Disney World in the 1980s - A Flashback Family Vacation Vlog (featuring Classic Attractions)

Ever wonder what Disney World looked like in the 1980s? Want a trip down memory lane? Want to see some classic (extinct) Disney attractions? Well now you can see it!
*FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @HappilyEverAfterAdventures
We recently unearthed some long-lost footage from a 1988 Family vacation (featuring Amanda at 6 years old and Kate in her 30s), and it is certainly a blast from the past! For the longest time, we thought this footage was lost forever; only recently did we find an old, unmarked VHS tape and discover this magic!
This short flashback features quite a few Disney rides and attractions that are no longer in existence, including:
The original Disney World Toontown, called Mickey's Birthdayland
* Minnie's Birthday Surprise stage show
* 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage
* An appearance by the ORIGINAL Dreamfinder
* Horizons ride
* An extinct character breakfast at Fort Wilderness (Chip and Dale's Breakfast Jamboree), featuring
Chip, Dale, and the Country Bears
* And much more!
Join us as we look back on this classic adventure at the Disney World of yesteryear!

I love this stuff. I think the 80s were amazing.

[@frala2398]

It's great to hear the kids genuinely enthusiastic and full of excitement

I am dying! I was there in 1988! I miss the 1980’s!!!

Made my first trip to WDW in 94. Drove from Chicago in an 85 Honda Civic with my wife and two boys, 4 and 2. Dressed them like twins, just as you did. Such a magical trip. Ended up having 6 boys and going to WDW about 1-2 times a year for about 20 years. Things have changed, and I will never spend another dime on Disney, but those times were magical. Their movies back then as well. No more.

WOW! Just WOW! As a little girl I always wanted to go to Disney world.
Didn't get a chance to go until I was married with kids of my own. So much as changed since I was born in the early 70's and grew up in the 80's. Just WOW!

I was there in 1982

My parents took me to Disney World in 1988. This video brought back some very fond memories.

[@danielboone3770]

I wish I was here in the 80's as a kid!

[@Schwansonian_Townsonian]

Kate is my spirit animal!

[@craigpinkava6256]

I loved it! This brought back memories of my best WDW trip ever (so far) in March '89 (before going on a cruise on Premier) when everything in this video was still there! Great job with this find, Josh and Amanda!

the best version of imagination

[@bigtalk2598]

bTW, your film quality is better than their promotional films at the time. What did you film this on?

[@jeremybrandt5779]

I was born in Orlando

Thanks for sharing! I don't remember it being creepy, but by todays standards, wow. Creepy. 😅

[@HappilyEverAfterAdventures]

Haha :)

[@mlthornton1]

Could just as well be that today's standards are the creepy ones.
