Color me apple green with jealousy. Fantabulous!
That Warren Platner furniture is divine; although I would be willing to bet that Paul Lynde would have designed great stuff too 🙂
LOVE THIS! Great report, makes me desperately want to visit! Speaking of min Tupperware, I remember when I was in grade school, a lot of girls who had mom’s in the Tupperare biz would have these mini covered bowls on a keychain. They would keep their ice cream money in them!
I saw the show Tupperware! back in 2005 – it’s fabulous!
I love the mini Tupperware keychains as well…are you going to tell us how many varieties there are?
Great article! I have such fond memories of my mother attending tupperware parties in the 1970s and coming home with colourful new things for us to use every day. I’ll be sure to put this on my list of places to visit next time I’m in Orlando!
what a wonderful tour! i will check it out as soon as possible 🙂
WOW! That looks like so much fun! I must go to there. Thanks for the tip! My in-laws live on the Gulf Shores. This looks like it is WELL worth the drive! (And Gatorland.)
Glad to see that it is still there. I was hoping the museum wasn’t torn down for a new hotel. When we lived near Kissimmee in the mid-seventies, the drive to Orlando past Tupperware seemed to go through the middle of no where, close to dirt roads. A small traveling carnival or circus would park for the winter near there, by a bend in one of the dirt roads.
I lived in Kissimmee in the early 1990’s and discovered the museum then. When my parents visited me we went to the museum every time. Back then they had all kinds of living situations set up that used Tupperware including fake food on the grill set up at the mock outdoor camping site – complete with a full camper. They also showed how Tupperware could be used as art and some pieces were in the thousands of dollars. I’m back in Orlando 20 years later and STILL want to visit the museum again. Nobody was there which made it a total joy to visit – considering all the tourists that go through the area. Long live THIS museum!
😀 My parents and I used to go around the same time. I remember the scene you spoke. I always loved going there. The museum was like visiting life-size barbie sets. It was a shame when they stopped giving the snack-sized bowls with lids. I used them for lunches and crafts through my childhood.
Do you still get to walk through the gardens? As a Manager many years ago, when they had Jubilees in Orlando, many trees, flowers & decorations in the gardens had our names on plaques. It’s been years, but I would love to find my name on those plaques again.
Practical comments ! Coincidentally , if anyone is interested a a form , my colleagues came across a template document here http://goo.gl/XTExFT
Oh I love to see this Museum 🙂 Im here in the Philippines as Independent Manager of Tupperware 🙂 such great treasures 🙂 Did they mentioned or seen the name of Ms. Brownie in the history of Turpperware? or in that museum?

by the way your photos (and copy) ROCK!
