I am so glad I finally found this clip. My father is in it at the 1:08 position of the video! He is the guy with the black glasses and orange shirt! This was back in 1972 when he and my mother brought me to Disneyland when I was a baby. I remember when I was a child my mother used to always tell me to look at my Dad on television, but I was young and never could spot him.
The not-so-subtle inclusion of Disneyland clips certainly reminded viewers they may wish to visit one of these days. First visited as a teenager in the early eighties and was not disappointed.
Brings back great memories of growing up with the magical world of Disney. I truly miss those days. I now have 3 of my family members gone since then, I dearly miss them.
Yes I totally agree with you, I really believe that we were blessed to have experienced those days. I remember this would come on Sunday nights and you always knew it was time for bed soon. Such great memories back then 🤔😁
@@brianserpente4366You and me both!!! I always looked forward to the opening of the show where the skyrockets would light up and Tinker Bell would be waving her dusk and then all of those wholesome scenes would pop up!!! If I missed that, but watched the rest of the show,it wouldn't be the same!!! Watching the opening was a big "must"!!!
Homer Jay, this reminds me of what my dad told me. I asked him if "Disney Channel" came on everyday. He said, "First, it was the Wonderful World of Disney when I was growing up, and it only came on Sunday evenings." He was born 11/28/62.
My parents would let us watch, "The Wonderful World of Disney", on Sunday evening, if we had finished our weekend homework, and had our bedroom cleaned. What a great motivation that was!
Warm sunday late summer night front door back door open crickets chirping to the yard Mom making popcorn step dad on the porch drinking his tea me hurrying to get my shower done so I can stay up late and watch the movie till the end great days back then
Yup I remember! I was born in 74 June but remember this show with my parents, and taking my bath as a kid. And warm summer nights too!! Doors open, no worries
I have many memories of being at my Nanny Stone's along with a few of my cousins watching The Wonderful World Of Disney.They didn't have cable television at the time,so this was on CBC on Sunday evenings around suppertime,and it was always followed by The Muppet Show and The Beachcombers after that.Appointment television sure was the best in that era because we'd all be gathered around the TV set without a word out of any of us.
The muppets was on Sunday night in the UK too! Always had a picnic tea and jelly and ice cream then s bath ready for school then the muppets! Our childhood was the best.
Yes, I remember seeing this on CBC in Canada as well, followed by The Muppets & The Beachcombers. For a time through the 1970s, The Irish Rovers Show followed The Beachcombers on the Sunday night lineup too.
I too remember watching Disney on Sunday nights on CBC back in the 1970s and 1980s. Part of what made watching Disney memorable for me back then was that my dad would order chicken from KFC to pick up and bring home and the family would sit around the TV and eat while watching Disney.
I know the feeling ! It was a big part of my 60s childhood ! Was broadcast on NBC on Sunday nights for most of its run. Was always fun to watch, but also I & my siblings knew it was back to school the next day....
Oh wow! Lots of memories here! Of course this show goes back a bit further than this. I remember when it used to be the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color in the 60s with a great theme song written by the Shermans. Of course Color shows were a big deal back then. This is also what people used to call "appointment viewing". I really miss those days!
This version was aired on WWOC back in 1979 when it was on WNBC-TV (channel 4) in NYC every Sunday night. But I still have the VHS copy of this with the original opening credits with stop-motion animation by X Atencio. In addition to this film, the sad news is that Maureen O'Hara, the actress who played Maggie in the original 1961 version has died yesterday at 95. She was very terrific and she will be missed. RIP 😥
The original Parent Trap was just Terrific! Maureen O'hara was so beautiful and Haley Mills playing twin sisters was too much! I remember watching this as a kid on The Wonderful World of Disney" I wish I was watching it now! Oh to be a kid again and oh to be able to watch good clean tv! Thanks for posting!
Tv was much better back then than what we got now we are in a world of garbage tv back when I was growing up, we watched lassie and the wronderful world of disney as a family
Does anyone remember an English presenter on The Wonderful World of Disney in the 70s? His name was Brian Thomas and I had read about him in a British book called Who's Who on Television from 1980, it said he hosted The Wonderful World of Disney for 9 months. He seems to have disappeared after 1980
This was one of the last voice-overs for the weekly Disney series provided by their long-time announcer, Dick Wesson (he was so despondent over his battle with cancer, he committed suicide in January 1979).
This opening I do not recall ever seeing. I have one opening on several commercially sold VHS tapes of the WWoD series with the same music but different visuals.
BTW, "Sean Mc" uploaded the closing to the 1979 repeated broadcast of the original "Parent Trap" from the "Wonderful World of Disney". It was later aired in 1982 as part of the "CBS Saturday Night Movies". It's posted here. The Parent Trap 1982 CBS Movie & Wonderful World Of Disney Closing
I remember the movie started without the usual film intro which was kind of nice without just sitting through produced by set designer assistant director technical advisor and etc until the movie started.
This was one of my favorite shows right up there with please don't eat the daisies I would settle down and enjoy it to no end the saddest part is when it was over and I adored watching Tinkerbell fly over the castle
Actually, I did save a copy to disc. That scene in the Disney Intro is the only scene with my Dad in it. He was just in the right place at the right time! I was still an infant, so I don't remember being there.
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY. SUNDAY NIGHTS AT 7 PM ON NBC 10 BOSTON. YES I KNOW IT DIDN’T EXIST IN 1979, BUT I SURE WISH THAT IT HAD. Kenneth Huang 9/02/23.
@moviesperson100001 :) No, there wouldn't have been. The problem was that the movies ran about two hours and the Sunday night televised version on The Wonderful World of Disney had to play in two parts. This was because the time slot was only an hour long. Since this was before VHS, we would be very upset if we missed one of the parts.
I fondy recall Marlin Perkins from his long running syndicated TV show "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" ! It aired all thru my childhood & teen years of the 60s & 70s !
Hey everyone, if you guys all want to see every single one of The Disney Afternoon-era cartoon television shows get released on DVD very soon, then I highly and strongly suggest that you sign and spread the word as much as you guys possibly can about this online petition!

