[Jim&AngieMarriner]

Hey gang,
So I was surfing around on Youtube and I found the complete TV special that aired when WDW opened.

Wow, the music was ..... um yeah.

It is 70 min long. Its deffinately a fun watch.

Search for "The Grand Opening of Walt Disney World [Complete - Oct. 29, 1971] " if you want to watch it.

Yes, I've seen that one as well as the one where guest were waiting for the "old" Steam Train at Ft. Wilderness Campground. I keep looking for glimpses of my family "especially Dad" walking into the filming somehow. He once was the ONLY ONE walking down the dirt street of another amusement park, right in the middle of a western gunfight.
Looking at the one of DISNEY's 1971 video, it's amazing how small the trees and shrubs are, especially around the Haunted Mansion. They really filled in in 40 years.
The clothes and "hair-do's" so remind me of Mom back then.
Great Memories! :balloon:
