Things that used to be ...

[Disnee4Me]

I was cleaning out my dresser and found buried on the bottom a photo taken in 1981 (or 83) with my nephew and his then girlfriend in old fashion costumes. Also have one taken in 1991 with my DH and DS, age 16 months. I wonder why they stopped taken those. And they took them in color, but I would have preferred sepia. I guess it was time consuming for guests to change into costumes???

I remember those kinds of photos we used to get at fairs and amusement parks. You never see them anymore. Maybe its more because of sanitary reasons. Who wants to put on clothing a hundred sweaty guests have changed in and out of ?

Funny thing is, to my knowledge, nobody ever died from the exposure. We worry about things way too much.

Smaller parks still in fact have those types of experiences.

Disney's MGM Studios even had one.

I think with Disney Photopass kind of killed it. They know they make big bucks off of people buying the every day photos. And as far as sanitary based reasons go, you get more sweaty germs from handlebars, restraint systems and queue railings than you would from those things.