I need your help, Which hôtel we see kids slidering into the water? I was at the Coranado few weeks ago, I goes to the Comtempory resort but I dont find the fall and slide that we show into this intro. I was maybe 6 yold when I look my first disney during the 80's and since, I want to find this slide. :-)
Same here. These days, children watch Dora the Explora as a babysitter, and then after they go to bed, their parents sit & watch garbage reality shows. *rolls eyes*
I saw an intro with DIFFERENT Clips, from my DVD of "Donald in MathMagic Land," which I got from Disney Movie Rewards with DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp. If they knew what they were doing, they could've added more cartoons on there, like Donald and the Wheel, Freewayphobia and its sequel, Goofy's Freeway Troubles, and of course, Scrooge McDuck and Money.
I have seen the 1998 remake on ABC-13 KTRK (Houston) in 1999 which is rated PG and had Lindsay Lohan. Will The Wonderful World of Disney come back to ABC-13 KTRK (Houston) on Sunday nights?
Apparently it won't let me post CZcams links, but this is the intro I was talking about: type in "1970's Opening Theme to The Wonderful World of Disney" in the search box; it's by a user named LoreneFaith.
I used to get a kick out of Marlin Perkins. You never saw him doing any of the dirty work. H was either riding in the Jeep or doing paper work. his assintance(SP) used to handle the animals
At 1:16...what IS that??? Bottom right, in the water. I remember seeing this as a kid and it blew my mind...it still does. Does anyone know wtf this is???
I am so glad I finally found this clip. My father is in it at the 1:08 position of the video! He is the guy with the black glasses and orange shirt!

Hearing the opening theme music - it was as if I heard it yesterday - such great memories!
Same here!!! Loved that music!!! I can still hear it in my sleep occasionally!!!
The theme song brings back fond memories of watching these wonderful shows on a Sunday afternoon/evening with my family.

I'm an 90s kid its my 1st time seeing this & my mom's an 70s born She was 2 when this came out
I never noticed growing up watching this, there are variations of the intro. That's cool.
Very interesting, thank you for the video.
I heartily concur !!
@@jubalcalif9100 Did you ever watch this show?
I used to watch it in the 80's (maybe early 90's?) and loved it.
Wonderful memories!
I have a notion to second THAT emotion !
Indeed! No argument from this corner!
Wow. I remember this so well. Sunday nights at 6 pm, on CBC (back when it had good programming) was Disney night.
Oh wow! Lots of memories here! Of course this show goes back a bit further than this.

Wow that's was only on NBC television network for 1969 for 50th years ago man your really little
Yeah, I was so glad to find it! I searched and searched for it and finally found it.

Interesting...I've *never* seen the intro for this version before, cool! I guess I'm used to the version that was aired on Vault Disney....
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL just Like I forgot about it. i remember "Now you see it now you dont"
This opening I do not recall ever seeing. I have one opening on several commercially sold VHS tapes of the WWoD series with the same music but different visuals.
I wish they would put these all on rerun.

