Walt Disney World 12th Birthday Button Epcot Center Horizons

This month marks the 30th Anniversary of the opening of the classic and much missed Epcot Center attraction Horizons.  Horizons officially opened October 1, 1983 coinciding with the 1st Anniversary of Epcot Center and the 12th Anniversary of Walt Disney World.  As in years past, a button was released for Walt Disney World’s 12th Birthday.  Pictured below, the Horizons 12th Birthday Button is a white plastic button painted on the front in light blue [raised areas] with a glued on pin clasp on the back.  The back also reads (c) 1983 Walt Disney Productions.  Long Live Horizons!  More Horizons posts to come this month. 

 

Walt Disney World Opening Name Tag

When Walt Disney World opened in 1971, most cast members were issued a very simple and somewhat small name tag.  As seen below, the opening name tag is a thin plastic oval with a white surface adhered to a red plastic oval. The cast member’s first name was engraved into the name tag appearing red due to the red plastic used for the name tag.  The oval outline and original WDW Mickey ear logo is in black paint.  A pin clasp was glued onto the back.  This particular version of the name tag was used from 1971 until the mid 1970s when the bicentennial American on Parade name tag came into use.  Not all cast members used this name tag, but it was the most common during the early years of Walt Disney World.
