We camped at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park campground close to Disney World. Yogi Bear came around each evening with his pic-a-nic basket handing out candy.
Which one of you is Boo-Boo Bear?

Some of our other favorite attractions were the Country Bear Jamboree and It's a Small World. I remember on our trip home my mom and Aunt Sally singing the theme song to It's a Small World. Even though we went through the attraction a couple of times during our visit, us kids never did catch on on how they knew the words to the song. We found out at Christmas when we received the album as a present.

It's strange but cool to see that our favorites are still around at Disney World's Magic Kingdom park some thirty-seven years later. Talk about staying power. I did see that Jellystone Park is no longer. I have no idea if it still is a campground or if it was torn down to make way for some other theme park.

Sally, what wonderful memories of Disney. I too always liked the teacups best. And Yogi Bear, how fun.
My family went to Disneyland, first time for me in the 60s.
Thanks for the memory and the meme.
It's great that you have pictures of your Disneyworld visit back then. Oh the fun teacups I wouldn't go near them now. :-)
In 1972 I lived pretty close to Disneyland and we went a couple times per year but I'm pretty sure there aren't any pictures. :-(
Nice trip down memory lane. Thanks for sharing. Poor yogi. How did he end up at Disney World?
Your memories are wonderful, and it sounds as if you had barrels of fun - or at least tea cups of fun!
Great pictures and great memories. I have never been to Florida, yet Disneyland is a favourite destination for many Canadians.
I never went there as a child.. but have gone with both the kids and now our grandson.. you are so lucky to have your very own childhood memories of Disneyland!
Nice memories you have from way back then! We were there in 2003 with Marianne's son and grandkids.
Sally, it's Hildred again, - really messed up the postings on Remember Whensday by automatically putting my daybyday address in THREE times, instead of Recollections. So sorry, - can you delete them, - I tried but wasn't able to... Klutz, I think, - very busy klutz last 24 hours....
What a wonderful trip you and your family were able to enjoy. I remember Space Mountain most from my trips to Disney World as the first time I was about 7- 9 yrs old and my knees were shaking when I got off. I think I screamed through the whole thing. I cried when I got off. The next time we went I was in my 20's and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I absolutely hate that song It's A Small World Afterall because that's all my mother would sing when we went to Disney World the first time. It really does stick with you a long time. Hope all is well. Have a great day.
Cute Kids!
