It's titled "Walt Disney World at Thirty" and it features a mix of photos and artwork surrounding a drawing of Cinderella Castle in the middle. What's always interested me about it is the fact it incorporates far more extinct attractions (20,000 Leagues, Walt Disney Story, Mr. Toad, Mickey Mouse Review) or concepts (the infamous hatbox ghost from the HM) than anything actually still found at the MK at that time. Just a rather bizarre concept for a poster I always felt...

Originally Posted By hopemax I have both the 25th Anniversary and the Figment/Mickey & Minnie Spaceship Earth posters hanging on walls in our basement.

I took pics. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/hmaxwell/DisneyStuff" target="_blank">http://picasaweb.google.com/hm...neyStuff</a># If you click on the magnifier, you see closeups of all the characters on the Splash poster. Really nice for a $5 souvenir. The 3rd poster is for the Tower of Terror. The main part of our family room has 6 DL attraction posters. I have room for a few more of those...if I ever can make it back to DL. I also have a few posters not framed, because there size are not "standard" so I couldn't just walk into Michaels and buy cheap frames.

Originally Posted By leobloom I used to have a set of posters for DL's Forty Years of Adventure campaign and a Song of the South movie poster. I think I remember the WDW 25th poster, too. Today it would've been sold for $24.99.

I honestly don't know what I want to do with much of it. The actual art isn't leaving my clutches. But many of the posters and lithos really ... well, aren't. But I've collected them to basically use in two homes and a production bungalow/office and right now ... well, let's just say most is in storage.

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 <<Thanks. Sad thing, that's not all of them. Some are still in their tubes.

Glad I bought some, not glad I bought so much.
Originally Posted By sjhym33 I am in the same boat. Lots of lithos in tubes, many in frames, not enough wall space since my wife has decreed that besides my office, the rest of the house is Disney free zone. Though this topic has encouraged me to do some changing out of my current wall of lithographs to others I havent seen in awhile.
