Colorful Bucket Hat

Multi-colored Globe Head Bucket Hat

Thank you, Michelle from eBay (or the person who resold this), for the great bucket hat.  It prominently features the Big D/Globe Head logo with the added multi-color filler.  Also, note the ears are much more oval in shape as compared to the more circular traditional ears.  I have very few items in my collection that feature this colorful design and am not sure when it was popular.  If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share them with me.

WDW Souvenir Catalog 2

Gift Catalog, pg 2
1976

Here is the apparel section of the gift catalog from 1976, pages 2-5.  I especially like the 'Mickey & Minnie Love Is T-shirt' selling for $2.25.  Unfortunately they only come in children's sizes.  But it is going on my must-have list.

Item 3A features an image that can also be found on a postcard.  3B has a cartoon drawing of Mickey & Goofy flying over a photo of Tomorrowland.  3J uses the very bland 'Cinderella Castle' logo. The adult sweatshirt sold for $7.

'The Walt Disney World Collegiate Collection' on page 5 doesn't have the WDW logo but they do have some groovy 70's images of Mickey playing baseball, Goofy playing football & basketball, and Donald playing golf while one of the nephews sprays him with a hose.

WDW Souvenir Catalog 4

Gift Catalog, pg 10
1976

These final pages of the 1976 gift catalog have some excellent logo items.  The Dinnerware, Thermo Assortment, and Carry-All Bag are all fairly common finds.  If you have any of these items or remember them from the 70's, please feel free to share your thoughts.

For all of those Floridians freezing this weekend from their 'winter' chill, while those of us in the North East get blanketed by feet of snow, here is a nice warm sweatshirt for only $7.  Now of course that was the price back in 1976 from this excellent gift catalog, A World of Gifts from the Magic Kingdom.  You can see more of this catalog in my posts from January of 2012.

WDW Father's Day Gift

Walt Disney World Tie Clip

What better way to celebrate Father's Day than with this classic Walt Disney World tie clip.
  
What '70's Disney Dad wouldn't be proud to show off his love of WDW with the traditional logo and a smiling Mickey right in the middle of his tie?

Bucket Hat

Bucket Hat

This child's bucket hat features the Big D logo and the early castle icon which was prominent on many early postcards, mugs, plates and other souvenirs.
  
The simple sketches of the characters are unique.  The Jungle Book came out in 1967 and so Baloo would have still been popular in the early 70's.
  
I have seen this same item with the Disneyland logo and one WDW version that had a tag indicating it was made for both parks.  This hat has no signs of ever having a tag.
