Vintage Disney World commercials: featuring Michael Jackson and Cosby children

Walt Disney World would not have been around as long as Disneyland, but it still has a tremendous legacy of television advertising. For who else but Mickey Michael Jackson, Kermit the frog, the Cosby Kids and Indiana Jones would make an appearance?

For a return of rapid flame, here are five great ads for Disney World old-school.

Disney World and Eastern Airlines, 1971
In this advertising somewhat creepy, a little girl wanders the forest trying to understand how to get to the Walt Disney World Resort. Problem solved by Eastern Airlines, which proves that you can fly - on roundtrip with Eastern.

EPCOT, 1988
EPCOT Center - now known as the most fresh, unique to Epcot - is seen here as an adventure around the world and into the future. Even Michael Jackson made an appearance as the famous OS musical captain in the much-loved 3D action.

Cosby, 1980s children
Boy these Cosby children were everywhere, were not they? Judging by this announcement, the TV family love that Disney World. However, we wonder if their father was too busy to push pop pudding to make an appearance.

MGM Studios opening, 1989
Not too long, Hollywood Studios of Disney's was known as the MGM Studios. The announcement of the opening of the MGM shows how, in this park, the films are alive.

20th anniversary Countdown, 1991
In the countdown to the 20th anniversary of Disney World, a tower in place of the old school fact characters appearance - Roger Rabbit, the dinosaurs, the Ninja turtles - as well as once rockin' ' Pleasure Island (RIP).

New adult entertainment only planned for Disney "Fantasy" ship

 Disney Cruise LineOK, it might be not quite what you are expected. Disney plans a new look for night entertainment on his last ship sector, this time involving a ' Night out in Europe "theme."

The fantasy of Disney, a sister ship to the Disney dream, is currently under construction in Germany. It was expected to make its maiden voyage on March 31, 2012.


When it gets underway, the adult passengers will get to enjoy Europa, area reserved for adults of the ship. It will be a similar size to the adult area of the dream, the District, but is going to be re - imagine with a European feel.


"It will be an evening in Europe," said Disney executive Joe Lanzisero today in the USA.


A salon called the Piazza runs the District Lounge on the dream of Disney and will have a bar modeled after an Italian carousel vintage and other Italian themes.


The area will also include a pub called O'Gills. (A throwback to the classic Disney 1959 Darby O'Gill and the little people, perhaps?)


A popular feature of the dream Disney, a Skyline bar (pictured above), will make a reappearance in Europa. The bar, bordered of electronic "windows" offers a view rotating overview of major cities. On the Fantasy, they will be European locale - Paris, London, Barcelona, Athens and Saint Petersburg.


Another facet of the only adult zone will be Ooh La La, a champagne bar designed with a French boudoir in mind. This means walls of velvets, Victorian furniture and Louis XIV-style chaise lounges, and a bar with sparkling type diamond facets.


As for those who want to dance instead of sip champagne, nightclub The Tube will answer the call with a theme of London in the 1960s. Retro furniture, red English telephone booth and a "Union Jack dance floor enluminé" will complement the theme inspired by the London train stations.


According to the United States today, all this attention to Europe does not mean that the ship for the head to Europe. Instead, the Disney fantasy will depart Port Canaveral in Florida.


Designers sought a broad theme for the region and struck on "spending a night clubbing in Europe", Lanzisero said. "We just took that and ran with it.".
