40 years of magic!!



1971 was a great year!!! Intel produced the first microprocessor chip, Disney World opened, Liberty University was founded, and I was born! What an awesome year to come into the world! You always feel like the year you were born was special, but while we were at Disney on our non-Disney, Disney-like vacation, I was bombarded with how special this year was! Forty years of magic was everywhere! I almost bought a t-shirt with this on it, but didn't really feel like advertising my age. But I did buy a notebook, and a magnet, and bought a pin from Nathan that someone traded him. Oh, and a Christmas ornament!





Other years were noted throughtout our hotel (we stayed at the pop century hotel), but none can compare!

One thing that was neat about the hotel was all of the items that reminded you of different centuries. I especially liked the 70's and 80's.


The Big Wheel...hands down, the best toy I ever had!!



I tried to win one of these phones on the Mickey Mouse Club...my name was never drawn :(


My parents still have their 8 track player!!


The Rubik's cube...I never solved that thing...may have moved the stickers around, but never solved it!



My Walkman looked like this! Can you imagine running with one of those today!


I remember when these were the new thing compared to floppy discs!


Two children of the 70's!
