\"WDW-0070\"<\/a>Going through my collection the other night I came across these two cards of the Nautilus submarine from the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction that used to be at Walt Disney World. \u00a0The most common card of this ride is shown here at right…that’s WDW-0070 (01110243)*. \u00a0If you look around eBay, it is not uncommon to see multiple copies of this card available at any given\u00a0time. \u00a0It’s not a bad card, per se, but it’s just\u00a0not as interesting as the newer card, WDW-0410 (0100-0243, also at right, below).<\/p>\n

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea opened a couple of weeks after the opening of the Magic Kingdom itself. \u00a0Despite a substantial crew of\u00a0workers\u00a0trying to get it ready for the October 1, 1971 opening of WDW,\u00a0problems related to the\u00a0lagoon prevented that from \"WDW-0410\"<\/a>happening. \u00a0Nevertheless, these 40 ton boats ended up serving in the lagoon for almost 23 years before the ride was ultimately closed in\u00a0September\u00a0of 1994. \u00a0At the end of the run, low passenger loading rates and upkeep on the ride spelled its demise, despite its popularity. \u00a0You can read more on Wikipedia.<\/a><\/p>\n

The beauty of the Harper Goff\u00a0inspired, George McGinnis design is on full display in the later postcard. \u00a0With the surrounding vegetation and lagoon, you really feel as if you are getting a secret glimpse of this mysterious ship.<\/p>\n

Checklist Update:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Almost 200 records have been entered into the database in the last few days! \u00a0(Thanks Dianne!) \u00a0Total entries are 824…and I am slowly loading photos. \u00a0I don’t have a complete set of cards (does anyone??) so if you are interested in helping fill in any section with scans (for any park)…please let me know!<\/p>\n

I am still aiming to get all the NT cards in by end July, hopefully sooner. \u00a0After that, I will move on to WDW postcards. \u00a0I only have about 50 Euro Disney\/Disneyland Paris postcards, so I continue to look for an “expert” on these cards as well…if you have an tips, please let me know.<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n
