These are vintage slides my father took in 1977 at the Fort.  I had to digitize them so they are not the best quality but I thought you all might enjoy them.  I still have several slide trays and a metal box of slides yet to do but i believe these are the only Fort pics.  There are some River Country and a couple of the Fort Wilderness Railroad.  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152211590549779.1073741837.686514778&type=1&l=8d3ff1e411
 
 
 

My father was a photographer and he passed away last September.  He took many slides of our trip to Disney in 1977 and I just digitized some of them.  Not sure how else to post them so I am just sharing a link to my facebook.  I especially love the Sky Ride pics.  Please enjoy.

Here are my Epcot Pics.  Not exactly sure when these were but my son was born in December 1981 and I know my parents came down to visit when I lived in Florida around the time that Epcot first opened.  There was an article in the paper at the time about seeing Epcot in one day and he was like a commando.  We didn't even get to stop to eat.  So please enjoy these pics.

I have been buying Disney Gift Cards are Target with my Target Credit card for years.  Typically you don't get 5% off of Gift cards but Disney Cards are considered Entertainment Cards so you get 5% off.  I pay for my trip with the cards.  Last time I was there, I noticed that they have Southwest Airlines cards.  I wondered if it was the same for them.  Well I called the store and they told me no, you don't get 5% off because they are gift cards.  They didn't sound so sure so I went online and bought a card online and sure enough.  I got 5% off.  It isn't much but it can add up quickly when buying airfare for a family. 

I am finally getting around to doing our trip report for the weeks of August 27 to the Fort Fiend Dream Cruise on September 4, 2011
I was not so sure this trip was even going to happen. First we had an earthquake, then threats of hurricanes and then Hurricane Irene was about to shut the airport. Had a 6:55 AM flight out of Philadelphia and made it out just in time before they shut the Philadelphia airport. I was really beginning to think we were going to have a locust swarm on the way down. This was a girls only trip including me, my mother, sister and daughter. I have to say that this trip had to be one of the best vacations I have ever had. It gave me time to spend with my mother, my sister that I don’t see very often and a wonderful bonding experience with my soon to be married daughter.

We arrived in Orlando and rented a car and did some grocery shopping.

Got to the fort and checked and headed to our site. We rented a 5th wheel from Camp at the Fort. It was all set up and ready for us when we arrived on site 1637. Site was nice but narrow.


The fort was not very crowded. Many empty sites. Air conditioning on and even two cases of bottled water that I requested. AWSOME!!!! We unpacked, ate lunch and headed to Downtown Disney to return the car and meet a friend that had moved to the Orlando area.


Headed back to the fort early as we were so beat. We had all gotten up at 3:00 AM to be at the airport by 5:00 AM so we wanted to turn in early. Had dinner at Trails End and headed to bed.
Tomorrow - Epcot
