I remember ....................

When you could buy grape juice in the Magic Kingdom from some of he beverage stands. Might not seem like much but I do remember it being quite delicious and haven't seen it being sold for years! Funnily enough I remember as a kid (over 35 years ago probably) asking for coke one particular trip when my dad said "What drink would you like?". Being a typical dad he then ruined my entire life when he noticed that they had other options including fruit drinks and decided that "I had too many fizzy pop drinks and would have to have a fruit drink that day as it was much better for me" (you may remember back in the 70's kids were dropping dead all over the place from drinking coke )

Ironically after having my trip ruined, I discovered it actually tasted very nice (to this day I've never admitted this to my dad) but can't remember it being sold for more than a couple of years. So what obscure things do you remember that no longer seem to exist?

You can still go through. They just close it off for stage shows.
