New Webpage for 1970s Walt Disney World Images

Since I've been scanning images and digitizing old home movies of my 1970s Walt Disney World trips, I've created a new page to host all of the new "old" stuff as I post it. So far, by reviewing old family photos, souvenirs and home movies, I've confirmed trips in October 1972, October 1973 and Spring 1975.

Souvenirs of the Inauguration of Bush 41 - January 20, 1989

I pulled out some of my souvenirs from the Inauguration of George H. W. Bush from January 20, 1989 and scanned a few of them. I posted them on a new page linked to the picture of the inaugural parade that has been on the first page of Dalinka.com for as long as I can remember. If there is enough interest (or I get otherwise motived), I may scan and add more of my souvenirs and pictures.

1972 Walt Disney World Video



October 1972. My father shot one roll of 8 mm film -- that's about 3 minutes of film -- of our visit (though I've cut out the family shots except for me interacting with a blinking Goofy).

In this silent digitized video (with music by YouTube's AudioSwap) of that film, you'll see:

Topiaries in front of the Contemporary Resort on the Seven Seas Lagoon.

A sign for the "World Cruise" on the Seven Seas Lagoon & Bay Lake.

An outdoor band stage with Bambi's friends Flower and Thumper dancing.

The 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarines

Brief views of Frontierland, Liberty Square and Adventureland from near where Splash Mountain now sits, including a view of The Haunted Mansion which is no longer possible from the original Walt Disney World Railroad station in Frontierland. Of course, there was no Big Thunder Mountain either.

The river was drained during this visit, so there is no steamboat in the Magic Kingdom, but the burning cabin was ablaze, some of the scenes along the river are in place near the railroad tracks, the skyway's 90ยบ turn is completely unobstructed and operating and the speedway has no Space Mountain next door.

1997 Disneyland Video

From the archive, I've started posting video of Disneyland from Christmas Eve, December 24, 1997. The playlist is now embedded below. You can also visit ASD's Disneyland Photos & Videos -- First Page to see it or, of course, ASD's YouTube Channel.

Brief video clips added to a few pages

I have added a 2011 Walt Disney World Photos & Videos page including not only my previously-posted YouTube video of the Countdown to New Year at Epcot, but a couple of brief (facebook) video clips from around the resort and my YouTube video of the Magic Kingdom's Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade.

I've also been embedding other brief video clips I previously posted on facebook:

Over on my London, England page, I've added a brief video clip of Harrod's.

On my Paris, France page, I've added a brief video clip of the Eiffel Tower at night as seen from the Seine River.

On my Israel page, I've added three brief video clips from around Jerusalem.

On my Washington, D.C. page, I've added a brief video clip of the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Capitol.

Perhaps by the time you read this, a facebook bug will be fixed and I'll have added a brief video clip of the Astronomical Clock striking the hour ceremony at the Old Town Square on my Prague, Czech Republic page.

Happy New Year - 2011!

When it's the New Year in your timezone, thanks to a bit of new code I wrote, ASDHollywood.com and Dalinka.com will automatically display the site's new 2011 Logo. All four digits of the year are taken from ASD's photographs at Walt Disney World -- the 2 is the most obscure from a resort, the 0 (heavily Photoshopped) is from a ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and the 11 is from a building at Epcot's World Showcase.



Happy New Year!

(Even this post has been scheduled in advance to post automatically on New Year's Eve!)
