I was in the first grade when that last clip was filmed. I would have loved it then, and it would send me running as far away as I could today!! The hair alone gives me nightmares. . .

Glad to see WDW outlasted their "official airline," Eastern!

I remember flying Eastern as a kid- (But into Daytona) and it seemed that EVERYONE was smoking on the plane! - ok just dated myself bigtime here! :D

What fun Laura, thanks for sharing! Agreed about the hair Dirk, scary for sure. http://www.stupidguesttricks.com/vb3/images/smilies/custom/icon_dropmouth.gif (http://www.stupidguesttricks.com/vb3/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=4#) Surprising too, as I never see Male CM's with hair that long now, they must have changed the rules regarding hair length.

That was fun! I wonder if ANY other buildings were ever built that way. They were supposed to be able to take the rooms out to remodel them, but the building settled so the rooms had to stay in the framework!

And that dancing was a hoot! I was in my first year of college when the MK opened (i believe I was actually in the infirmary with mono the 1st of October!) and I didn't have a TV in my room, so I remember none of this!

OK so I remember smoking on planes. And then I remember the smokers only in the back of the planes. And I do remember Eastern.

And now I'm really dated!

The Poly was built like that too.
Did anyone notice that according to US Steel , IT owned the hotels back them?

So what up with that?

I can still recall flying Eastern once all over the country with my mom and brother, and Mom smoked, so ol' Bro and I would try to get seats up front while Mom was relegated to the back, LOL. I can recall thinking even back then how utterly stupid it was to have a seat in the row right before the "smoking section." It was a plane - like a plastic sign on a headrest is gonna stop smoke from wafting those couple of inches over your way? Anybody recall flying USAir back when it was Piedmont Airlines?

Frankly, that Eastern ad was a bit creepy, with the girl running through the forest, and little glimpses of characters darting in the shadows. A little bit too Blair-Witchish, LOL....

Hmmm, I don't know, but you should probably pick it up before your daughter finds it.

Those were awesome I love watching the old commercials and even the old versions of the Wonderful World of Disney I can still remember sitting down on Sunday nights as a kid watching it.
