Mom and Dad took the three kids to WDW over Memorial Day weekend in 1974. First plane ride, first time in Florida, first BIG family trip. Didn't get to Cypress Gardens but did make a stop at Sea World. Fifty years ago but memories so strong In even remember the smells.
I'll bet that the whole shooting match, door to door and back WASN'T more than $700 either. And that was LIVING REALLY HIGH at the time. I remember my aunt and uncle taking me on a 2 week trip across the eastern half of the country and seeing everything from Virginia, up to Maine, up through Canada and back down to Ohio. Stayed in motels the entire trip... Ate three meals a day in really decent restaurants and visited EVERY tourist trap, museum and Theme Park along the way. I remember my Uncle Mike complaining about it costing him $500 by the time we got back home 😂
My family went to Disney for the first time in August 1972 with another family. Stayed at the Contemporary. I was 8. It was so much fun. My mom was 8 months pregnant with my sister. What? What a trooper. ❤️❤️
We were there that year and each year until we moved out of Florida in 1980. The Contemporary was such a cool experience for us. We loved the tower and the Garden Wings.
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.
This is charming. Like peering into the not so distant past and realising how much has actually changed. Those polyester pant suits (aka leisure suits). Wild. The wide open highways. The area between the contemporary hotel and mk entrance not built up yet. Just palm trees. Thanks so much for sharing this video.
So many interesting things that are so different today than back then, for example the way they manhandle the characters and how safety has changed over the years. The filming is incredible, thanks for posting this “ step in time “!
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.
Thinking about this: it’s ten years after the ‘64 NY world’s fair. If you went to Wdw then, there was only one park, two hotels and the campground. They had their trusty rv. Smart move. Snow on ground when they left the Midwest. Memorable and nostalgic.
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, UW-Madison (University of Wisconsin) marching band, the Navy's old (and short-lived) uniforms that replaced the cracker jacks. Lots of stuff in here! I haven't heard of cypress gardens in forever!
That part in New Orleans at a Mardi Gras parade. Brother Martin is an all boys high school here that marches in parades. That looks like they are on St. Charles Ave.
Holy cow the quality and colors are unreal! Like a dream! God I wish I could shoot that stock. Also for 8mm... wow. And this coming from someone who knows the value of a good quality Super 8 scan.
@@mattiasn3904 I’m so impressed as well. Great work! Gets me really excited. I am currently looking to digitize film as you are doing. Do you mind telling me how you when about digitizing the film? My plan was to buy a 720p digital converter and export onto Adobe and then export in Adobe at 1080p. I am just wondering if this is a good option? Or if you have any advice. I’ve never worked with this film before. Thanks for the video, cheers.
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.
Thank you for uploading the video with actual 16 fps encoding. I see so many people uploading Regular 8 video at 24fps or 30 fps and slowing down the video, which just totally messes with the look
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.
I was actually there that year at the age of 10 (and also for the first time 3 years earlier at age 7). My parents were cool enough to pull me out of school for 2 weeks so we could go. Nice to see this as it was when I was a kid. It was a magical time. I still look back on it fondly as an adult. Hey, if you go back in time, next time don't focus so much on the water skiing and the parade. Boring! Focus more on the rides. You got the 20,000 League's Under The Sea ride but where's The Haunted Mansion or The Pirate's of The Caribbean or The Jungle Cruise? Those were my favorites.
Back when Disney was an environment for families and not attempting to indoctrinate children on adult issues. I do remember the water shows at Cypress Gardens when I was in elementary school in the late 80’s. . I used to swim in the lake even with the extremely large gators. Great video.
You should really add Cypress Gardens to the title. People like me are always looking for old 8mm and 16mm of Cypress Gardens. This has some excellent footage.
I’d add New Orleans Mardi Gras parade to the title or hashtags. A lot of the end stuff is a daytime parade right on St. Charles and people love to see this old footage here in town.
Very cool video. Loved the road trip seeing the old cars, reminds me of our Disney and Ft Walton beach trips in my Uncles custom cruiser wagon. I see you ended the trip with Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

People were in lot better shape back then I was born in 75
Good point, I really think cell phones are the downfall of humanity

When Disney was magical and truly about family fun
I was 19 then, and was it ever a different world!!!

1972 and 74, my parents and 3 kids in the Country Squire, two days down and two back.
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.

Yep. No longer. And their prices....
@@TheOldTapeArchive They are now WAY overrated. I have no desire to return.

Space Mountain construction. Very nice.

