Sprite can
Dopey, 1986 |
Spring is here. Time to open up a nice refreshing can of Dopey. For WDW's 15 Years celebration in 1986, Coca-cola showcased characters, lands or attractions from the resort. The dwarfs appeared on Sprite and Cherry Coke. Cheers!

| 16th Birthday Button |
This week, Walt Disney World celebrates its 43rd birthday. Each year, cast members are given commemorative pin back buttons to celebrate. The image on the button often reflects something significant from the year. For their 16th birthday in 1987, Walt Disney World recognized the 50th anniversary of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It is only fitting that I share this button now for the 43rd birthday with the opening of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Hmm....possibly a foreshadowing of this year's design? I happen to be traveling to Orlando for work this week, so maybe I will find out first hand.

Parking Ticket
1977 |
Back in 1977, it cost 50 cents to park at Walt Disney World. The front of the ticket had the traditional Big D/Globe Head logo and the early Bay Lake icon which can also be found on this early 1970's children's book. If you forgot where you parked, the back of the ticket provided you with a handy map with each lot labeled with a character (sorry, Doc). In 2011, the lots were renamed for Heroes and Villians and today it costs $17.
