“Epcot was fascinating. Their computers operate by pressing pictures on the screen.”
Ahh, the Disney World Monorail. There is no more awesome mode of transportation than this! This postcard showing the Castle in the background is quite an achievement in positioning. I need to study the maps to try and figure out where this photo was taken. The facts so far for that would be: outside the Magic Kingdom (duh!) but at what height? Being that it shows some of Tomorrowland, perhaps someone was on top of the bus station canopies…? Or a long lens from the Contemporary Resort? In any case, the photo shows dozens of reasons to love Disney World.

It’s a cut-out postcard so I had to put it on white paper to scan.
If you’re ever in Disneyland Paris and want to send a cut-out postcard (so basically one following the shape of the object, rather than it being squared like a normal one) I would advice to put it in an enveloppe because the French mail tends to not react terribly well otherwise (and you’d have to stick an extra stamp because it’s non-standard size).
