Walt Disney World - Summer 1978

Today’s post is dedicated to Dave over at Daveland, he’s been sharing his current trip to Walt Disney World on his blog. Since Dave did a little reminiscing about his visit to WDW in the Summer of 1978 (link) here’s some tickets & a Guide Gook to go along with the fun memories.

A Junior 8 Adventures in the Magic Kingdom ticket book





Eight tickets, why not ten??






The tickets with the fancy “Letters”.






Even the back of the tickets got fancy curly-cue things.





***UPDATE*** Mick Cozart noticed that the "E" ticket shown above with the other tickets has the WEDWay People Mover and so does the "D" ticket. Someone actually looks at these things??? Well, I didn't have a Junior "E" ticket for 1978 so I substituted that "E" ticket which appears to be a couple years older than 1978. Below is a 1979 E-Ticket that more closely represents the correct attraction line up although the Hall of Presidents is missing!. Thanks for noticing Mike, at least someone is paying attention.








Here’s the cover to the Summer 1978 Your Complete Guide to Walt Disney World.






Thankfully most of the attractions (poor Keel Boats) on these pages are still at the Florida Park, even the Hall of Presidents with their Stepford eyes.!






Tomorrowland rocks, WEDway PeopleMover AND the Carousel of Progress! I wish I had a chance to see “If you had wings”.






This map actually makes the park look BIG, which it is.






Tips on your visit.






Dave’s hotel of choice, nice! Since we know were Dave is staying, lets all Krash his party!
