We visit the Magic Kingdom during 1981’s Tencennial celebration, marking the resort’s first decade in business.
Our film opens with traffic along World Drive before we pass the Polynesian en route to the Contemporary Resort where a monorail glides seamlessly into the Grand Canyon Concourse. Our guests head into the Magic Kingdom where they meet Mickey and Pooh in Town Square before boarding the Tomorrowland Skyway for a bird’s eye preview of a fun day ahead.
We glide over the Speedway and 20K lagoon, looking out over Fantasyland and taking shots of Seven Seas Lagoon using a zoom lens. More Main Street USA character greetings and Cinderella Castle looking regal at 10 years old. We board our Speedway cars, race each other, meet MORE characters and then it’s time to look at everyone lining up for the Tencennial parade before a riverboat cruise and a spin on It’s A Small World before catching the parade!
All of our favorite Disney characters appear in the parade including a mustachioed Pluto! The film captures the entirety of the parade before heading to the Flower Market on Center Street (no longer there). Our visit ends with another Skyway ride before ending with a final glimpse of the riverboat.
