This thread brings back lots of memories!

Anyone remember the supermarket Food World in Northgate Plaza? It had a big globe on the outside of the building.

Or Sweden House Smorgasbord on Lee Rd?

Other things I remember from my youth:

The 2 screen movie theater next to Altamonte Mall
Interstate Mall, before it was converted to strip mall
Movie theater behind Colonial Mall
Naval Training Center
Orlando Renegades
Minnesota Twins spring training at Tinker Field
Winter Park Mall

Lots of memories from Disney:
Magic Journeys and Captain EO 3D movies at Epcot
Discovery Island
Laserphonic Fantasy at EPCOT
A, B, C, D, and E tickets for Disney World.
If You Had Wings
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

RE: Interstate Mall, before it was converted to strip mall

Remember that place on the corner of I-4 and the mall that had that outdoor swimming pool?? Never was quite sure what that was - a club?
