"Walt Disney / World / 26 COLORFUL PHOTOS of / THE VACATION KINGDOM / © WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS" booklet of views back-to-back from the earliest days of Orlando. How do we know without a date or mailing postmark? No Florida flag in the logo to distinguish it from its West Coast counterpart-- only seen in pre-opening material and the earliest postcards from there, and quickly discontinued. We believe that each of the views also became the earliest chrome postcards from there, and we have seen many of these images displayed with pride on collector websites on what they state are the earliest postcards. We doubt that many collectors have all 26 of these images! To name a few captions...

1. "The Jungle River Cruise explores mysterious tropical regions of the world"
2. "Main Street U.S.A. recreates turn-of-the-century America"
3. "Mickey Mouse and other Walt Disney characters meet guests in person"
