Walt Disney World

Characters
Much like the full color card scenes in the first part of the
animation galleries postcard series. these sketch cards too work
their way through animated films in chronological order, but
these start with the shorts, and so include our pals, Mickey,
Minnie, and Goofy and for the rest of the sketch card series the
focus is on movies some of which were not covered in those
earlier cards Fantasia, Bambi, and The Jungle Book .

20 Magical Years
In 1991 Walt Disney World celebrated it's 20th anniversary, Some
have said that in many ways the celebration of the 20th
anniversary was a "dress rehearsal" for the 25th anniversary
celebration of the park. I did not attend WDW that year but I can
certainly understand how lessons learned in trying to get the
best possible celebration for the "20 Magical Years" celebration,
could have been applied to the "Remember the Magic" one. Since there is no
obvious refeance to the 20 Magical Years on the front the reason the only
reason I know that this card was produced in commeeration of that event is the
logo on the back that says "20 Magical Years". Also, on
a more mundane note, about this same time in 1990-1991 Walt Disney
World went to using bar codes on all of their merchandise,
including postcards, so this card being probably one of the last
non-bar code post cards for sale seems an appropriate place to end
this chapter.
This card has a nice detail on it, that you may or may not have
noticed, so here it is close up. Also, I don't know who did the
artwork for this card it is a beautiful card, if you know who did
this art please E-mail
Me martsolf@mindspring.com and if you can please let me know
the source of your information (I like to confirm things when I
can).
