Do you remember colored plastic forks, knives at WDW?

[safetymom]

My daughter mentioned this today and I am having a mental block. Do you remember when the forks, knives, spoons were different colors at WDW? Please refresh my memory. I remember bringing some back to Pittsburgh for a Disney dinner but don't remember the colors.

I do not remember those although my time frame is probably a bit different.
I went as a child in 76, as a teen in 82, then I took my DH and 2 kids in 2005, 2006, and 2009.
I don't remember the coloured plastic cutlery but I do remember the black plastic mickey shaped plates that they served all the counter service kids meals. They had a main compartment and each ear was a smaller compartment.
We loved them and cleaned them out and between our 2005 and 2006 trips took 10 of them home. The kids still eat out of them and 7 of them are still in perfect shape. Cheapest set of kids dishes ever! When we went in 2009 they were gone with the cutbacks.

I remember those plates. We also came home with lots of sand buckets from the kids meals at CBR.

I don't remember this at all. I have a vision of red and only red. lol

I can remember WAY back when - when Aunt Polly's on Tom Sawyer's Island served fried chicken, ( *real* pieces of chicken with bones and everything ) it came with brown and yellow plastic forks and knives, for some reason, and at the end of each piece of cutlery was a little plastic impression of a water wheel turning...

But, that was a LONG time ago...

I do remember this- well sort of..... As soon as t read this I was thinking of a purple knife. I think the spoon, fork and knife were all different colors. I can't remember a timeframe when these were there

Yes, I remember too. They were purple and red and yellow I think. I probably have some somehwere....

I remember that from staying at the Caribbean Beach resort in the early 90s (91-92ish). I remember the purple knife, as well, and I believe the forks were red. Not sure about the spoon... I want to say yellow, but I might be misremembering that.

I don't remember them being that way in the parks (it may have been, I'm not sure), but I 100% remember it from the resort because I remember my dad showing me the first time we stayed there.

I was remembering yellow as one of the colors.

I remember using multicolor plastic utensils on my honeymoon/my first trip in July 1996. I think we used white, black, red, and yellow.

 

[safetymom]

My daughter insists the spoon was blue.

 

[lovethattink]

Purple knives, red forks, but don't remember the spoons either.

 

[BeamsofLight]

Blue was the other color I was thinking of for the spoon, so it's possible there were yellow and blue at different times? There were a few years in that time period that I didn't go to WDW.

I also seem to remember after a few years, all of the cutlery was purple for a while...

My DW and I recall colored plastic cutlery on our first trip in 1989 at CBR, our very first trip to WDW. We remember purple and yellow (knife and fork, respectively??). They also gave out a button with the kids meal "basket". It seemed that all of our meals were deep fried and in a "basket" on that trip since the kids were 11 and 8. Dining options have definitely improved since then.

I remember those too! I remember on one trip we bought enough to give out to many cousins and friends! LOL!

I also remember the nice kids cups you got with the kids meals...I remember trying to eat at each resort just to get the cup.

Part of me does think I remember this.

The other part thinks I'm only remembering it because it was mentioned and the memory isn't real.

How's that for unhelpful?

Well, they're more like misty, water-colored memories of the way forks were....
