I was there in 1982. Was my second trip to Disney World. This is my picture that was taken as a slide that my brother developed at home and mounted it. I later scanned these.

Time sure flies. My first trip wasn't until 1988, when there were only two theme parks. I do miss those guide books, compared to the one-page map we're given now. I'm feeling inspired to dig out some of my old Disney guidebooks and marketing materials.

No, but very well could have been! Same age, same era.

By chance, I just stumbled upon a box of late seventies pictures of the Disney Village and of me cosplaying a swamp hillbilly in the Lake Buena Vista waters. Including some Empress Lilly photos! But none featuring me and some interesting background or else I'd post some.

The simplicity of the old Disney Village had a tranquility that was so idealic. I often miss it.

The last time I was at my parents' house I randomly stumbled across a box filled with old Disney papers. There were some tickets dating back from at least the early 80s, some old park maps from different eras, and other various things like that. I think there was a paper menu from King Stefan's Banquet Hall from the early-mid 80s, and there may have actually been a few items from 1972. I know there was one WDW 25th anniversary item.

I'll have to find it again next time I'm there and put up photos of anything really interesting.
