Great footage! Annette isnt the only celebrity shown here with Disney connections. Decades later Buddy Hackett was cast as the voice of Skuttle in The Little Mermaid.

In the same decade, let's not forget Buddy was a principle in the top grossing film of 1969 - - also from Walt Disney Productions: "The Love Bug."

OMG! We were only at the Fair one day, so I never saw the "Hollywood" area, but the Vatican Pavilion brought back memories. I remember going to see the Pieta and how it was exhibited. And, of course, It's a Small World. My dad fell in love with IASW and insisted on buying the booklet for the ride, which cost an entire dollar (a lot of money back in the day when you could get a cup of coffee, or a doughnut, or a Hershey bar for a dime and a paperback novel for 35 cents).
