives in Gainesville, Florida.  She had gathered up several slides from 1973 and sent them to us.   Never let it be said we let some good pictures go to waste.  All the slides will make their way here eventually.  The first one I wanted to share was Mickey and Minnie from 1973.  Mickey, My, how you've changed!

Amy, Tink, Minnie with the Big Cheese

Above from May 2013, Amy, Tink, and Minnie visited with Mickey Mouse at The Magic Kingdom. 

Below from March 1973 is Mickey and Minnie.  Just a little different, don't you think?  This photo was taken near the Tomorrowland Speedway and is part of several slides taken of a parade.  My wife was just amazed at the LACK of people watching the parade.  In the background you can see one of the original attractions in the Magic Kingdom, the Skyway to Tomorrowland (or Skyway to Fantasyland depending on which direction you were traveling).

Thank you! to Earline Webb for sharing this and other slides with us.

Photo Flashback! Main Street USA - 1979

Main Street USA - May 1979

Cinderella Castle - May 1979

Main Street USA - May 1979

These are two pictures I took in May 1979 of Main Street USA.  The first one is facing Cinderella Castle and the second is looking back down Main Street USA towards the Train Station.  I think you'd have to stay past closing to see this few people on Main Street.  I think in 1979 the crowds were mostly smaller than what you see today.  The view down Main Street has not changed much over the years while the Castle view has changed.
