Memories of disneyworld past

[yankspy]

I miss the teriyaki burgers at the Adventureland Veranda.

I miss The Village at Lake Buena Vista with the old playground where Lite Bite used to be, and the Village Restaurant, Empress Lilly, and the Gourmet Shop.

I miss the old Firehouse on Main Street and Oscar Mayer as well.

I miss windows in Communicore/Innoventions.

I miss the lime green and light blue floors at the Poly.

Like many, I miss Horizons and World or Motion. Also, as may be indicated by my avatar I was amazed (and miss) the World Key terminals and main center. I thought it was so cool to make our dinner reservations by video phone to the reservationists.

WorldKey and others, I do remember being amazed in talking to a cast member via videophone in setting up dinner reservations inside Spaceship Earth.

Also miss Communicore East / West, watching TV from around the world via satellite on those mini-TV screens, the very cool poll show, and the ticker the scrolled outside of Communicore.

I miss World of Motion, the bird and robot post-show, and the cool Lean Machine. I fantisized getting one in the future.

Also miss the shooting range and superhuge video / game arcade in Contemporary's basement.

Also miss not seeing Roger Rabbit around the parks (even the Roger and Jessica pins are getting scarce).

Miss the old configuration of Pleasure Island with the west end stage and New Year's Eve fireworks EVERY NIGHT. I miss Pleasure Island in general, especially the Adventurers Club and Mannequins Dance Palace.

Heck, I miss the old Walt Disney Village, Empress Lily, the Village restaurant, and the unique wine shop (though I was not old enough to drink back then).

Also miss Chevy Chase and Martin Short in the Monster Sound Show.

Miss the old tram to and from the Swan and Dolphin to the International Gateway back entrance to EPCOT.

I miss the original backlot tour, especially the Roger Rabbit and Rocketeer set designs / vehicles. But it's nice to see the Rocketeer's jetpack on a shelf collecting dust in the new version of the backlot tour.

On a side note, recently returned from 3 days in Anaheim and had a great time at Disneyland Resort. It was nice to see stores / rides / things still in their places or returned to their former glory. World of Color is quite impressive but want to go back in 2 years after the upgrade at DCA is complete.

I miss the original Backlot Tour also.

Someone missed the policeman in World of Motion. Here he is. There is so much that was mentioned that I miss too. I really miss the original music that the attractions had when Epcot 1st opened. The Land is not the same without the Listen to the Land. In Imagination I loved Making Memories. Luckily you still get the music and listen to it.

The policeman I posted from World of Motion disappeared so I'm reposting him. If someone can tell why my picture disappeared I'd appreciate it.

It appears that you rearranged your folders in photobucket and forgot to update the link in your previous post.

I wasn't able to go to WDW until the late 90's/early 2000's, and even then I didn't appreciate it to the extent I do today. Nonetheless, the concept/the attractions/the premise of EPCOT has touched me like no other park could, and the fact that they have transformed EPCOT Center into current day Epcot is something I wish they wouldn't have done; things like Test Track and Mission: Space really get under my skin.

The Centorium at EPCOT was a much better store than Mousegears. It had 2 levels and a better variety of merchandise.

I miss their Christmas decorations from several years ago. Before, they had beautiful Christmas decorations all around the parks, not just in the entrance like now. They really used to give you the WOW factor.
