Pictures of things No Longer Seen at WDW

[pixiesprite]

After Disney retired the ticket books, and before it converted to the paper tickets that got scanned at the turnstiles, your admission ticket looked like this. Each day upon arrival, the CM would stamp your ticket with that day's date. You would wear the ticket dangling from a string tied to a belt loop.

Those crazy date stamps were rarely straight And a few years later they brought out the tickets where you had to go to the kiosk on your first day and get an atrociously grainy picture of your good self put on the paper ticket. I think some of ours must be floating around at home somewhere, probably best they stay hidden - I don't recall those photos being overly flattering!

Ah I found one online.... it must have been one of these we had - an 8 day world hopper - with the tiny lines for those crazy date stamps to stamp all over and your little face would be printed in the mouse head.

Easier to store and keepsake rather than the 15 magic bands I have to date!

Does anyone have pictures from the show they used to have in Mickey's Birthdayland? I can still remember the song they used to play!

Legend of the Lion King at Magic Kingdom. I really liked that show.

I was going to post this if no one else did. Loved watching that show as a kid. Last time I saw it I was probably only 9 or so. Wish it was still there

This one makes me so sad. I loved that darn club!!

Here are a few pictures from the Back Lot tour of the homes. This was all replaced with Lights, Motors, Action! Show.

From AllEars.Net: It's interesting to note, the Golden Girls premiered on September 14, 1985. The Disney-MGM Studios didn't open until May 1, 1989. Although Disney may have filmed one or two exterior shots of the house in Florida for the TV series, the home used in the vast majority of exterior shots was located in Brentwood, California and filmed in mass at the beginning of the series. The tram tour conveniently left this fact out and insinuated that this was THE Golden Girls house.

Another from modern times.

The hub and rose garden.

We get to see the new version of the hub in early 2016. I will have to make due with enjoying Disney here for the time being.
Looking forward with a smile!



Edit: forgot the picture... There it is!

I had no idea TMNT were Disney characters at one point! They are some of my favorites!

I may get angry looks, but I liked the castle cake, and I think it has everything to do with the fact that the first time I saw the castle in person, it was the castle cake. Great memories for me.

SOOOOO wish I could have seen this! I think we would have liked it better than MSEP. Unfortunately, MSEP has pretty much been a one and done for us.

Spectromagic was so amazing, we were lucky enough to catch it once more in 2002 when it came back for a while. I would happily watch that every night of a vacation. And the music!!!

My hubby is the same, the castlecake was his first view of the castle and he loves it for that!

Here's a treat for you.....

Castlecake from Main Street (with the beautiful trees each side)

Happy that this one is gone...

Yeah, they were around Streets of America in the 90s when things like the below existed as well. hehe

The Viking ship at Norway.

 

[Ratpack]

Hated to see this go. They really did have some cool sounding music.

Some vintage Streetmosphere characters from 2005. From left to right: Francis Floot, Patty O'Malley, Dame Sadie, Captain Sideman, Al Dante. I don't think any of them are still part of the cast.

I loved this ride.

When it was still Disney MGM Studios.
