O' the 80's

In the 80's we had Mickey and Donald's Birthday's,

and then the country went Aerobics Crazy and
Disney jumped in with "Mousersize"and we've almost forgotten
when Minnie was influenced by Madonna/Cindy Lauper
and became "Totally Minnie"
Which brings us to Goofy!
Sport Goofy!
1984 the year of the Olympic Games were here in LA...
Sport Goofy made a lot of appearances that year...Here's a program from 1984
with an article on Sport Goofy and how he came to be...

I love this little snippet on the DL hotel Tennisland!
o' the 80's - when shorts were
"Tight and SHORT!"

Some of the most memorable and rewarding things
about my time at the park were the hospital visits

In the 80's The Disney Channel sent the characters
to a lot of events at affiliate cable stations...
That year I got to travel to Medford Oregon
where Sport Goofy was the Grand Marshall
of the "Pear Blossom Parade".

I just love this ladies hat!
she could care less about Goofy,
she was just along for the ride!

Summer Scenes?
The "Disco Explosion"?
or the scary rubber clown head?

Check out our friend at Vintage Disneyland tickets.
In keeping with his post today,
Here's a couple of pics from
The Circus Fantasy Parade

This was taken at Small World step off ,behind the Subs,
while waiting for the train to go by before the parade
Goofy wore these same tennis shoes as Sport Goofy.

A lot of the Costumes for this Parade came from Ringling Brothers.
Fathers and Sequins for days!!!
The tan coat and tie was the Parade Captain outfit up until the mid 80s

This is my friend Barbie...one of the most beautiful girls in the parades
she was also a "Glock Girl" at Christmas.