I remember this used to come on every Sunday night at 7pm. If you were a kid back then this was THE show to watch in those days :)
This year original announcer Dick Wesson died in 1979, as Ron Miller pay tribute to him.
I remember the movie started without the usual film intro which was kind of nice without just sitting through produced by set designer assistant director technical advisor and etc until the movie started.
1:00 That deer wasn't taking his shit.
Back then when my sister and I were 3 years old our parents watched Dumbo on NBC. This is the Disney we know and love not the garbage tv programs.
This was one of my favorite shows right up there with please don't eat the daisies I would settle down and enjoy it to no end the saddest part is when it was over and I adored watching Tinkerbell fly over the castle
Loved it, but I seem to recall being disappointed when the movies turned out to be in two parts. Had to wait a week to see how Old Yeller ended...
Yes ! Since it was an hour show, they had to break up those feature films. Bummer....
Family used watch this back to back with the Muppet Show.
1979,to be exact.Renamed Disney's Wonderful World in Mid September of that year.Lasted for two seasons.
Actually, I did save a copy to disc. That scene in the Disney Intro is the only scene with my Dad in it. He was just in the right place at the right time! I was still an infant, so I don't remember being there.
THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY.

I *very* vaguely remember that.
I used to watch this every week. But boy, did I get upset when they showed anything that wasn't animated. Guess I was just a cartoon lover.
I preferred the animated Disney shows as well, but I still watched the live-action ones.
Talk about stirring some feelings. Wow
That's right. Good ol' Marlin Perkins!
I fondy recall Marlin Perkins from his long running syndicated TV show "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" ! It aired all thru my childhood & teen years of the 60s & 70s !
It is the Contemporary Hotel in the opening. I used to be a cab driver over in the Magic Kingdom area at Disney World.
Hardly ever watched this, as a boy. I hated it came on Sunday nights. Always went to Sunday night Church services, with my Parents and missed it.
Thank you :-)
The castle must have been the one that was in the first one since it had it in the last one.
NBC Channel 5 at 6pm in Chicago in the 70s,after WGN Family Classics with Frazier Thomas!

Sadly, "Apple's Way" was a short lived series. 😞
Was it ever explained why the twin American sisters in "The Parent Trap" (played so well by Hayley Mills) spoke with a British accent ?
@SeanElGatoTelevision Thanks for the info! Again, I didn't know that there were several versions of title sequences! :)

I was maybe 6 yold when I look my first disney during the 80's and since, I want to find this slide. :-)

It is a preview of the upcoming show which was a repeat of the movie the Parent Trap.
It might be the Polynesian Resort, but I may be wrong.

My condolences to Alley Mills in the loss of husband Orson Bean.
Simplesmente magnífico
0:00-0:10 25th Anniversary ident for The Wonderful World of Disney
I think it's Mickey's voice actor Wayne Allwine on drums in the opening theme.
The announcer was Dick Tufield who did the voice of the Robot on Lost in Space
Dick knew how to put Dr Smith in his place !!
Very cool.
Way before Aladdin made the Disney scene in 1992, followed by The Parent Trap (the remake with Lindsay Lohan) in 1998.
That stag went HAM on that lion doeeee
Now stay tune for chips next on nbc
I remember seeing that too! CHiPs aired an hour later in Canada. WWOD was on at 6 pm, and CHiPs came on at 8.
Apparently it won't let me post CZcams links, but this is the intro I was talking about: type in "1970's Opening Theme to The Wonderful World of Disney" in the search box; it's by a user named LoreneFaith.
Who's the voice actor who says "Welcome to the wonderful world of disney!"???????
+Mike Boland Dick Wesson...He commited suicide in 1979.
The announcer who replaced Dick Wesson was Gary Owens, the voice of Space Ghost and the Blue Falcon from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series.
I just found that out about a week ago :(
So sad. Amazing voice. Thanks though.
You mean Gary Owens of "Laugh In"?
@@silvereagle2061 Yes, that one.

Wow, I'm 8 again!!
At 1:16...what IS that??? Bottom right, in the water. I remember seeing this as a kid and it blew my mind...it still does. Does anyone know wtf this is???
They cut the sappy opening sung by Annette Funechello.
Okay, so I saw *another* TWWOD title sequence used from 1978-1979... just how many title sequences were used in the 1969-1979 incarnation??
That seems to be before 1979. More like 1970?🤔
@pardyhardly Isn't she? She's not a mosquito
One kid was made to watch 60 Minutes
Holy crap! Look at the Polynesian!
the kid at 0:33 If he In that time is 10 year old now he is 50 year old wow
Not right. The movie was made in 1961. This aired in 1979. If Haley Mills was 10 in 1961 she would be 68.
I didn't remember seeing a whole ass murder on the intro 👀
I thought this was supposed to be on the Mandela effect list. Lol
