Family Fun Party - October 19, 1980

Its October 19, 1980 and Mickey is ready to celebrate "Our special party", in fact its a Family Fun Party! The lucky holder of this ticket gets unlimited use of all attractions (except shooting galleries).





Free Parking! Do you think Mickey really towed your car away (in violation of AMC 14.32.220) if you left it in the lot one hour after closing?





Since we're in 1980, lets take a look at a super Disney News from the Fall of 1980. The cover alone is all I need for this issue to be a keeper, what a great shot of one of my favorite attractions.






An amazing four page article on America Sings, boy do I miss this show, the music, the theater...












"Walt Disney's Greatest Dream" and you're not looking at it....






Nice three page article on the "Two Castles". Hey, some of these old Disney News issues were pretty good!







Yet another nice Disneyland article.





Planning a trip? This page is sure clean and tight, I wonder if computers were used for the layout by 1980?






Now there's two movies I see almost every day on cable.

I like your "...and your NOT looking at it" comment about "Walt's Greatest Dream". Too bad HIS Epcot couldn't have been built.

My guess is that the trip-planning page was not done on a computer in 1980... probably professionally typeset and then pasted up the old fashioned way. I used to work at a place around then and that's how we did our stuff...
