This photo was taken on the 15th anniversary of Disney World in Orlando. If I remember correctly, it pictures a cafe at the "Small World" attraction. The year was 1986.
Very cool, but I'm not sure the speakers are working. I can't hear anything, and I know those people are making noise. And the fountain, too. I can't hear that. 8-)
I've given up watching TV this week, but for your historic photo I'll make an exception. Note the fashion shown here. Almost everyone is wearing either a blue or a white shirt. Wouldn't see that now.
Well, I wasn't there in 1986 but, I was there for the grand opening in 1971. What ceremony that was. I have some very fond memories of that experience.
Cool shot Lowell! I like all the colors. Disney World opened the same year I graduated from high school. It was only the Magic Kingdom then. So much has changed. I got stuck on that "Small World" ride once. The ride stopped, but the music did not. I don't think I've been on it since!
I have been to Disney World more times than I can count. I used to spend a lot of time there when I lived in FL. :) For me, it's definitely a happy place!

Wow, I didn't realize DW was THAT old!
I haven't been there since I was a kid... admittedly it's not something I want to see again, particularly not having kids of my own.
That I know of, anyway.
That is an effect I haven't seen before. Cool!
Oh, that is so COOL and colorful!! I love it!! Yep, time flies whether you're having a good time or not!! Hope you've had a great weekend, Lowell!!

It's better that way, no measles.

A cool frame for this beautiful picture! Nice to see so many people enjoying the place.

1986?! Perhaps you should have converted it to b&w too ;-)
A colorful and busy place, ha?
That 'small world' song drives me crazy. Each time I'm there it stays in my head for hours... days.
"It's a small world after all..."
See?
Never been there and also my son is a bit too old for that... But who knows?
Cool. That song does the same to me as it does to Birdma, except that I only know the Disneyland Paris version.
And nice ad for Sony!
