Walt Disney World
A History in Postcards
Appendix G: Perforated postcard strips

I originally had these fold out postcard strips listed in appendix B with the 1970's and early 80's postcard folders, I thought perhaps these folders first came in when the booklets with the standard sized post cards were discontinued. I still can't rule that out, but at least a few of the locations pictured on these cards did not open until nearer to the end of the 1980's. Also, I aquired one strip of cards with the price tag still attached and the price tag does indeed have a bar code. So it seems likely that these post card strips did come out later. Also, I now realize that these all have copyrights that read © THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY. Walt Disney Productions Changed its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986, but by the time of the opening of the Disney MGM studios in 1989 they were simply marking most post cards ©Disney.

The Discovery Island fold out listed here appears to be from a completely different series. Although it also has six cards, only five of them are postally useable, the title card is not. The cards are also larger, they are 5 X 7, and additionally, have beautiful animal graphic art worked into the back side of the cards (lightly colored enough that you can write over it). The fronts of these cards are beautiful close up color photos of the avian and reptilian inhabitants of Discovery Island, and there are generously sized description paragraphs (generous for a postcard anyways) on the backs of the cards. One thing it does have in comon with the other Perforated postcard strips is that it has a © THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY which may help narrow down the period during which these were issued. Still some sources still refer to the company as The Walt Disney Company to this day so it is possible that these cards were produced in the 1990's .
