Rondo Remembers: John Lennon, Disney, and The Phantom!
It was 1974 between Christmas and New Year's Day. Where was I? My grandparents, my parents, my sister, and I were at Disney World. These were the early days of Disney World...only the Magic Kingdom was there. No Epcot, Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom.
Disney wasn't wall-to-wall people like it is today. This was Christmas break for schools and yet people were not shoulder-to-shoulder on Disney's Main Street USA. The picture above is at the corner of the top end of Main Street. You couldn't take this picture today, at that location, and not see MANY people in the background. And...what was THAT? The Phantom of the Opera at the table. It was me. My grandfather had bought that mask for me at a magic shop that existed back then on Main Street USA. Naturally, I wore it a bit in the park.
In the photo, left to right: my maternal grandmother (with arm in sling), my dad, my sister pointing out my goofiness, my mom with ice cream cone, and The Phantom (a 13-year-old me). Photo by my grandfather.
I believe I covered this in the book FLASHBACK...but I didn't tell everything! Read on...
We got to ride a monorail and thought "heck, the future was here!" It was like something I saw in the movie THIS ISLAND EARTH. I can't remember why, but there was a monorail ride that just my dad and I were on at one point. Not sure where the others were. I overheard all this chatter from others on the raised rail ride. Everyone was talking about Beatle John Lennon being in the park.
I know what you're saying...what would someone like John Lennon be doing at Disney World? I don't think my dad took it seriously. But, me being a total Beatle fan was then on the look-out for the rest of our stay there. Sure enough there was a brief moment when I got to see John Lennon. No, I didn't talk to him, or even get too close. If you're familiar with Disney World, I was on the ramp leading to the Carousel of Progress waiting for the rest of the family. They were probably on the spinning tea cup ride (something I never cared for). I was just waiting in the warm Florida sun. I saw a crowd gather about 30 feet out from me. There he was signing autographs as a crowd around him got larger and larger. Realizing what was going on, I headed that way, but the crowd quickly dispersed as Lennon and a few people who were with him made a quick exit from the fans.
Alas, I didn't get to meet him. But, I saw him and that memory stayed with me for years. I would tell many over the years about my close encounter with John Lennon at Disney World. The reaction was almost always the same. "John Lennon, at Disney World? Naw, he would never go to Disney World!" I heard that for years. But, I knew it was him! Then, fast forward to the 1990s and I was loaned a book called "Loving John" by May Pang. May was John's appointed "girlfriend" for almost two years while he was estranged from Yoko Ono.
In that book, there is the proof I needed to vindicate myself to all those that scoffed at me about Lennon being at Disney World. There are photos in the book and a description of that trip Lennon had to "The Mouse." He went there and his entourage was May Pang, some close friends, and his son from his first wife, a young Julian Lennon. While on vacation there, Lennon stayed at the Polynesian Village Disney Resort. It was there that the final papers were signed to dissolve the business partnership of The Beatles. Yes, The Beatles hadn't worked together since 1970, but the business partnership wasn't dissolved until the last Beatle signed the papers, which John did at the Polynesian...at Disney.
In 2014, my wife Ursula, along with my daughter Paisley, and I were at Disney World. It was the 40th anniversary of Lennon and May Pang being there. Afterwards I Facebook messaged May Pang and mentioned that I was there, where she had been with John Lennon exactly 40 years ago. I was surprised that she messaged me back and said that that was so cool.
Well, this has gone too long. This ol' monster movie fan and Beatles fan spent a Christmas holiday wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask roaming Disney World and seeing a Beatle in 1974.

Some nice comments that came in on our Creepy Phone Line's voicemail:
"Dude, this book is spectacular! I love it sooo much." - Danny Roebuck (Dr. Shocker)
"Rondo, wow, this book is great. I see so much cool stuff I remember. Frisbees, Silly Putty, FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine I got as a kid, the firecrackers, and the monsta movies, Yeah." - David "The Rock" Nelson
...and coming in on email:
Dear Ron, I'm just writing to finally deliver my review of Flashback.... and it's great! Lovely, lovely memories in there. I especially enjoyed the bits where you talked about collecting rare, underseen films in the '80s (however brief those sections were). And, of course, it's always lovely to read a four-page analysis of the vast nightmare that is K. Gordon Murray's SANTA CLAUS. Great work! I eagerly anticipate a sequel following another 20 long (possibly harrowing) years of Monster Bash Magazine.
Take good care, and I'll see you at the next Monster Bash Conference,
