| Mickey Mouse and Friends Souvenir Tray |
The Orange Bird is a new addition and the hungry crocodile has been replaced by a happy hippo. You can compare all the changes over the years by checking out my early posts: "Look Out Donald" & "Where Did Donald's Nephews Go?"

| metal drink tray |
As the holiday season approaches, it is time to pull out this drink serving tray. It measures approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter. The six recessed glass holes are about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and about .25 inch deep.
If this tray looks familiar to you, it is because I previously posted the original version of this tray. The early version was most likely pre-opening of WDW because the images were all drawings. 
All of the "lands' are still represented and use the same subjects, with the exception of Tomorrowland. The entrance image was replaced by 'Star Jets' and 'Space Mountain." I'm sure glad they kept the 'Jungle Cruise' vultures, though.

| 'How to reserve your corner of the World' hotel reservation card 1978 |
Before online booking, there was 'Central Reservations' and this handy mail-in reservation card from 1978. To reserve 'your corner of the World,' you could select from Fort Wilderness Campground, one of the three 'Resort Hotels,' or the Lake Buena Vista Vacation & Treehouse Villas. 
For the three Resort Hotels, you could choose a 1st - 3rd choice in case your first choice was full. With the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian, and Golf Resort going for $50 - $65, it wouldn't matter where you stayed. You can compare the rates with 1975's from a previous post.

| Welcome to Fantasyland! postcard 01110234 dp 79904-c |
It's a new month and time for another postcard. The Fantasyland series continues with a welcome from a no-neck, high-waisted, thin-armed Mickey Mouse. Costumes sure have come along way since the opening in 1971, when this Dexter Press, Florida Flag postcard would have been produced.
