Working feverishly to complete our first iBook project entitled e.lements of the Magic Kingdom. We were shooting some backplates for different sections and thought I would share some of the recent photos here.

I would have more tickets from my youth, but a time-honored tradition of that age, was you handed off your unused tickets to a family coming into the park as you were leaving to return home.

There is a wide variety of stickers that you may find throughout your vacation at the Walt Disney World® Resort; these are only a small sampling of the ones in my collection. My favorite is the monorail pilot wings sticker…now I just need to get a real set of wings.

Lastly, some of my most prized Disney collectibles are those that I earned as a cast member back in the day. These are a few of my name tags from my days working for Mickey Mouse.

Wrapping it Up

As we continue to finalize the iBook, we will keep posting some of the content here on etckt.com. It is a daunting task, but the final product is shaping up to be very cool, if we do say so ourselves, and includes lots of rich media and interactive features showcasing the Magic Kingdom.
