While I love a good Disney Postcard, my favorites are those that have been mailed. It's like looking into the past, and experiencing the parks through a strangers eyes.
Let’s start with 2 postcards featuring Cinderella Castle, mailed 20 years apart.
The caption on the card:
“Cinderella Castle-Fantasyland”
“Evening sets
on Cinderella Castle, gate-way to “the happiest land of them all”…
Fantasyland. High inside the castle, guests dine in royal splendor in
King Stefan’s Banquet Hall.”
Wait a
minute! King Stefan was Aurora’s, a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty’s, father! Of
course, King Stefan’s has been Cinderella’s Royal Table since 1997, but
why did it take so many years to fix this error?
One thing for
sure, in 1976, when this card was sent, Bob and Fran felt that the
Magic Kingdom was much more than just a Fantasyland, and that it still
is today.
This next card was mailed in 1995.
“Fairy-Tale Castle”
“With its golden spires and fairy-tale turrets reaching towards the
clouds, Cinderella Castle marks the entrance to Fantasyland.”
This last card features an attraction I never saw, but it was a classic.
“The Mickey Mouse Revue“
“Appearing on stage “in person”, Mickey Mouse tunes up with some of the
spectacular cast of 85 famous Walt Disney characters that sing and
perform during the Mickey Mouse Revue.”
David spent a whole day at the park in 1976.
All the postcards were from different sellers, and all cost $1 each.
