Wayback with Beacon Joe on the Rivers of America at the Magic Kingdom
As we continue our Way Back look at 1985 Walt Disney World…
We find Beacon Joe sitting with Rufus (the dog) at Alligator Swamp along the Rivers of America in the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World.
Everytime I see that, I hear banjos and think Blue Bayou
I miss these small old details of WDW. It seems that each time they ‘improve’ the parks they leave fewer and fewer of these small details that make Disney Disney
Here’s another one of the ol’ buzzard!

So, Dave…
Walt Disney World was still b&w in the mid-70’s? I wonder when they switched to color?
They began colorization in the 90’s with some assistance from Ted Turner, and then converted to full color in 2000. Or at least that’s what a friend of a friend told me.
