The Preview Center was where many people saw Walt Disney World for the first time. Here is some background info on the Preview Center that we hope to see recreated for the upcoming
Florida Project event at Walt Disney World. We will also take another look at the FREE gift for guests to the Vinylmation Day.

This Minnie Mouse Vinylmation above is the FREE gift guests to the Vinylmation Day of the Florida Project will receive. Minnie is designed with the clothing the "Disney Girls" wore at the Walt Disney World Preview Center. The Preview Center opened on Jan. 16, 1970, and was the first building to open on Walt Disney World property. Located on Hotel Plaza Boulevard, today the building is home to the Amateur Athletic Union. More than 1.4 million people visited the Preview Center to check out what was to become the Vacation Kingdom of the World. The Disney Girls were on hand to answer all the questions people had. Guests could also buy Disney souvenirs, like pennants and guidebooks.

I like the idea of this figure, the history behind it and the clothing is perfectly captured, but the complaints about the face are valid. It doesn't look right. It's not because it's Minnie on new mold. She looks great on the new DCL figure. I also think a generic female's face would have worked. Kind of like the Cast Member Exclusive Ambassador figure from awhile back.
