As for horizontal stripes…. yikes!<br /><br />K. Martinez, I never knew that the Walt Disney Story was ever seen at WDW. And stay tuned, I have a great batch of about 40 images from the Magic Kingdom's first Thanksgiving season.<br /><br />Nancy, if you have any especially nice WDW photos, you should scan them… I'll share some here if you want!<br /><br />Melissa… D'OH!<br /><br />JG, I am a fan of old comic strips. Good old Mutt and Jeff!<br /><br />Melissa again, it is hard to believe that WDW looks so empty, having only been open for a few weeks.<br /><br />Bill, it seems that Florida often has the best fluffy clouds. And I think that guy in the stripes just escaped from prison.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-48112712213331093332012-12-28T11:56:05.799-08:002012-12-28T11:56:05.799-08:00Love the fluffy cloud floating over the castle spi...Love the fluffy cloud floating over the castle spires in pic #1!<br /><br />Also noting among the Apatosaurus and Triceratops at WDW is the less-rare Stripeoactylus - on display in the open expanse of Main Street and it's sidewalks.

It is sorta like seeing a film shot in your town, it makes you feel proud that the world is seeing your city (in my case, Pittsburgh!). <br /><br />We often start our day with a visit to the Princesses there on Main Street. <br /><br />I am also looking forward to seeing more of my home away from home. :-)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-28375052259270067112012-12-28T02:55:23.786-08:002012-12-28T02:55:23.786-08:00I remember seeing "The Walt Disney Story"...I remember seeing "The Walt Disney Story" (pre-show display and film) at the Exposition Hall back in the late 70s.

Presently it is the new home created for "meet and greet's" for Mickey, Minnie and - oh, yes: The Disney Princesses-! (But of course).<br /><br />Wow-! What a sight Main Street appears in these images, with so... much... elbow... room. Ahhh, for the days of "light crowds".<br /><br />Now - about those horizontal stripes.
