I started sharing vintage images from the Marketing Resource Center almost one year ago today here on the Disney Parks Blog. My very first post was a construction photo of Mexico Pavilion in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
I thought it would be fitting to share a look at the Mexico Pavilion again, as Cinco de Mayo approaches this weekend. Here’s a look at the Mexico Pavilion prior to opening in May 1982.
While the area has seen a few changes over the years (El Gran Fiesta Boat Tour, La Hacienda de San Angel), the same pyramid has greeted guests entering the World Showcase since opening day.
For anyone visiting Epcot this Cinco de Mayo (and are of legal age), have a margarita for me to toast another year of Vintage Walt Disney World posts to come.
