been workin' on an icon collection...

[acroyear]

disney100 (and the similarly named and themed, but differently managed, disney_100 ) are icon collection communities.  They follow a pattern where one is challenged to create 100 icons from a single source or style.  The first 50 icons have to fit a particular theme, the remaining 50 are "artist's choice".

Well, there are TONS of PotC collections out there, and many doing things based on a single movie, a single character (or couple), the disney parks, characters in the disney parks, "high school music" (why god why), and much more...

So I looked at what hadn't been done up 'til then, and found my theme: Frontierland on Film.  A set of icons all dedicated and taken from the classic Disney Westerns (along with a few surprises).

I'm up to 21 so far...

On a separate note, Sunday, I went looking for (and found) a whole bunch of pictures from Walt Disney World in 1972-1974 (along with a bunch from long defunct "Marco Polo Park").  By complete coincidence, I found one taken in 1973 almost perfectly matching a shot I'd taken just last month.

I was in Disney World in '72. I was 6 1/2 & a very happy little girl. We camped in our new VW at the new Fort Wilderness (or "roughed it" in the orange groves nearby) and I was amazed to see my first animatronics & the REAL LIVE Donald Duck! The pictures (and ticket books) are in the possession of my sister & I will scan a few pics & post them if I get the chance.

My favorite picture took place at the stocks near the Haunted Mansion. My brother & sister were teenagers & I was too little to have my head in stocks so they had their picture side by side. When I went to Disney in '88 to celebrate my collegiate Senior year Spring Break, I had my picture taken in the same stocks. Those incriminating pictures are on my mantle at home.

Thank you for sharing!
