I miss World of Motion at Epcot. It was one of the last big projects designed by Disney legend, Marc Davis and it had Marc's sense of humor from start to finish. Also, it had (in 1982), the largest cast of AA's ever assembled in a Disney attraction. For me, the most disturbing thing about gutting the building and putting in that parking garage called Test Track was that the destruction was done while Marc was still alive.

I miss Motion
The original future world
The Skyway
20,000 leagues
The original train station in Frontierland
If you have wings - free attraction in the 70's days and so cool during the hot days
the music for Listen to the Land when you rode the attraction
The 50 cents parking back in the 70's
The topiaires that use to be all over even on the side of the rodes on property
The radio station when you drove on Disney property
Being able to walk up to a restaurant in the morning and make reservations for lunch or supper - not having to do advanced reservations months ahead of time.
Not all the space taken up with stroller parking
The characters roaming around
Citrus growers sunshine terrace - it was right when you came out of the Tiki Birds and you could get orange swirls,etc and there were tables and stools where you could sit and enjoy your food purchases
The chinese restaurant in Adventureland right by the bridge.
The chowder in one of the restaurants in future world. It was so good so of course they quit serving it years ago.
I'm sure I'll think of more.

I miss seeing characters just walking around the parks instead of standing in a designated area that you can read all about in a Times Guide. Running into your favorite characters by chance was part of the magic for me as a kid. I get why they can't really do it that way anymore, but it's too bad they had to change it.
I miss Concourse Steakhouse at the Contemporary. Nothing like having a really good steak dinner and watching the monorails go by. That was essentially my happy place back in the day. Contempo Cafe is fine, but counter service food isn't the same. Those were really good steaks...
I miss the majority of the original Future World at Epcot. I wish they'd bring back the real Imagination ride more than anything, but Future World was so much fun with Horizons, World of Motion, and even just the last version of Spaceship Earth.
Just a few thing on my list so far.

Could they ever bring back Toad just based on all the nostalgia it seems to create?
Also, as for Pirates I seem to remember even just a couple years ago that the "wenches" got chased and then chased the Pirates back. Not just one sided. I don't know I guess it doesn't really matter.

I've never understood their method to making Pirates a more politically correct ride--if you're going to leave the "Buy a Bride" scene in, what's the point of making the women chase the men? Not that I would ever want them to take that scene out or change it, but it always seemed like the most obvious non-PC part of the ride, and what they changed was more tame by comparison.

I don't think Disney cares about nostalgia. That's why other missed attractions are gone.
But if they decide not to do that Princess Meet and Greet replacing Snow White,they could always put Mr.Toad there.

While I understand and agree with the desire for the return of some classic atttractions, like Mr. Toad, Kichen Cabaret and some others.
I can certainly say, Boy I miss... the Tiki Goddess, Iago, and Zazu in the Tiki Room. They at least put some energy into the show/attraction. The return to the old show makes it just boring and a sleeper IMO.
Had seen the show many times in original form way back then.

you should try coming to a disney store in the uk then. nothing but childrens stuff, except maybe some mugs... it's annoying because the online american disney store has so many things i would love to have, but at a $20 delivery fee! annoying.
