I found the gold key card as well as a couple of other keys from the CR. They were from the early 90s.

Thanks for sharing. Those pics bring back such great memories of going there as a kid! I felt very grown up when I was allowed to carry around my gold key card!

Wow!!!! I am loving these...I couldn't for the life of me remember when the
castle was a "cake" so thank you for the year on the one photo. I hope to see more
soon....

Prior to Disney Visa, there were perks for using American Express when staying onsite. In the mid 90s you got a fanny pack at check in.

Flight of the Navigator ship on the Studios backlot tour (photo circa 1999):

Technically the Flight of the Navigator ship is still there. You could see it with a few of the other Backlot Tour abandoned props while waiting in line for Darth's Mall this last weekend(SWW). Sad.

My mother had one of those as well when she took us. I remember it vividly.

I have to admit that I am so missing the hub. Not sure why they thought it
would be better without it. I am short and I would stand up on the ledge by tree if no one was behind me
if there were, I would sit close to the front of the wall..

When looking through this thread, there are number of things that make me nostalgic. But the thing that makes me saddest is seeing the characters walking around and interacting with park guests. I remember the villains walking around and messing with kids and sometimes the heroes intervene. That was an integral part of the disney magic for me.

Make a trip to DisneyLand!! The characters roam freely, especially in the morning

On our last visit we played tag with Peter Pan and dueled with Hook after seeing him walk by and calling him a Codfish, had the Step Sisters "fight" over our 6 year old son (much to the delight of our 8 year old son and the dismay of Lady Tremaine), strolled with Merida as she walked to a greeting spot and saw many others and waved. Lots of fun!

There are plenty with designated meeting spots, and even one or two with FPs , but plenty of chances to interact with them without waiting in lines
