Interesting how this looks older than it is—from its mention of Disney World, it has to be more recent than 1971, yet it looks pre-early-60s. Also interesting is it describes Cape Kennedy/Canaveral as the "Gateway to the Moon"... while displaying a V2.

Ya, I know Disney World opened in '71, so my best guess for this card was mid-'70s.

I always thought Queensland was the sunshine state. Gosh, florida is stealing *everything*. First "Miami", now "the sunshine state". What next: pinapples?

Not sure of the exact year. No postmark or publishing data on the card. My best guess is mid-'70s since there's mention Disney World which opened in 1971.
