Oh, my ... WDW and my early college days. WDW ... many of my classmates participated in the televised "Wonderful World of Disney Opening Day parade" and events ... and "Disney World" paid those classmates in ALL E-Tickets booklets with Admission & ride tickets thru out the park (one park was open ... Magic Kingdom). Going value on the college campus "For Sale" bulletin board was $5 per ticket book.... each was an all E-Ticket book. And the college participants THOUGHT they were getting PAID (MONEY) for their rehearsal time and actually parade event ... they got those ticket books instead.
I think I went to WDW at least 6+ times that 1971-1972 college year. Needed a car & driver ... but way better than walking to the movie theater in town. And when I retuned to campus, 15 months later ... had NO INTEREST in drive back to WDW and paying full price.
PS Several of my male college friends crewed the Nemo's Submarine ride. Those boats always had water slushing around the bottom of the 'ride' ... the porthole windows leaked slightly when underwater. And of course, some teenager would make a comment about the sub was sinking. Now GONE.
PS #2 The TRAM ride across the park ... was a great way to get around. I guess, too many people 'dropped' stuff from those 4 person open cars. I personally did NOT like how they seem to swing in the air. Now GONE.
PS #3 The Haunted Mansion has not really CHANGED ...except the landscaped has grown WAY BIGGER. And there are other shops along the path to that ride.
