Photo Flashback ~ 1991 Walt Disney World

It's time for Photo Flashback Friday here at Focused on the Magic! 
Time to once again dust off our Walt Disney World photo albums and take another look at some of our favorite photos and memorabilia from vacations past. Today we are sharing a park map from 1991.
I came across this map as I was preparing my post for the series 30 Days To 30 years which is an ongoing daily tribute to Epcot's 30th anniversary. It is being hosted by Beth of Pursuing the Magic and Didi of DIStherapy. To follow along click here, it's a great series. I'll be covering 1991 next Wednesday.
There are a few things that I found interesting when looking at this map. Disney Village Resorts: 
#11 Disney's Dixie Landings would be opening January 1992.
#12 Disney's Port Orleans opening June 1991.
You can also see the long lost River Country and Discovery Island. Many will be happy to note the absence of "The Sorcerer Hat";)

101 Things To Do At Disney World ~ Splash Mountain

Tweet

Welcome to our newest countdown to Disney. We’re counting down to our next great Walt Disney World vacation. This will be a different kind of family trip for us and filled with many firsts. We usually travel to Walt Disney World all together as a family but on this trip I will be travelling with my youngest son Peter and meeting up with some dear Disney friends. Peter and I have travelled to Disney World together many times and are really looking forward to spending some more mom and son time together. Peter has never been to Epcot's Food & Wine Festival before, I've never been to opening weekend and we're both excited to be at Epcot's 30th Anniversary Celebration.


In this series of posts I will cover 101 things we look forward to doing at Disney World, with each post focusing on specific things such as attractions, dining experiences, shows and well everything that's been on our bucket list since we started planning this trip a few months ago. 

What better place to start our series than in our “Laughing Place”, Splash Mountain, a ride that always makes us laugh and hit’s the spot on a warm day..or night.
