Vintage Walt Disney World Shopping Bag

Sometimes you run across a piece of ephemera that is, well, spectacular. For example, the image of the bag below came with a 1978 Your Complete Guide to Walt Disney World. I assume that the bag is from 1978, also.



The colors are fantastic and have such a late 1970s vibe. Note that the Company moved away from the vacation destination logo and used the stylized Walt Disney World "D" Mickey globe.

    Hi George,

    I have some bags from that era (we Disney geeks save it all, don't we?) and what struck me as interesting is that I recall mine with Mickey head "balloons" as less "free form" and more geometric. I'll have to dig them out to confirm. On a similar note, has anyone ever done an "Art of the Disney Shopping Bag and Box" study?

    That is AWESOME. I want it to be scrapbooking paper.
