TMNT at WDW in the 90's

[Astrotrain]

I came across an old photo from 1991 taken during one of our WDW trips. I was 4 so don't remember at all (kid in the photo not me). Googled to see if they were actually at the parks and was surprised to find that they were.

Does anyone know where this photo was taken? (TMNT one)

Bonus photo from the same trip with the 20th anniversary candles.

The TMNT met in the Studios at the end of NY Street. The replica of the Washington Square Arch is seen in your photo.

Your photo was in the back hub Area of Streets of America where BlackSpire Outpost now stands..And yes they also did a small stage show/Meet & Greet.

That brings back memories riding the tram in the Backlot your at MGM.

That's really cool. I'm glad I asked, thank you. After 1991 I didn't go again until 2017 so it's not something I remember.

Baby Sinclair was still in the parks until recently. During the Osborne lights you could see him hanging out in one of the buildings looking out the window.

Who owns TMNT rights?

I fondly remember those MGM days and the Streets of NY. DS was a fan of those characters. They would put on a short show and then do a M&G. A few years later the Power Rangers did a similar stint there.

Could meet the Power Rangers too lol

Wonder if he's hiding in the outpost?
Ninja Turtles rights are owned by Eastman/Laird & Viacom which is why they are on Nickelodeon..

Nickelodeon bought the TMNT IP outright in 2009.

Ninja Turtles snapped up by Nickelodeon

Viacom's Nickelodeon is making a $60 million bet that the 25-year-old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has more left in the tank.

I would love it if Disney put Baby Sinclair in the Creature Stall or Dok Ondar's on Black Spire Outpost.

They would drive out in their turtle Wagon and do a little skit thing...

It was at the end of the street near where the backlot trams would run out into the mockups

My oldest son loved TMNT he still has a picture of him with the group

I'm still an enormous TMNT fan and have a huge collection of MIB TMNT's. I loved back in the day getting to meet them at Hollywood Studios and still have pictures of it from back then. I lived through the original phenomenon and was the perfect age for it and I don't know if there has been anything like it since honestly. Still an extremely passionate fanbase to this day and I can't see ever not being a TMNT collector for the rest of my life.

I remember meeting them and getting their autographs in 1993!

Nothing screams the late 80's more than this..
