100,000 Flashbulbs

Your Complete Guide to Walt Disney World
compliments of GAF
1975

General Aniline & Film (GAF) was an early sponsor of Walt Disney World.  They produced these guides for several years in the mid-70's.  This edition in my collection is from 1975.  Most of them use the stacked globe-head logo.

The brochure has a 3 panel map in the middle that shows the GAF Photo Trail and picture spots that '...have been carefully researched and selected as the best locations for taking memorable pictures.' -precursor to the Kodak Photo Spot.

Part of the 30 pages was dedicated to photo tips. My favorite: 'An Important Word About Flashbulbs: Don't try to illuminate large subjects or anything further than 12 feet away....A flash picture of the Cinderella Castle would require more than 100,000 flashbulbs!'

Big Bad WDW Puzzle

Walt Disney World Puzzle
Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Pigs

A second of my vintage WDW Christmas gifts that I received this year was this 'Interlocking Picture Puzzle' produced by Jaymar featuring the Big Bad Wolf and Three Little Pigs.  The box has the original Big D/Globe Head logo on the front but other than the obvious Disney short film I don't know the direct connection between this item and the parks.  

It appears that the puzzle was purchased off property at Conley's for 84 cents.  Unless Conley's was a reseller, I am assuming this was sold as a promotional product for the parks.  
When I opened the box, it looked as if the e-bay seller had mixed in another Disney related puzzle.  But upon putting it together, with the quick help of my 10 year old, we discovered a surprise border of Disney characters around the main image.
