As a kid, we visited Orlando, and went to Disney World and Sea World. Only a single photo of Sea World remains of our time there.

1991 — Walt Disney World, parking passes, and Disney Dollars
A second layer in the file box belongs to August 1991: the Walt Disney World visit that left six parking passes at $4 each — the kind of stiff card stock lots issued before barcode apps. The Holiday Inn Orlando Airport chit is in there too, made out to Norman Shaw, room 134; it anchors the nights around the parks when the main story was queues and heat, not SeaWorld’s splash zone.
Also tucked in the envelope: Disney Dollars in $1, $5, and $10 face values from Series 1990/1991 — Mickey-faced scrip you could spend in-park as if it were cash. Scan the notes when you have a minute; they are among the most datable artefacts in the whole road-trip pile.
For the Cape and the rockets from the same era, see Kennedy Space Center.
