1975 Walt Disney World, Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, & Golf - Restored 8mm Film

Relive a summer vacation from July 1975 beginning in the mid-Atlantic states with a crossing over and through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Our family visits Walt Disney World and has some great shots of the Jungle Cruise as well as America on Parade!

Less than 50 years ago. Idyllic, wide open highways. Parade was trippy. Those large mannequin heads, curious. A double window into the past. Thanks for posting.

Love this. Great quality!

I saw this parade! I think it was in February 1976. I have old photos of it!

And not a rip off lightening lane in sight

Is that (sort of) animatronic figure of the guy fishing on end of dock in river still at Wdw? It’s charming.

America on Parade. They should bring it back for 2026.

They had a float of a witch dunking?!?!?!?! Don't tell me Disney tries to overly sanitize history!!!

[@chrishintz1077]

Did the car cross the Chesapeake Bay on a ferry, or did they just take a motorboat ride?

No backpacks, no cellphones. How did we ever survive? ;)

True of many home movies of almost 50 years ago. The 2nd “silent era”. ;)
