I've got to find my dad's pictures. I am pretty sure I saw the water ski show at one time. I vaguely remember sitting on a grassy area.

Man, what fun extras Disney used to offer! I definitely remember the rental sailboats and the skiing shows! We may have one pic of goofy on skis. Who remembers characters at RC. I have a pic of dad w/Mr. Smee. At first I thought it might be from the Poly, but it's def from RC! I may need to scan that one.

BTW.....cute pics YodaGirl!

Did anyone notices Fantasy in the Sky fireworks were over the Seven Seas Lagoon and not over the castle in 1972

No I didn't. Thanks for pointing that out. That's why it pays to read the fine print. I wonder why it says that. Did they not do the fireworks over the castle in the very, very early days? I only remember them from the castle. Very curious.

I also like that they offered "complimentary" readmission to the MK if you left the park to see the skiing show. "Complimentary"! How is it complimentary if you've already paid for your ticket? Very curious indeed.

I remember seeing that. My mom has pics, too. Somewhere along the line her photo album was misplaced. I'll have to find it and scan some pics.

Thanks!

OMG! That photo is precious!

Were y'all from Kentucky in 1982?

It almost looks like your dad has a Kentucky Waterfall going there (but not quite).

I'm glad to see you found your way over to this thread.

I know you have some old photos.

So, yes, please go and find you dad's pictures!!!!

You "may" need to scan that one?

Are you kidding?

Fire that scanner up KFK!

I want to see if KFD has a plaid bathing suit!

Indeed you do need to look for the lost photo album! Maybe your mom rocks, too?

During the 1970s, Fort Wilderness guests did not have to go past the edge of their campsite for grocery supplies. Two FOT's (Funny Old Trucks) traveled from site to site each morning and evening, selling fruits and vegetables, bakery goods, milk and the like from built-in racks and crates. One truck was made from parts of several other vehicles. The other was an actual antique: a 1928 Double A Ford. Guests knew the trucks were coming by the sounds of an old "ah-ooo-gah" car horn or a cowbell clanging just beyond the trees.

I remember vaguely seeing the watershow. Until this thread I had forgotten about it. Next time you all monorail - look for the walkway to nowhere from MK to almost GF. I wonder if this was built for the early days of viewing the watershow?

No that was a GREAT Disney scam called the walk around the world you could buy a brick with your name or families name on it for I think $500 and the walkway was going to extend wall the way around 7 seas lagoon

Eh, for once they weren't THAT expensive. I think they were $89 for the standard ones and $129 for the fancy ones.

We don't have a brick, but we do have a tile on the monoliths at Epcot

 

[DisCamper]

clkelley you are right price $85-295. You got love Disney having guest pay for their new walkway great scam

It couldn't have been that good of a scam if they never finished it!

 

[DisCamper]

They took your money and had to finish it by court order

OK, I'll scan the pic, but I must tell you up front that the swimsuit is sadly not plaid. In fact it is an up close pic and I don't think you can even see the swimsuit. I knew you'd be let down and disappointed so I just wanted to prepare you.

If you need your name to be written on WDW property.... A Sharpie marker is much cheaper.

Rudy the dog has his name on a walkway and all it cost us was a night say about $30

Rudy has pretty good handwriting for a dog!

Where might someone see this memorial?

It looks like a campsite.

But, which one?

[DisCamper]

800 loop back side of the CS walkway Rudy is dyslexic

 

[Tri-circle-D]

Rudy is dyslexic

Yeah. I see that.

But, it's not bad.

Considering that he's a dog and all.

This could now become iconic...right up there with the lawnmower tree. I'm gonna go and visit "The official autograph of Rudy the Dyslexic Dog" on my upcoming trip. $30.00 wasn't so bad, in fact it was quite a bargain....Rudy got his name on a FW CS walkway and the price included a night's stay at the Fort. (Wish I could get that package deal for $30 per night.)
