Here is the first set of pics and a few vids of fans from Disney World. Many of them are repeats of the ones Andrew took, but some are different as well. At least it shows the fans are still there. The pics are kind of random, and in no specific order, but more so divided by parks. Magic Kingdom: First, the Casablancas at the Main Street Bakery, as well as the connected glass shop: Next, the few Originals and Hunter Sea Airs at the bus station, they were all Originals at some point. I have more pics of these in the second installment: An Original out side what I think is called Casey's Corner near Main Street: Original and HB Gazebo at the Tiki Room, all the fans here have the 60's bell canopies: Originals at the Country Bear Jamboree entrance: Regencies? and a HB Gazebo replacement: Also, before I forget to mention it, when we were going to the airport, the bus stopped at the Port Orleans and Saratoga Springs hotels. They have a LOT of Originals at those places, unfortunately my camera was stowed under the bus so I didn't get pics.

i see some blades are bent badley i wonder how that happens Itiots throwing stuff in the blades. I don't think there's a single fan in Disney World that doesn't wobble when turned on, except for the Fasco Great Rooms at the Grand Floridian Resort, but they're on high ceilings.

Wow NICE fans!
I was also wondering HOW a Casablanca Commodore could wobble that much. Especially that it seemed to be on low speed.
I toughed those Casablanca New Orleans were going slower than that on low speed. Because it Can't be their medium speed either.
The Original in the bus station have plastic pointed tip blades?? Sea Air blades perhaps?
The sky blue 5 bladed Original in the Tiki room is on Flickr.
Are the Originals in the Country Bear Jamboree weathered brick finish or just some brown ones that are weathered by the time or customized by the crew? The finish of the blades are odd too.
All these are in Magic Kingdom?

Nope, they're all brown, only the finish has weathered. All these are in Magic Kingdom? Yep.

An Original out side what I think is called Casey's Corner near Main Street: Did I mention that the blades were replaced sometime between 2003 and 2007? Regencies? and a HB Gazebo replacement: Nope, Emerson 42" 'summer night's.

I have a few random ones: Sea Air with 60's bell canopy at the Polynesian Resort's monorail station: At the Grand Floridian, Fasco Great Rooms. It looks like there are copies of the same pics, but they are on the first and second levels in the same formation. There were some on long downrods in the restaurant, but I couldn't get pics: That's it for now, I've gotta go to school!

Sea Air with 60's bell canopy at the Polynesian Resort's monorail station: The sea air looks very odd with the old original canopy. You probably saw TONS of hunters and hampton bays with those "60's bell canopies".. just keep in mind what USED to be there.. nice, ancient 60's R&M originals with rounded switch housings and levolier pullchains.. it's a damn shame none of them exist any longer.

I see lots of those Sea Airs in public places..
Anyway, love all of the originals. Despite the poor abused ones with bent blades.
The great rooms look awesome. I have never actually seen a great room in person. They look huge, and these ones don't appear to be messed with.
