Loved the pics. Thanks so much.
have you reshot any from the same angle and location? That might be fun.

Cool pics, Thanks for sharing!!! :mickey:

Thanks for sharing! Love to see old photos, as we went a few years later, and it's fun to reminisce.

Had you posted these photos on Intercot before? Maybe I saw them somewhere else. I know definitely that I've seen the one photo of the boy (I assume it's you) in the funky hat and striped tube socks! Love that '70s fashion! :D

Cool pics! There are lots of great ones, but I really like the one of the concourse in the CR.

Thanks for sharing!

Ahhh, those bring back good memories. We were they in October, 1971, this was only a few weeks after the MK had first opened. How things have changed through the years. Me especially, LOL.

No, but an interesting idea

I think I did. I scanned a few of them a while back but went on a scanning frenzy last week

Great pics. Love the hat and striped pants.

Brings back memories of our first trips back in the early 70's... Swan Boats, greeting characters in the park without a FP+, etc.

Fantastic photos! I LOVE how the Mansion looks, it's so grand and imposing. The Queue line canopy really takes that away.

It's so strange, looking at those photos, it's so familiar, yet so different!

Great old pics Kevin - a fellow NJ-er we went down in '73 the first time and again in '75. Yeah, I was rocking those striped tube socks!! I love how the characters are just meandering thru the park. Haven't seen much of the Dumbo character these days. And Donald looks a bit psychotic no?!! :thumbsup: Also the park is so new the extensive landscaping we're so used to today is virtually non-existent. Oooh, loved those trips!!!!

Those were...*awesome* :)

Keelboats...

Grand Prix Raceway before all the landscaping...

I can't see them. :( Is it because I don't have a FB account?

I have some pics from 1971 too. I need a new scanner though.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

I love the old photos. I am fascinated looking at the background at former attractions or how some areas still look the same. I enjoy viewing old photos on websites like yesterland and walt dated world.

[TinkInTraining]

Wow those were great! Thank you for sharing!

These are really great, Kevin. Thanks for sharing!

What's interesting is that they're as notable for what hasn't changed as much as they are for what has. Considering the resort is 40+ years old it is pretty remarkable how much it still resembles it's early years in some respects.
