Disney Postcards: A Royal Pain (Unless They're Vintage)

My mother was a postcard freak. Whenever we went to Disney World, the first thing we did was buy a bagful of postcards and then spend precious time deciding which oblivious relative would most enjoy which postcard.

Worse, I had to fill out the damn things. I didn't have to address them, though. My penmanship wasn't neat enough for that. God forbid a relative wouldn't get their postcard.

Anyway, I share that bit of family history to let you know that I'm a hard sell when it comes to appreciating a site like Ken Eslick's DisneylandPostcards. Ken has been collecting the nasty things for nearly ten years and owns over 2000 of them. Thanks to this site, however, I'm coming to terms with my postcard paranoia.

DisneylandPostcards features only a fraction of the postcards in Ken's collection, but he seems motivated to 'post' them all, sooner rather than later. The current crop show Big Thunder Railroad. Others show marching bands and park guests dressed in the fashions of yesteryear.

But the best thing about these postcards? I don't have to fill them out.
