Walt Disney World Turns 20!

 Ok, that was a while back. Actually, a long while (although I could swear it's only been 15 years or so) but I was going through some old WDW books and came across an item picked up at an estate sale a few years ago...

Now I wasn't there for the 20th anniversary, but as it turns out, these folks weren't really either. This was written on the inside cover...

So, they were there a year after the actual 20th anniversary (1991), but Disney, being Disney, was still in full "Happy Anniversary!!!" mode. By the way, I tried to find any info on Catfish Farm in Franklin, Texas, but couldn't. I didn't look real hard, but it seems that it's no longer there. 

Now, I was going to do a "this attraction is now gone" post, but that will have to wait, because I found this folded inside...

Now we know that they went in the first part of June, 1992! These handouts were very handy and (along with Stacey on the resort tv) would guide you to the most exciting experiences!

Here's a quick rundown of the park hours...

...and some non-park offerings...

Prices? Yep! We got 'em! This was way back when it was actually fairly affordable and guests felt appreciated and not taken for granted (ok, ok, I'll get off the soap box...)

Ok, that's all for today. I find this interesting because I was there in 1990 and 1995, so this falls right between my trips. In that time we lost 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which was the first in a long line of unfortunate closures. I think the next couple of posts, I'll highlight things in the book that are now gone. Wob't that be fun and uplifting?

Until next time, keep searching for treasure!
