Eastern Airlines -- Walt Disney World Commercial

[tlillis4]

Does anyone know if that is Orson Wells doing the voice over at the end?

[johneddy98033]

At the end of that commercial there is the silhouette of the incomparable Boeing 747.

This Eastern Airlines Commercial is triggering 1983 Memories of My First Visit To Walt Disney World for me. Has anyone on here ever heard of, or rode an attraction called

" if you had wings " that was in the Magic Kingdom back in its` earlier years?

I remember working one of the first EAL flights to Orlando.  Eastern was the official carrier of the Magic Kingdom. So much fun!

[Rebeccachu]

It was creepy...a little bit.

[comgeek24]

How long did Eastern have its partnership with Walt Disney World? This is from the early '70s, isn't it? I used to look through old issues of National Geographic from the early '80s and saw old ads for Eastern Airlines/Walt Disney World.

[mrath]

It was through the late 80's, when they formed a partnership with Delta

[comgeek24]

Oh ok. Thanks for the info. Was there any particular reason?

[mrath]

any particular reason for the change to Delta, well this was around the time that Eastern started heading toward the toilet

[comgeek24]

So Disney decided to jump ship, then. OK, thanks!

We know of a remote farm in Lincolnshire, where Mrs. Buckley lives...

Orson Welles' word is as good as gold to me. Let's fly to California.

[Eric2221]

Directed by Rod Serling or something? lol

[barneybros]

i have lived in florida for four years. i have never been to Disney land.

good god!

[Heat3YT]

Disney Land is not in Florida it's in California. Learn some basic facts about the State you reside in or go back to whatever crap hole you came from. When you brag to your friends back home that you live in Florida, also tell them that native Floridians think you suck and want you to go back. :)

[barneybros]

Thats my F-in point i live in florida not friggin california. I mean seriously next time you get all pompous and fealin big dont waste your time and dignity by replying on youtube comments that are 6 months old. what are you some disney world know-it all freak? oh yeah and i actually had more friends here than you will ever have in your life.

[Heat3YT]

[barneybros]

[Heat3YT]

Thank you. Please tell your many many friends. Tell them you won an argument on the internets. They will be proud.

[barneybros]

[estopsteve74]

What was with Disney marketing in the 70's? Did they not want people to go? That commercial makes Walt Disney World seem to be a nightmare!

[panamcunard]

I like the fact that where an Eastern Boeing 747 in this commercial.

[ChimesAtMidnight]

Orson Welles!
