Wow grabbing the characters was harsh.

Everything is so spread out and open! I had forgotten the way things used to look!

@2:04 - "Do you like my camoflauge outfit ?"

@0:39 "Watch that red light !" "What red light ?" "The one you just ran through.."

cypress gardens my parents loved that place

that there is an RV clark

Love how people dressed as if they didn't just roll out of bed. Miss my childhood years so much.

cool

This is the highest quality home movie i've seen from the late 1930s that wasn't color/speed corrected!

I like how the characters walked around the park then instead of assigned areas

Very nice looking! What’s your set up?

✨💖Love this! Thank you!

Was there in '74 and '75. In '74 though the exterior was built Space Mountain did not open until '75. Yes a lot of space and greenery. you turned off of 4 and drove and drove through with nothing but forests on both sides of you, then suddenly Disneyworld opened up in front of you. Truly magical in a way that most people today don't know and can never be recaptured. It reached the point of no return with the new Fantasyland when they got rid of Mr. Toad, Snow White's Scary Adventures and 20,000 Leagues. My favorite part of the park. And the Diamond Horseshoe Revue in Frontierland was a joy. Now the Magic Kingdom does not have the sparkle and richness it once had. And they are chipping away at Frontierland. But people today don't know so they don't miss it. What an exhausting expensive ordeal it must now be.

I wish you would put in the description exactly where you were clearly you're at Disney world at the beginning but then it transfers to Cyprus gardens and then there's a parade and I'm not sure where exactly that is but it's not Disney It doesn't even look like it's in Florida help please

Sadly, exactly 50 years later, all three of these adults are more than likely passed on.

I was there in 74 with my family I was just 5 years old. My dad was in the Air Force and we just had moved to Tampa Bay.

What a liar !! Sure he will by giving Vlad everything he wants and then a nice spit shine.

Jeezusss! What with the cost of gasoline in that motorhome and everything else, I'd bet they had to shell out AT LEAST 4 or 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS for that two week trip! (I'm talking NEW CLOTHES, GASOLINE, FOOD, SIDE TRIPS, PARK ADMISSION, SOUVENIRS AND OTHER INCIDENTALS) Anyone else notice how we're being regularly screwed with "our" modern FALSE ECONOMY?

That Kodachrome movie film really held up!

feels so different but familiar at the same time

04:27 what is that waterfall? where is it at and is is still there?

When Disney was magical and truly about family fun

We were married in 1978 and honeymooned at the Contemporary Hotel. The first time i went to Disney World was 1975.

We went 18 June 1974 for the first time. I had just turned 7. I remember it was VERY hot but we stayed the duration..9 AM till just before Midnight. WDW was SOOOO much better in those days. This also makes me miss my Mom, Dad and Brother.

Wow Cousin Eddie is here!

I love the Mardi Gras footage starting at 13:18

5:40 try that today and see what happens

For a camera that can't capture audio those outfits sure are loud.

superb quality ... wow

Thanks for this. When Disney was truly magical. This was released 7 years ago and we are all now looking for how Disney used to be.

The clothing is so 70’s, but people were so dressed up in the park! Wow!

2:22 - Did you take the big RV to WDW Fort Wilderness, and this is a WDW-tranportation boat ride to Magic Kingdom?

Back when people got dressed up to go to WDW. Loved the rare footage of SM being built.

i haave aa bhs tape of someobdy eses trips to disssneyanss d

In 1974, it was my first trip to Disney World, and it has really changed since then

I am pretty sure all of these people have passed away...especially grandpa.. speed skating the ice rink with his pipe, I was waiting for him to do triple salchow, double toe loop! 😢

How can this be the MK?? I don't see LaShonda punching DaWanda over the last churro!!

I'm pretty sure I went down in 1974 with my family, we took the Auto train that took our station wagon. Back then I was five years old. I remember my brothers being around 12 years old and being allowed to do the park together without my parents until after dark, cannot do that today.

I went there in 1972 I had forgotten how open everything was with the lack of landscaping. It was better back then. I have an old ticket book. It was $6.50 to get in to the park. I have probably been there maybe 100 times in the last 50 years but now it all about how many people they can cram in and how much money then can bring in. I talked with an employee once around time around 1990 at the Polynesian Resort. He had worked there before the opening. He said that Walt would roll over in his grave if he knew what they were doing to the place.

Back when it's theme park imagineers, script writers and actors were hired on merit. Disney today is an agenda driven dumpster fire, to the point where Walt couldn't get hired there today.

My man getting dat azz at 1:25!

When I watch these, I'm thinking I must be in someone's home movies. I was there too!

11:15 This looks like so much fun

well done restoring this.

In 1975 we drove from CT to FL in a 1974 Ford LTD, no air conditioning, vinyl bench seats, mom and dad, me and my two older sisters. The ONLY things at WDW were the Magic Kingdom, Ft. Wilderness, Contemporary, the golf course and the Polynesian Resort. We also went to Cyprus Gardens - that is something I could have done without as a 7-year old.

Wow! These people are being really rude to the Disney cast members in costume, grabbing them and stuff. No need to act like that as a grown adult.

Wow. Amazing footage. Thank you for uploading this. It's amazing seeing when Tomorrowland was still being built. 7:45.

Thank you for the memories ❤.

Thank you for sharing this!

I think that the water skiing footage was from Cypress Gardens. An old school attraction. Not sure about the parade at the end.
