WDW Souvenir Catalog 1

Gift Catalog
1976

This is a 12 page catalog of Walt Disney World souvenirs...a collector's dream.  It contains several must-haves for my collection.  I love the 1970's brown globe-head pattern on the background of the order form.

The mail order form reads, "Prices good until December 31, 1976."  So I guess I won't try to send it in and expect these prices.
The items from my collection,"Blue Plate Special", are shown on the back page of the catalog.  I have yet to obtain either of the cups/saucers.

Gift Catalog, pg 6
1976

Page 7 of this 1976 gift catalog has some great park souvenirs.  The Country Bear Jamboree record and the Super 8 home movies feature the Big D logo on their covers.  I still need to get my hands on those to add to my collection.

Lessons Learned

Life magazine
October 15, 1971, pg. 45

As we celebrate the big sister's 60th birthday, here is a short article from the iconic October 15, 1971 edition of Life that discusses the lessons learned from the original park.  The biggest lesson: "We lost control of the environment."  Thus the reason WDW has over 27,000 acres compared to Disneyland's 200.  PS-Don't miss the caption under Mickey's picture.

Surprise for Mickey Mouse

Surprise for Mickey Mouse
a Little Golden Book
1971, Second Printing 1972

This Golden Book tells the story of Mickey Mouse and his invitation to direct the orchestra at the Mickey Mouse Revue at WDW.  This copy is a second printing from 1972.  The first printing was in 1971.  Note the 'Florida Flag' used on the logo.

Mickey is excited to receive his telegram and shares it will all of his friends.  Minnie, Horace, the 3 Little Pigs, Geppetto, Pinocchio, Donald and his nephews, Dumbo & Timothy and Daisy don't seem to care.

**SPOILER ALERT**

When he gets to the Magic Kingdom and meets the orchestra, it turns out to be all of his friends.

Check out more about the now extinct Mickey Mouse Revue at Walt Dated World.

Mickey's Philharmagic now occupy's the Revue's original space.  Notice the 'foreshadowing' in the last picture of the book.
