Yea, Pink original. I think these are now white HB gazeebos? Oh yes I remember this place in particular with the late 1960s Originals. It's a sorte of outdoor gazebo restaurant. I went there in November 2000 and this spot look exactly like this with the same fans and same light fixtures but all painted in light blue instead of light pink. Your 1988 pictures are awesome! Wish I had pics of the fans too when I went in 2000. I saw most of those Originals. The antique brass Lady Deltas in the stroller place at the entrance in Magic Kingdom were almost brand new installed when I went there. They were all spinning super fast and perfectly without any wobble or damaged blades. Most of the blue painted late 1960s Originals were still there but on the verdge to be replaced. Most of them were in very bad condition.

I've seen these fans in person Why bump a three year old thread just for that? Not to back-seat moderate or anything, however this is just ridiculous!

I assume these are the modern version of the Gazebos, not the older ones with the pretzel brackets? Hmm.. by after almost 3 weeks i will be in disney world in LA, looking forward to see fans there!! Hopefully there will still be a few good ones left worth seeing. If there are, take some pictures or videos! Why bump a three year old thread just for that? Not to back-seat moderate or anything, however this is just ridiculous! No back-seat moderating, Max!

Sorry everybody I have the flu and I feel terrible so I'm so sorry for acting this way. And yes they are the gazebo II also they have all these new Hunter fans as well. This is a 2012 update as that's the last time I was there.

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 actuall just got 7 of the R-52 hunters that used to be in the tiki room que area. They came with the newer styled canopies (which probably can with the new originals when they bought them). The guy who I got them from says they were taken down after hurricane Floyd in 1999. Motors have seen better days but as of now I have 4 of the 7 running and awaiting cosmetic repair. Sadly none had their blades (assuming they broke off during the hurricane and are long gone)

You acquired fans from Disney World? I didn't even think that was possible!
IDK if anyone mentioned this yet, but the Lady Deltas at the Magic Kingdom entrance were replaced with Hunter Beacon Hills reusing the Lady Deltas' light kits. Also, one of the Casablanca Commodore Vanderbilts (the one pictured, to be exact.) was removed. All that remains of it is an empty Hang Tru canopy.
