Here are a few bumper stickers from the WDW anniversary celebrations (15th and 20th), EPCOT's 10th, and the millennium (I know, not really an anniversary per se, but I needed to categorize it somehow)
Anniversary Bumper Stickers
Star Tours Bumper Stickers
I finally have a large format scanner, so I've started my scanning project again. I came across a bunch of bumper stickers, so I'll be scanning and posting these first. In honor of the last weekend of Star Tours Weekends, here are a couple of Star Tours bumper stickers. The first one I bought in... Continue Reading →
Orlando Sentinel Special Section – 10/27/71
This is a special section from the October 27, 1971 publication of The Orlando Sentinel. This is an editorial section that covers the Grand Opening celebrations that took place on 10/25/71 and gives an overview of the resort. What's so unique about it is that it's printed in color. Full color pictures were pretty rare for... Continue Reading →
Firecracker 400 – 1976
Yes, this isn't Disney related, but I wanted to share anyway because NASCAR is racing at Daytona tonight. Our first trip to WDW was in June, 1976. We also took a side trip to Daytona Beach to visit Daytona International Speedway because my dad was a huge racing and Richard Petty fan. I couldn't care... Continue Reading →
Preview Guide to Walt Disney World – 1970/1971
This is the preview guide book that was given out to visitors to the Preview Center in Lake Buena Vista. This is a scan of the actual book from 1970, not the 2011 reprint from the D23 Destination D event. Here's a link to the PDF with no watermark.
Walt Disney's Guide to Disneyland – 1964
This is "Walt Disney's Guide to Disneyland" from 1964. A co-worker bought this at a book fair last week, and he was kind enough to lend it to me. It's very interesting reading some of the language used in the book, and I love the "Coming Attractions" page that describes New Orleans Square, the Haunted... Continue Reading →

Countdown to Extinction Mousepad – 1998
Here's a mousepad from "Countdown to Extinction" in Animal Kingdom. This is before the ride was renamed "Dinosaur." The ride really didn't change much during the renaming of the attraction. It would have been nice if they would have kept the original name and not tried to tie it into a forgettable movie, but that's just my... Continue Reading →
Lights of Winter at EPCOT
The Lights of Winter are no longer part of Epcot's Christmas celebration, which is a shame. They were wonderful to watch and walk through, with the Christmas Tree at the end. I took this photo on Thanksgiving Day, 2006.
Animal Kingdom Guide Book – Opening Day
This is the Guide Book from April 22, 1998 - Opening Day. My wife and I went to Animal Kingdom after we both got off of work for the day. It was crowded, but we managed to pick up this guide and one of the opening day posters. We had been to Animal Kingdom for... Continue Reading →
