The only other thing I remember from the old Disney Village is sitting out on the patio eating a Mickey bar... that and the boat ride from Port Orleans (i.e. the half that didn't used to be Dixie Landings :lol: )

It was more or less a daily requirement that my parents take me there when we were on vacations. I used to love going there to play.

If you are asking about the sandbox, it was on the Marina side of the Captains Tower/Pin Traders.
Which logo do you prefer?
Wow. They're both fairly outdated.

The play structure was roughly between World of Disney and Ghiradelli are now (the giant Stitch would approximately be facing the playground) Sometime in the 90's the playground was replaced with the tall kaleidescope tower. That tower is now gone, and there's a small area in the pavement where you can tell it had been.
This whole discussion sounds VERY familiar... I know we've talked about this playground before... I'll have to do a thread search.
EDIT: Found it. Wasn't all that long ago, either. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=278989
(There's also a quick pic in that thread of the group of bushes in planters that marks the former spot of the kaleidescope tower)

OH! I tried to find pictures of the gigantic sandbox when I made this thread... Thanks for taking me back. I probably brought a few pounds of sand home with me in my shoes over the years.Bonus feature!

Been there, played there, many years ago. There was a pottery place near there where you could watch them make things. Loved that. There was also a bakery right there. One night at closing time they were selling all the cakes for $2.00. My dad bought one. It was huge. We have a picture of him carrying the cake. We thought we had hit the jackpot b/c we could never have afforded it otherwise. Funny what things stick in our memories.
