What a great issue of Vacationland. Until you posted one recently, I didn't know that WDW had it's own version....but it makes sense that they would. And yes, Liberty Square was a substitute for NOS. They felt that Florida was already close enough to the real New Orleans. I like how the park wasn't an exact carbon coby of Disneyland. I wish they would give each park their own unique attractions today....it would give me a reason to go to Orlando more often.

Walt Disney World got its very own "Square", was this a substitute for New Orleans Square, both have their own unique charms.

I love that magazine map, if only the souvenir wall maps for WDW were as fun and well designed.
The Andrew Jackson AA figure has a silly look on his face; the other president (Tyler?) has dead black eyes.
