My father was the long running illustrator for Disney World map and he had the same board for over 20 years. He even placed himself in the map!

"Richfield Autopia, General Dynamics Submarine Voyage, Carnation Plaza Gardens." One that always cracks me up though is the House of the Future. Also it's cool to see what was there before the Grand Canyon and Primeveal World dioramas. Well, not really see, but what it says is there.

I find it funny to see Holidayland on here, that's an attraction I've only heard about. From the looks of it on this map it's no wonder it's no longer around. Also, I never knew there was a gold course at the Disneyland Hotel. I imagine it's no longer around, right?

The Haunted Mansion didn't open until August of 1969 and the Pirates of the Caribbean dated from March of 1967. I'm sure a real Disney buff could probably pin down the date a bit more accurately. I just happened to grow up near D-Land in the 1960's and remember a few watershed ride openings. JRM This couldn’t date from 1962, it had to be much later than that.
