Pat Connor graciously donated this 1982 recording to Widen Your World several years ago. It was the ride's tenth, and second-to-last, year of operation.
My uncle used to drive those swan boats ( If only he worked at Disney today.. I think he got fired though.. ) I wish that ride was still there, alonng with the other old rides!
Simply put : We all should have been born when MK opened xD
Cool Cool Cool. I hope you are archiving this stuff digitally. There have been so many changes to the park through the years, these videos are like a time capsule.
@coasterjudge Wow I feel really stupid! Lol
I overlooked the obvoious
I thought it wasn't even an attraction like maybe it was a restaurant or something. I wasn't thinking BIG enough! :)

@fattyboomboom54 It wasn't just one attraction, it was a whole new park! Epcot opened on october 1st 1982.

So what was he talking about?
What attraction would have opened in October of 1982?
Anyone know?

It's amazing how much WDW has changed. Walt always said that his parks would always be changing.
