1981 Chinese Restaurant at the Entrance to Adventureland
My Darling Daughter saw this and asked why those boys were sitting at tables were Ariel and Eric Meet. I think the restaurant would have been nicer.

Because we were having lunch. It was a GOOD restaurant and back then there wasn't any really good Disney food.
It was kind of Chinese. I'd have to look up the name. Also there were fish in the water and they were checking out the fish. It was our favorite place to sit and have lunch. At that time the characters weren't in certain places and just walked around.

Thank you! I think that was around the time we had to put Disney on hold for a few years. It was educate the children or go on vacation.

These are all great! Anytime your taking a picture it's limited time at the moment but he picture help relieve that moment! I wish I could find our video and pics from 93 we stayed at Dixie Landings and the Poly that was one of my most favorite memories of my young life! It has been years since I have been back to WDW I can't wait ( been like 7 years) can't wait to get back making a trip back real soon! Again great photos everyone!

I got married in 1997. In 1996, I proposed to her in the castle..King Stefan's. In 1997, we went back for the honeymoon at Wilderness Lodge. My parents paid because we were dirt poor and I was just starting law school. I hated that cake looking facade for the castle..particularly being there on my honeymoon and wanting to see the castle the way it was when I asked her to marry meThis isn't my own picture and I know a lot of people hated it, but I thought the 1997 25th anniversary castle cake was AWESOME! I really wanted to go see it, but we opted to wait a year so we could experience Animal Kingdom. I wouldn't mind at all if they did something like this again!

You could have just imagined it a Disney surprise Wedding Cake...made specially for you. The whole place is based on imagination. You must have forgotten that.I got married in 1997.

Yeah, I don't think change is necessarily good. Good change is good...but not all change is good
Either way, it's not life-changing. I got over it, and I've lived a healthy well-adjusted life ever since

My son in law mentioned to me that they went there on their Honeymoon (I should have remembered that myself, cause I paid for it) and both he and my Daughter loved it. Coincidentally, I think I said you should have thought of it as a Wedding Cake the Disney built just for you, when I mentioned it to them, they both told me without prompting at any point or them knowing that I had mentioned anything on the boards, said..."We just figured that Disney made a Wedding Cake for us. We loved it" How's that for Father and Daughter similarities.

I don't know, I wasn't a fan of the castle cake but I thought it was hilarious when it got TPed.I love when they "dress up" the castles - it makes it a lot more exciting and interesting. They've been there for so many years, why not have some fun and get creative for a small period of time? I even loved what they did for the DL's 50th Anniversary:
I can kind of understand if you are traveling an insane distance (west coast of US or internationally) and may only have one opportunity to see it - you probably want it to be in its original state and not a cake lol. But for those of us who are lucky enough to go multiple times, it spices things up. I've seen it be a normal castle plenty of times enough already and will see it plenty of times more. The only thing I didn't like was the toilet paper for the opening of Stitch:
It was only for that one day but still, you're going to TP and graffiti your own building?!?! Not my style.
and I absolutely loved the gold trim make over as well. that's doing it right. Dressing it up for a special occasion without over-doing it in my opinion

It is the backside of SSE before the big cement things on the fountain.
This is the front of SSE without the big cement things up front. The classic entrance:
Beautiful pictures. I especially like the one with the monorail in front of SSE. Truly classic.

No apologies necessary. Threads like these deserve to get a bump every so often for more people to add more photos.

In honour of the bicentennial of the American Constitution, which was that year's big celebration throughout Disney World.
Yes kids, back when the MK was driven by character rather character-driven.
