The year was 1976, and every day at WDW was like the Fourth of July with their very patriotic and lavish "America On Parade" parade.
I don't know if you noticed, but back in 1976 Disney was still on the ticket system. A 2 day ticket book for one adult cost $15 in 1976. Today just parking your car at Disney costs about this much!
BONUS STUFF: Hey look, it's an official "America On Parade" drinking mug. It still has its price tag, and cost $1.25 back in the day. I wonder how much it would go for on Ebay?
Hey look again, it's the official guide to Walt Disney World from 1976. It's compliments of a company called GAF - whatever that was...
This guide is about 30 pages long. So I'm not planning to scan it for this blog any time soon.
i had that mug when i was a kid!!! I loved it. My grandmother brought it back from Disnyeland for my sister but I inherited it a few years later. They're about 10 bucks on ebay. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThank for doing the Ebay legwork for me Jay!
ReplyDeleteGAF was a major player in cameras and film during the 1960's & early 70's and was the official camera and film of Disney World at the time--they left the camera and film business in the late 1970's--the company still exists as a major manufacturer of roofing shingles (?)
