Worst change in the last 10 years...What do you miss most

[Finally08]

Oh I also miss (although I barely got to explore it) Main Street when it was not a giant souvenir shop. My first trip there as a 14 year old, I remember spending an hour in the arcade playing with the penny machines and just exploring main street. I loved the feel of it....it has no heart anymore.

Tapestry of Nations - loved that music! Find myself humming it all the time.
The Christmas lights at Epcot - those gave me goosebumps they were so gorgeous!
Homogenization of merchandise - I want resort specific mugs and clothing brought back!

I miss the old version of Spaceship Earth

 

[Dan Murphy]

The end of Tapestry of Nations.

The entry of 'free' dining promotions.

Personally, I miss Jeremy Irons. I am a fan of Dame Judy, but I prefer Jeremy.

On a very personal note, I miss my french toast loaf. It is a very minor thing but I still looked forward to it every visit.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (maybe more than 10 years). At least re-purpose the area.

 

[mickeys#1fan]

I miss the old version of Spaceship Earth

...with Walter Cronkite? I second that!

The end of Tapestry of Nations.

The entry of 'free' dining promotions.

Both of these---and , although I love Test Track, I miss World of Motion and Horizons.

Jeremy Irons narration of SSE.

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Tarzan Rocks. Loved the show, the actors were cutie pie's, it was original and different. Loved the X games elements of skating, boarding, etc.

 

[terribm]

oh, posted before but I forgot my biggest "miss". ALFREDO'S I loved that place.

I miss the old commentary on TTA.

 

[SmellsLikeJapan]

I miss the old commentary on TTA.

Though it may sound extreme, I cried when they made the recent changes to TTA, I refuse to go on it now. That ride held so many memories for my dad and I. We always had our father daughter weekend and ride TTA multiple times, we knew the whole script. But now, it lost it's spark. Disney did what it does to everything else, standardizes it. Nothing has individuality or any sign of uniqueness. I hate it. I sometimes wonder what goes on in those board meetings when they decide to make changes to rides.

I also miss the Tapestry of Nations parade in EPCOT. The music, costumes and rolling drum floats were so cool.

another vote for tapestry...was such a great parade

 

[Jonell]

I miss low crowd levels!!!!!

Doesn't sound extreme at all. These are emotive things for many people, so it's totally understandable. I too can't imagine what Disney is thinking when it makes these changes. What's next, getting rid of the cheesy schtick on Jungle Cruise?!!!

Soft, yummy white-bread hamburger and hot dog buns. I don't even buy burgers and hots anymore because I can't stand the stale crappy rolls they have now.

Other than that, 20,000 Leagues, River Country and a wider variety of merchandise. It seems like now, everything is the same in every shop until you get to the World Showcase.
