I rediscovered this old poster/map from 1982 that I thought you folk might get a kick out of. This is a large poster, approximately 3'x4', that hung on my bedroom wall growing up.

Note the attractions that weren't open; Horizons has a note indicating (Opening October 1983), and The Living Seas and Equatorial Africa just indicate (Future).

You can click through to my flickr set with closeup shots.

Wow...that's great stuff. I have asked my parents if they can find pictures from my first trip to WDW back in '86. I'll have to post a few of them once I get them scanned in.

That's pretty cool. I always think about how much was lost from old EPCOT to new Epcot, but attraction-wise, the count is about the same.

They re-released something similar to this during EPCOT's 25th Anniversary. It was very nice to look at...How I wish EPCOT was still called EPCOT Center.

Great picture srik!

Great find there! It both sucks and is nice to see old rides that I'd never get a chance to experience.

I loved the old detailed drawings of the attractions that used to go on these maps. Like how you can see the little cars for WoM? That's cool. I also like that it said the park was "inspired by" Walt's dream and not representative of it. They seemed more honest back in the day.

Very cool find.

Love it! I love seeing pictures and maps from back in the day!

That's awesome, definately a treasure that you should hang on to. I agree, it's hard to see the old attractions that were favorites that don't exist anymore.

Thanks for sharing with us though!

Glad everyone is enjoying this!

I have one from Magic Kingdom - circa 1987, that I'll try to upload next week.

Wall maps are great. Sadly they don't sell them anymore. They should really bring them back.

WOW! Great find! You need to keep this, it maybe worth some money some day!

Very cool. I love how it's got Equatorial Africa in the World Showcase.

Ahh, that brings back memories! Thanks for sharing it

How cool - thanks for sharing. Somewhere back at the old homestead, I'll bet my family has guidebooks from every WDW park from 1971-1999. Someday I'll find them...someday.

That is awesome. I, too, love seeing the older things from WDW. It's amazing where we have been and how far we have come. I think we all yearn for those former days. It is neat that it included Equitorial Africa in WS as well Horizons and The Living Seas. I have a "preview book" from prior to EPCOT Center's opening and it lists that Israel and Spain are future attractions in WS in addition to Eq. Africa. I wonder where they were planning to put those pavilions?
