DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Is that an old taxi in line at check in in the last pic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stryke-force 51 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah looks like one of those yellow cabs or checker cabs. Probably just came from the airport, before Mears and definitely before the magical express. This photo came from our 1978 album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fortpartyof4 108 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 out in bay lake All of these photos are so cool! This one made me chuckle…..see the person right in the center with the red swimsuit? On what I used to call a "click-click" chair? It reminds me of my friends and I when we used to contort our bodies in odd ways to get an even tan and not have weird lines. I think this person may be doing just that. I recall one Spring Break in Daytona, in particular. We would "flip" every so often to get cooked evenly, hehe. Not a drop of sunscreen on us, puffing away on Marlboro Lights, probably with a beer nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for posting these! Look at Discovery Island! You can see the dock there, and white sand beaches all around it. The Fort's dock is a lot shorter than it is now, but those same MK boats are in use today. Whoa! The Wilderness Swamp Trail!

stryke-force 51 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have tons more but it just takes forever to go thru them and scan them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have tons more but it just takes forever to go thru them and scan them all. Well, thanks for taking the time to scan and post the ones that you already have. They are all great! Please post some more when you find the time. I never get tired of looking at old Fort photos. There is so much that the Fort used offer that it no longer does. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stryke-force 51 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm thinking this is the construction of the Meadow swimming pool. It looks like the 1500 loop bus stop way off in the distance. Tri-Circle-D and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow, again! These are true treasures. I have seen very few photos of the old Marshmallow Marsh cabin. And, never one from this perspective. Awesome! I think that you are absolutely right about this being the Meadow Pool under construction. And that is the 1500 loop bus stop! I'm thinking this is the construction of the Meadow swimming pool. It looks like the 1500 loop bus stop way off in the distance. I wish there was a way to be able to read what that small sign on the fence says. Are all of these photos from the same trip? I thought the Meadow pool didn't open until 1981.

stryke-force 51 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 that construction pic of the meadow pool came from our album marked "spring of 1985". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stryke-force 51 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 the pics I'm putting up aren't from the same trip. The beach shots were from the late 70's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the Meadow pool didn't open until 1986. Whatever the date, thanks so much for sharing all of these photos! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
