Vintage Vacation Kingdom Balloon Logo - Florida Project - Vintage Disney
I was thumbing through a Disney World 50th Anniversary coffee table book at the Downers Grove Library last week and I was (of course) drawn to the early days pages. From the land acquisition (Walt was involved then) to the opening of the Preview Center, the ephemera that they show is pretty interesting. One of the standouts was this Florida Disney World balloon logo that features the Disney World glove as the center of the Mickey ear balloons. They've moved away from the Vacation Kingdom monicker, but with the 50th Anniversary merchandise that came out this fall, it seems that (at least part of) Disney is leaning into nostalgia.
