1982: Walt Disney World - Part 1

My second trip to Disney World was in the Summer of 1982 with my wife, Helena, and daughter, Selene. Disney World was celebrating it's 10th Anniversary, and Epcot Center was scheduled to open later in the year. Space Mountain, the Astro-Orbiters, the WEDway People Mover, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad were all new additions to the Magic Kingdom since my 1973 visit.
