Vintage color travel brochure promoting Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel at the Walt Disney World Village Hotel Plaza in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
Front cover features the Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel logo paired with the Walt Disney World Village Hotel Plaza branding above a full-color photograph of the high-rise Howard Johnson\'s resort reflected in a landscaped lake with lily pads and surrounding trees.
Back cover repeats the Howard Johnson\'s and Walt Disney World Village Hotel Plaza logos and presents stacked color photographs of the hotel tower, the Epcot geodesic sphere with monorail, and Cinderella Castle, each credited to Walt Disney Productions.
One interior panel headed We\'re where it\'s at! describes the hotel\'s location inside the Walt Disney World Vacation Kingdom on the internal transportation system with bus connections to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center, and notes nearby attractions such as Cypress Gardens, Kennedy Space Center, Circus World, Sea World, Busch Gardens, Florida\'s beaches, and the Orlando Jetport.
The same side includes a small road map locating the Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel near Interstate 4, the Walt Disney World exits, and major approach routes, with a printing credit to Great American Color Company along the lower edge.
Opposite interior spread showcases a large panoramic photograph of the Walt Disney World monorail gliding past the Epcot area, surrounded by smaller views of the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, and the surrounding hotel and lake district.
The reverse side opened flat is dominated by a central black panel of text about the Walt Disney World Vacation Kingdom and Epcot Center, describing the scope of the resort, its theme parks, shopping, dining, and entertainment, and emphasizing the advantages of staying at the Village Hotel Plaza.
Flanking panels display full-color photographs of Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel amenities including guest rooms and suites, pool and sundeck, restaurant and buffet spreads, lounge and bar areas, outdoor dining terrace, family activities, and meeting or conference facilities.
Additional interior copy highlights guest room features, on-site dining and cocktail service, recreational options, and services for international travelers, with Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel contact information listed as P.O. Box 22204, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 32830, along with telephone, toll-free, and telex numbers.
Branding throughout combines the Howard Johnson\'s Resort Hotel logo with the Walt Disney World Village Hotel Plaza identity, and several park images carry the copyright line Walt Disney Productions, making this an appealing piece for collectors of Walt Disney World, Epcot Center, Howard Johnson\'s, and Florida hotel and theme park travel ephemera.
