Then vs. Now: Your observations

[ChubbyK]

Then : Mr. Toads Wild Ride
Now :The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

Then: well themed but under-developed Mickey's Toon Town.

Now: well themed New Fantasyland including Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Journey of the Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales with Belle, and the Be Our Guest restaurant.

toon town to my knowledge is only at Disneyland and Disneyland never had the mine train so are you comparing two very different areas in two different parks?

Epcot was educational but cool when I was a kid. Now it's a place to go on a couple of rides and walk around drinking. Maybe it was always that but I saw it through a different lens when I wasn't an adult.

Back then you had fewer (none) empty-non-used buildings (think: Diamond Horseshoe, the Tomorrowland Terrace which I've only seen open once in the last 10 years - sure - you can buy your cupcake/fireworks party there but it used to be a restaurant). .

I dont understand that Why then there were less people going to the parks but more restaurants open and now that the amount of guest continue rising day by day the restaurante has to close because of cost reduction... It does no make sense... They can be that cheap

Then: Live show at Diamond Horseshoe

Now: Empty stage with $35pp food.

I'm not sure what this means. As far as I know, the show is going on just like it always has.

There hasn't been a show there since early 2003.

Ahhh, Diamond Horseshoe. I was thinking Hoop De Doo. Sorry bout that.

 

[mf1972]

then: used to be able to sit at the tomorrow land terrace & watch the nighttime fireworks while avoiding the crowd.

now: you can still sit at the tomorrow land terrace & watch the nighttime fireworks while avoiding the crowd if you pay for the dessert party

Now:

I interpret that as Goofy asking "What's the point of sugar-free candies?"

Near Then: a fantastic fire breathing dragon on Festival of Fantasy Parade
Now: A fantastic fired breathing dragon on Festival of Fantasy Parade

FTFY

 

[The Pho]

Then: A ridiculous lack of The Rescuers (some meet and greets don't do it)
Now: A ridiculous lack of The Rescuers

Oddly enough, last time I was in Wilderness Lodge a couple months ago there was a bunch of Rescuer Down Under stuff.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Now: Hollywood Studios - a celebratory theme park of Star Wars and Toy Story and whatever was left from MGM, but mostly Star Wars

Something wrong with that?

Now:

They still have the regular ones. Sugar free is a nice option for those that can't have the regular ones, like diabetics.

Ah! My bad. I thought they changed the packaging on all of them to look like the shrug emoji Goofy.

Remember guys! Everyone has their own opinion on things. You might like something that someone else hates or the opposite. Be kind peeps, pretty please!

Stitch is coming back for his revenge!....Seriously, that is creepy as all get out!

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Something wrong with that?

I didn't say there was. That's just my observational opinion.

 

[TwilightZone]

Where does that picture come from??? is it really from stich great escape??

Yes, all the animatronics were left in this state and supposedly sent to trashland. Really sad.
