Rich Muller found a few photos from his 1971 opening year trip to Walt Disney World. At that time there was only the Magic Kingdom to visit. He met some great characters including Hit Cat and Gus. Do you have any Vintage Character photos you’d like to share? Email them to me and I’ll feature them on the blog sometime. kennythepirate@gmail.com

These remind me of my childhood, so I got my old scrapbook out to see my Disney photos as a kid this weekend. I had a really good picture with Miss Biaca from the Rescurers from around 1979 or 1980. I don't think I have ever seen her since. Also, had a picture with the Big Bad Wolf from the late 80's. He ate my mom's umbrella. Showed it to my 3 year old yesterday, and poor thing woke up at 5 a.m. this morning screaming the Big Bad Wolf was eating her foot. I didn't mean to scare her, but she thought it was funny later when I told her what she did as she didn't really remember waking up doing that.
