As an '80s (and 90's) kid with a mild obsession for vintage Disney memorabilia and history, I've always been fascinated by the characters and the parks. From childhood to today, I love learning about the history of Walt Disney Animation, the creative vision behind the parks, and, most of all, Walt's ingenuity and fearless optimism that made the parks a reality.

Thumbs up for Disney World in the '90s! My little sister and me, circa 1993.

Here we are, just hanging out at the WDW Treehouse Villas in 1989. Check out my killer Mickey cycling hat and trusty fanny pack!
