Snapshot '73: Early River Life



The Walt Disney World Frontierland of 1973 does in many ways resemble a wild and largely uninhabited wilderness.  This particular snapshot showcases a view looking across the Rivers of America. Barricades can be seen in the distance, though predating any Big Thunder Mountain construction by a number of years.  Tom Sawyer Island, at the photo's right edge, was then a newly opened attraction.

I love seeing these old photos of the Disney that used to be.

It's amazing the difference the growth of the plants makes to the look of the park!
