a few vintage pics (56k users beware)

Post by js3901 » Feb Fri 25, 2005 4:12 am

I was going through some of our old family photo albums today, and came across these old pctures we have. There's a total of 8 that I scanned out of approx 50 that we have. Alot of them are very obscure, too faded, or too personal for posting (plus I don't want to take up too much space...

But, here they are... sorry the first couple are faded and yellowed a bit, but that's what you get with age...

I know these brought back alot of great memories for me, hope they bring back some nice memories for you too... :D

Nice post.... cool how Mainstreet and the rest of the park seem timeless.

yeah, but to be 25 and still say "I was at the Cinderella Fountain at WDW and I have a picture of it that's 20 years old", it's a bit freaky...

That's a cool thing. Wish my cheap ass parents would have done that for me. I can't wait to do that with my kids... have a photo shot over the years. I know my wife has some cool pics like this.. i should dig them up.

ps 25 is still young... wait till you hit 33 :evil:

My parents have some from when we went in I believe 1974. It was the year before Space Mountain was done.

What is scary is that 1985 is considered vintage! :shock: LOL!

Neat shots!
