More Magical Vinylmation to Celebrate WDW's Birthday

The Disney Vinylmation Blog released some treats for us today because their Facebook account reached over 7100 likes. If you haven't liked them on Facebook yet, do so, because the more people who do, the more stuff we find out about. And now today's stuff:
In 1981, WDW turned 10 years old. 1981 also marked the year Disney discontinued the coupon books in favor of these 1-Day Passports into the park. Here, courtesy of AllEars.net, is a scan of an original WDW 1-Day Passport.
For more looks at some really great old WDW tickets, visit http://allears.net/tix/tickethistory.htm. Especially check out the "Cast Member and Comp Ticket" page.

I can't wait to see how the images are represented on the 3D finished Vinylmation figure! They have been doing a lot of great things with the painting and style and quality these days. I hope they capture the old, vintage feel of the ticket with a real stamp like quality for the date and ticket number.

Also a WDW 40th piece:
This is an amazing retro look at EPCOT Center. Both Future World with the iconic ball and the World Showcase are represented here. These Thomas Scott designed figures do not have a release date yet. I'm excited about all things retro when it comes to Disney... so I can't wait to see what comes out this year at WDW. The 6 figure 3" open window set was a good start, and these two new 3" figures look incredibly impressive. (According to the blog they are 3", but the designs are so cool we hope that's a typo.)
