Some great old photos guys.

Nice stuff.


Martin- LOVE the construction pic. Is the plot of land that small?

I think that might have been the initial clearing. Maybe that was the majority of the actual park, but I think the entrance from World Drive over in to the parking area... there is no way that is all.

i loved doug.. ahh.. memories!

Is it just me... or does that life size version of Doug just creep you out. I would run from this if he approached me in the park.

This was a fun thread. I've been going to WDW since I was 3 and in the 90's is when I decided that I wanted to be in entertainment because of MGM Studios and Universal Studios. I loved all the behind the scened looks at real productions . MGM was amazing in the 90's. I'm now grown and I'm a performer at WDW as well as a Film major. I do miss the old park very much. I loved all the photos you all posted. I don't remember much of the Soundstage Restaurant but I did get the opportunity to roam around the old Catwalk Bar when I did a dance party shift at Playhouse Disney. Superstar Television gave me the chance of performing next to my Idol, Lucille Ball. The next year it was closed. When I was a trainer at Studios I would take my trainees backstage before Idol moved in and the spinning floors were still in place. I have yet to be all through the backstage sound stages but my bf worked at Millionaire and has said that backstage was full of MMC stuff. Just to think that I'm standing on the MMC stage when in line for Mania is awesome.

Great story Meg. Interesting to see a little background of how it influenced your life's path. :wave:

Hey guys! So I finally got around to going to my parents to scan some old pictures DHS is my favorite so I was excited to go through our photos. We went to wdw once when was young- in 1995. As I was going through my photos today though I didn't find a whole lot from DHS. It looks like we spend 3 days at MK, 2 at Epcot, and only one at MGM. Oh well. The quality isn't the best... the pictures themselves are fine so maybe its my dads scanner. Here are some pictures though!

What a view!

Toy Story Parade

Hollywood Mickey- I remember the line for him was really long and we didn't want to wait so my dad just zoomed in and cut out the family he was standing with. haha

From the Backlot Tour- I think this is Golden Girls house?

Also from Backlot, prop from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

And, my brother and I with a Steve Urkel cut out... not sure why we both look so miserable! (and yes I know I had sweet glasses)

Great pictures guys. I have got nothing to add, so I will just say: Keep those coming!

I love the Urkel cut out.

I love the Urkel cut out.

Thanks! We also had pictures of us with cutouts from the cast of Home Improvement. There was a big glare on them from the flash though so I didn't scan them.
