Today is Tokyo DisneySea's 10th anniversary. In honor of that milestone, we'll be taking a look today at the different lands or "ports" that make up the park......

Today, in honor of Walt Disney World's 40th Anniversary, we have another toy from my childhood. It's a Walt Disney World jigsaw puzzle from the good people over at Whitman. There isn't a date on the box, but we can tell by the "Fifty Happy Years" logo that it is from 1973...just two years after The Magic Kingdom opened in Florida.

A trip report that includes arrival at the Magic Kingdom as well as a look at the Halloween decorations on Main St.........

Once upon a time in Florida's Magic Kingdom, there was a "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" attraction. It was located in Fantasyland and opened just two weeks after the park's grand opening on October 1, 1971. The attraction existed for almost 23 years before closing in September of 1994 and even though it had closed, the abandoned lagoon remained in place for almost another 10 years Unfortunately, there was not to be a "happy ending" as there.....

Photos of how the Magic Kingdom's island looks today including the Mystery Mine, Injun Joe's Cave, the two mills, and Fort Langhorn. Also, a couple vintage shots of the island from 1974, a vintage shot of DL's Fort Wilderness in 1965 and a comparison photo of Tokyo Disneyland's Fort Samuel Clemens (also a link to more shots of the island in 1974.)

Today we have two photos from the 1996 New Year's Eve party at Disneyland. Walt was sporting what I like to call a "trash hat." The park used to give these hats out to guests on New Year's Eve. I call them trash hats because they were made up of shrink wrapped scraps of paper and cellophane. I wonder if they still pass these out? On this particular night, someone had managed to get over to Walt and place one of the hats on his head.

Well February is here, and that means it's time for another Dapper Day! "Dapper Day 2012" was held last Sunday (yes, on Superbowl Sunday.....but who really follows......
