Attractions you think you remember?

[HolleBolleGijs]

I swear I distinctly remember "Kitchen Kabaret" from when I visited the parks as a child. But, I recently had the soul-crushing realization that it closed when I was about a month and a half old...so I probably just remember the visuals of "Food Rocks" and the audio from KK that I have on a CD. But I'm still devastated. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

The maelstrom waterfall effect! I too thought it went out much further! LOL

I also just came to the realization when doing my DL pre trip report that I had thought I saw a parade at DL, but it was actually a WDW parade!

These things happen to me all the time, lol. For some reason when I was younger I thought you had to go underground to get to Journey into Imagination, maybe because you had to go under an awning or something, but otherwise I don't know why lol.

Maybe you just got it mixed up with the "Hydrolators" at The Living Seas.

That was probably it, thank you.

I kind of get that feeling when I think about Honey I Shrunk the Audience (and I guess Captian EO?), because (I think) there's a long pathway that's under an awning, so it feels like you're underground.

EDIT: I think I'm making that up, too.

Yeah, I have that same feeling.

For some reason, I "remember" from when I was younger, me eating a peanut butter sandwich at a picnic bench(not important to that story) right next to the Snow White Scary Adventures building, on a big bridgne that goes over a LONG river, over to Adventure land....

 

[DisneyJunkie]

I'm pretty sure that at one time, when you were in the queue waiting to board Snow White's Scary Adventures that when you looked up at the tower window (where the queen was standing) that the drapes would close once and when it opened it was the queen, and when it did it again, it was the witch. I'm positive that happened but stopped after a short while until eventually the drapes stopped closing....period....and it was only the queen standing there.

I watched Disney's Wonderful World of Color TV shows and dreamt of one day going to WDW. Watching and dreaming so much that when I did go as an adult I could swear I had experienced some of it before. The mind can take you places youve never been before, and implant experiences youd swear you had had with slight alterations mixed in. Going on PotC the first time I thought of other scenes that simply were not there and had never been.

In a reverse, I could have sworn that the first time I rode Expedition Everest that the Yeti was moving and swooping down at the cars. When I rode it again, it was just kind of there so I thought I had remembered incorrectly. It wasn't until I started posting here on a regular basis that I realized the Yeti issues and how it had been moved to B-mode. I guess I was lucky that I saw it working fully during that visit.

I think I need a T-shirt for that.

Yes you are right.

I'm kind of the same way actually, except for me I thought it was still moving a bit the second time I rode it. Meaning that the strobe light are doing their job. Who'da thunk?

 

[WondersOfLife]

I THINK I can remember the original living seas when I was a little kid... I hated it. Thought it was very boring. o_o

 

[angelahoward]

As a teenager, thinking back on the trips I took as a little kid, I would have insisted that Dumbo was on Main Street.

Since I've been going to Disney every year since I was born, I remember a couple of things.

I loved going to watch Food Rocks when I was little.

I loved the Wonders of Life pavilion, but the only thing I did there was watch the Goofy cartoons.

I'm not sure about this one, but since I only got to ride the original Imagination ride as a baby, I may vaguely remember the white room (though my parents have home videos of pretty much all of our Disney trips, so that might be it). But after that for some reason, I was too scared to ride it because I was scared of a scene where books came to life or something.

I too remember being bored on the Living Seas ride.

I remember being scared as a toddler of the loud fireworks at the end of El Rio de Tiempo.

And I may need a little help with this one, but I vaguely remember riding Spaceship with my dad and seeing Tv screens showing news programs and other things going down the descent, but I was too scared of going down backwards and falling to be paying enough attention. Does anybody know which version this was? I was born in '98 and have been going to Disney ever since then.

My DW insists we went on an attraction called Mission to Mars together. I cannot convince her that we didn’t. I checked, Mission to Mars closed in 1993 our first visit was 1994. She did a spring break trip with her sisters in the 80’s so she must have gone on it then.

Hi-jacking the topic for a minute and also referring at another recent post of mine. My sister insists that when we visited Disneyland in 1959 we ate at a fried chick restaurant. I told her no we ate fried chicken at Knott’s Berry Farm. There was a fried chicken restaurant at Disneyland at that time but Mom and Dad decided on Aunt Jemima’s Pancake House.

I vaguely remember from my visits to Disneyland as a child some dark ride in a boat with pirates and real sea creatures while under sea in the sub - "look Daddy, an octopus!". Went back years later as an adult - pirate ride MUCH different and those weren't real fishes in the water.

After our first trip in 1979 when I was 7, I was sure that MK was on an island. I mean, you had to take a boat or monorail to get there right? I was crushed years later when I learned the truth. Staying on property now, the buses directly to MK are very convenient but I do miss that approach from across the lake. I've taken the monorail around the lagoon a few times just for the experience.

I remember Star Tours not making me sick as a kid. Now I feel like Bantha Poo-doo everytime i ride it.