When the park was fun, clean, affordable and safe. They got rid of all of that in the late 80's
5:09 - Amazing footage of the Walrus. Opening day meet and greet character that your rarely if ever see these days.
My first visit to Walt Disney World in Florida was two years later during the American Bicentennial year of 1976.
Me too ! There was only Magic Kingdom.
Priceless footage
What memories!! Grab a character's nose like that today, and you will shown the exit.
Everything is so spread out and open! I had forgotten the way things used to look!
Everything looks so much more open and spread apart, it really feels vast and spacious
This was like opening a time capsule that had been buried for 50 years. They were definitely different and simpler times.
When life was good and stuff was affordable like getting into Disney
I love watching these i love see old film back in the old days ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow thanks for sharing. The quality is amazing.
In 1974, it was my first trip to Disney World, and it has really changed since then

feels so different but familiar at the same time
I noticed that beginning at 13:18, through the end of the video, this is actually Mardi Gras in New Orleans along St. Charles Ave!
Holy cow the quality and colors are unreal! Like a dream! God I wish I could shoot that stock. Also for 8mm... wow. And this coming from someone who knows the value of a good quality Super 8 scan.

I'd love to see this stabilized and turned 4K.
Why
My first year there as a kid ❤
@0:39 "Watch that red light !" "What red light ?" "The one you just ran through.."
Thank you for uploading the video with actual 16 fps encoding. I see so many people uploading Regular 8 video at 24fps or 30 fps and slowing down the video, which just totally messes with the look
I like how the characters walked around the park then instead of assigned areas
Ah the good ol days!!!
So many amazing details in the WDW part. Thank you
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.
That's Cypress Gardens (which is now Legoland) starting at 8:57. Otherwise, great footage. Thanks for uploading.
Yeah, starting at 13:23, they’re in New Orleans attending a Mardi Gras parade.
00:51 - There go the Griswolds
Sadly, exactly 50 years later, all three of these adults are more than likely passed on.
1:23 Haha! That butt pat !
Remarkable! Thanks for sharing!

Disney is captured now.
✨💖Love this! Thank you!
3:44 Take a look at that groovy jumpsuit.
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.
I had to watch this because I was there in 1974 and wanted to see if I was on film.
You still doing movies
What a different world, and the population was so much thinner, too. Amazing footage, and fun to watch.
I don't think the roads around Indianapolis have ever looked so pristine since.
When I watch these, I'm thinking I must be in someone's home movies. I was there too!
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.
You should really add Cypress Gardens to the title. People like me are always looking for old 8mm and 16mm of Cypress Gardens. This has some excellent footage.
They wont add it since they are a little dictator authoritarian.
> 10:00
That Kodachrome movie film really held up!
Notice how people are wearing jackets and pants back then in orlando. Now adays you dont see that.
people would pass out from the heat.
Well now we see why the characters are no longer free roaming and have a castmember by them at all times at wdw.
We were married in 1978 and honeymooned at the Contemporary Hotel. The first time i went to Disney World was 1975.
Love how people dressed as if they didn't just roll out of bed. Miss my childhood years so much.
I love the Mardi Gras footage starting at 13:18
And just a reminder - that this was almost half a century ago ;)
I’d add New Orleans Mardi Gras parade to the title or hashtags. A lot of the end stuff is a daytime parade right on St. Charles and people love to see this old footage here in town.
Walt Disney World was at the top of the game.
Our first visit there was in 1975.
superb quality ... wow
Corky the Clown at Cypress Gardens. They sold an orange Julius thing there called "Corky's cooler".
Wow Cousin Eddie is here!
cypress gardens my parents loved that place
The clothing is so 70’s, but people were so dressed up in the park! Wow!
CORRECT.
Most people think that a new Sweat Suit is "dressed up" these days.
Very cool video. Loved the road trip seeing the old cars, reminds me of our Disney and Ft Walton beach trips in my Uncles custom cruiser wagon. I see you ended the trip with Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
11:15 This looks like so much fun
Wow. Amazing footage. Thank you for uploading this. It's amazing seeing when Tomorrowland was still being built. 7:45.
@2:04 - "Do you like my camoflauge outfit ?"
I think that the water skiing footage was from Cypress Gardens. An old school attraction. Not sure about the parade at the end.
Very good lens and colours !!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the memories ❤.
well done restoring this.
This is truly a treasure.
Just play the Wonders Years intro tune by Joe Cocker in your head while watching this.
This was the exact year I went when I was in kindergarten
I thought the film had been reversed at 1:39
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.
Thank you for sharing this!
Notice the vast majority of guests here are adults!!
Come to think of it, isn’t that the case even today? Perhaps not but it seems that way.
Not the lady grabbing and yanking the poor Pinocchio character. Jeez
The beaches along Bay lake stood the test of time. They lasted for quite a while before they decided to tear it out.
worth a million dollars!
A rare site too see in [HD]
2:22 - Did you take the big RV to WDW Fort Wilderness, and this is a WDW-tranportation boat ride to Magic Kingdom?
Family truckster at 00:50...lol
hehe :)
Ok kids. We’ve got 5 minutes to visit the Grand Canyon. ;). Clark!
Wow grabbing the characters was harsh.
cool
