OWN THIS POSTER SET
A rare set of fifteen posters from the 1976 “Walt Disney World means…” promotional campaign will be on display at RetroMagic. These colorful posters measuring 22.75” x 28” feature The Vacation Kingdom of the World in all of its mid-70’s glory. Each poster is individually framed and retail on the auction/resale market in the $200-$400 range. A full, unused set like this is virtually unheard of.

To help sponsor RetroMagic and future events the Lake Buena Vista Historical Society will accept offers for the entire set until the morning session is completed at RetroMagic on Saturday, September 27th. If no one makes a reasonable offer for the set, the individual posters will be offered to RetroMagic attendees via silent auction until 5 PM on Sunday, September 28th. Payment will be due immediately and winning bidders must take their posters with them. Your payment is a 100% tax deductible donation to Lake Buena Vista Historical Society.

Interested parties may email us at [email protected]

Join us this September at RetroMagic, where we’ll be taking a “deep dive” into the development of Epcot’s The Living Seas with Tim Delaney and Kym Murphy. Tim created the amazing concept art, and Kym provided the know-how to make it happen.

@BrownsburgKevin @RetroWDW Unfortunately Disney has told us not to expect a firm booking until mid January at the earliest. Believe us, we’re trying.
