What do you miss from the old Disney parks???

[WDWmazprty]

What attractions, shows, food, etc. do you miss from going to the parks when you were younger?


I miss a lot, for example I miss Mr. Toads Wild Ride and getting Disney dollars to spend at the parks. Anyone remember those? Lol

 

[Figgy1]

I still call gift cards Disney dollars. LOL

Horizons. Benches. Trees. Longer operating hours. Actual "slow" seasons in the parks.

The little things.

We go every year in December, so I miss when the MVMCP wasn't so crowded. I also miss when the Osborne Lights were in the backlot area. I also really miss the lighted archway from Future World to the World Showcase in Epcot. To go positive for a second, I do like the main st lights mounted to the buildings instead of crossing the street. Makes for better Castle pics. I also miss when the dining plan was the Gold Plan. It just seemed more special with the Gold Card. They gave good perks also. The limited edition Cinderella print, seiko Mickey clock, and WL log cabin building blocks are just some of the gifts I remember getting with the Gold Plan.

Am I just naive? I thought they still sold Disney dollars

Yep they still make them...But, many people seem to take the Gift Card route..

Multiday tickets which were automatically non-expire.

The noexpire option altogether.

Ultraviolet hand stamps when park hopping.

Making dinner reservations with the televideo kiosks at EPCOT first thing in the morning.

Being 15 and allowed to roam the parks without adult supervision.

I miss Universe of Energy, Journey into Imagination, Horizons.

I feel like the QS burgers didn't use to suck so much....I miss that.

 

[belledream]

I miss SpectroMagic and the old narration of Spaceship Earth & TTA.

The older, cheaper prices

Amen!

I miss the previously less expensive prices and less crowded parks, especially the MK) of days gone by as well as I'm sure most of us do.

I also miss the Contemporary Resort Tennis Club, quality and resort or park specific souvenirs (my son was wearing a Polo shirt he got at the Contemporary 15 years ago and it's in better shape than a generic Mickey Polo I bought in 2013), the abundant and quality items at the Main Street Bakery, riding in the front of the monorail, not needing to make dinner reservations 180 days in advance and the previous GAC program (it worked well for those who needed it, but was horribly abused by many more).

I miss the time when quick service restaurants had unique menu's. The food overall has been on a long decline at Disney.

Characters roaming throughout the parks.

Does Alice,Mad Hatter, and Peter Pan count since they wander around Disneyland's Magic Kingdom?

Yes. Finding a roaming character in WDW is difficult. I've noticed Disneyland still has roamers.

River Country
The original froze bananas. They took the banana out, dipped it in chocolate, and then rolled it in nuts.

Still sour about Stitch taking over ExtraTERRORestrial Encounter...
