Ah! Another 90s Disney nostalgia thread!

[Future Guy]

I only made two trips to WDW in the 90s, one to the MK in 92 (the last time I got to ride Mr. Toad and 20k, and the only time I experienced the old "Now Is The Best Time Of Your Life" version of the CoP) and one to EPCOT in '96.

The EPCOT trip is most memorable because it's the last time I got to ride Horizons and the one true JII. Innoventions was still fairly new then, and I remember not being too impressed with it, since the main innovation it showcased was the Internet, which I had been using every day at school for the past year. However, I did use it to dig up some spy photos from the then-in-production Star Trek: First Contact, and I got my first look at the bridge of the Enterprise-E and the reimagined Borg.

Most amazingly on that trip, our entire group of 12 got into Les Chefs de France with no ADR. These days, you've got a better chance of having your waiter be Michael Eisner dressed as the Fairy Godmother.

Ah, I was so young and idealistic then. I never dreamed that EPCOT would spend the next decade being unspeakably violated.

That was definitely the last golden age of Disney wasn't it?

This was my childhood:

Over, and over, and over again. I just got enough rewards points through Disney Movie Rewards and it's coming in 6-8 weeks on DVD. Can't wait

Wow, a lot of good flashbacks in this thread, inside and outside of the parks, and not to derail it, but does anybody else wish they would release DVD seasons of shows like "Duck Tales", "Rescue Rangers", "House of Mouse", etc.?? Doesn't necessarily have to a Disney Treasure set, but it'd be nice, especially how many straight to DVD movies have been churned out over the past couple of years.

Was it just me or did the Haunted Mansion section of terrify you? I hated those dancing trees! Also the Big Bad Wolf, Hag, Maleficent, Hook, and Donald tip toeing from pillar to pillar freaked me out. :lol:

Also, does anyone have the full version of Makin' Memories on the web? Like on a Youtube vid or something?

Yep, just run a youtube search. All there.:sohappy:

I remember when I was younger, I went on splash mountain for the first time and i said " I loved it! but im NEVER going on it again!"

 

[Tar Heel]

Up until a few months ago when we got out some old home videos, I had forgotten about the old giant inflatable characters. The 90's were also the first time my fam could afford to stay in an on property hotel. Up until then we had stayed at FW.

1. Going to my mall's Disney Store and just look around. The plush animals were great. :lookaroun
2. I, still having my Goofy and Donald figures. They are about 25" tall and have plastic heads and feet.
3. Watching all the classic Disney films from the 1990s, like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and The Lion King in my living room during the summertime.
4. Watching the Sing Along Songs and Disney Christmas VHS vids. This also included my first true look at DL. Which dates from 1997, and has a pretty retro Tomorrowland.
5. Tuning in to The Disney Afternoon. 'Nuff said.
6. Going to WDW and actually remembering the fun times in 1996. This includes the displays in OIA to the Castle Cake. Which I still like. :lookaroun
7. Going into Innoventions and only remembering an inordinate amount of lights and energy flowing throughout the building. If you ask what I actually remember from then, I will not be able to say. :lol:
8. My first stay at a WDW resort in 1998, which was All Star Sports, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Darkwing was the first character I met.:lol:


Yeah, I see the Island, too.

 

[BrerFrog]

Since I didn't go to the parks in the 90s I will go with all the amazing animations from Beauty and the Beast to Mulan.

I never got to meet him, but he was in the Disney Afternoon stage show in Mickey's Starland. Total kindergarten nerdgasm at the time!

I believe that the PI footage is of the West End Stage (which I believe was removed for the evil "West Side" addition.:fork:

 

[_Scar]

Yep, just run a youtube search. All there.:sohappy:

I checked.... nothin.


Oh and I thought the park on Disneyland Fun was Magic Kingdom. :/ I was disappointed there was no Matterhorn on my first trip to MK. :lol:
