And a few more

These are all such great pix, but Kelly I love the one of the deer by the sign! So cute!

This was taken outside of the original entrance to 1900 Park Fare August 1988 Geez sorry it's so small I must have scanned it in on the wrong size......anyhoo I thought the box was very pretty and believe it or not I still have that shirt Can I still wear ? No clue! ~~AnnMarie &*&

My favorite machine.

Could it be an old fashioned children's toy chest? Looking at the pic again I think there was another chest you can kinda see it over my shoulder. I miss the gumball machines on the tables filled with M&M's all you had to do was shake it and they fell out......I'll never forget the day we(mom &I) fell in love =*)) $%$ with the Grand 8-8-88.We were lucky the TA we used asked if we were sure that was when we wanted to go cuz the GF might not open on time.Did you know they used give you gifts? I think we got potpurri baskets and a watch(if I can find I'll take a pic and post it). ~~AnnMarie &*&

AnnMarie, that is soo neat. ) I got married in 1988 and we honeymooned around FL...did WDW for a few days but stayed off site. I actually didn't even like the GF for years. I thought it was foo foo and vanilla. <@@> We always stayed at the BC or the CR until by a fluke all that was available was GF RPC for a Thanksgiving trip in like 2002?? I don't know.....well we took it and grudgingly felt like we'd make the most of it. <@@> It was love at first site. $%$ My LUCKY number is 8. I am serious! I love the number 8. <@@> That is so cool you stayed there on 8/8/88. I didn't know about the gifts or m&ms!!! I hope you find a photo. *?*
