Another thread "I've been to WDW X times and I've never...." got me thinking about things I HAVE done, but won't get to do again...Makes we wish they'd add Nostalgialand!

20,000 Leagues
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
The Skyway to Tomorrowland/Fantasyland
Magical Journeys
Mission to Mars
Delta Dreamfight
Looked at the caveman in Ice Station Cool
Ate a burger at the Odyssey restaurant in Epcot
Had honeymoon dinner at Bonfamille's at POFQ
Went to Cage and Wildhorse Saloon at Pleasure Island
Saw Carousel of Progress with the "This is the Best Time of Your Life" song --so glad they went back to the original!
 
Alien encounter. It was a sad, sad day when they closed that ride.
DH and I used to love the skyway.
 
Delta Dream Flight,Sky Ride,Mr. Toad's Toad's Wild Ride,20,000 Under The Sea,World Of Motion,Horizions, and Swan Boats come to to mind.

Oh, I forgot about Horizons (orange smelly!!) and World Of Motion! I used to love both of those!
 
We went to the "Legend of the Lion King" (I think that was the name) in Fantasyland in Dec. 2001. My DD was scared during the Rafiki pre-show so we never got to see the rest of it!
 
yea - Horizans was a favorite. How about The Mickey Mouse Review ( I think that's what it was called) and If you had Wings!
 
I also love Alien Encounter and miss it so much. We used to do this several times each trip. I haven't gotten to try Stitch yet, but will be able to in a few weeks. I love Lilo and Stitch but I don't think anything can replace Alien Encounter. I loved having a scary adult attraction at MK.
 
I miss the Lion King show in MK. As much as I love the Mickey's Philharmagic where the Lion King show used to be, I wish they would have moved it elsewhere.

What about the sky trams going across the park????
 
Was the Delta Dreamflight ride the one with the big screen movie in front of you and the "If you had wings" song. I remember that from my first trip 30 years ago, when I was 10. :earsgirl:
 
We have enjoyed several of the attactions you mentioned. Our favorite was riding the Skyway during the fireworks though.... the BEST Disney experience!

Actually, I was expecting more from that Stitch ride. I say if lines are over 10 min. don't even bother. It is ok, but not one of my favorites.

Captain Eo. I liked that one too, also:

20,000 leagues under the sea
Horizons
World of Motion
Sky ride
Delta ride
Journey into the Imagination (original version)
 
The ones I miss the most are definitely Horizons and World of Motion! Horizons was my favorite ride, I never understood why it was not more popular. World of Motion was neat because of all of the animitronics on the ride--and it had a "future of transportation scene" at the end that reminded me of the "flying over London" scene in Peter Pan's Flight. I love Test Track and Mission: Space though.


Other long gone rides ridden:
Delta Dreamflight, and its earlier incarnation by Eastern Airlines (if you had wings, had wings, had wings!)
20,000 leagues under the sea (erm, not that great)
Skyway (not sorely missed)
Captain EO
Alien Encounter (hated it, only because the harness was WAY too tight and hurt my shoulders. In retrospect, I bet I pulled on it when I was not supposed to).
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
 
I really miss Horizons and World of Motion at EPCOT. The skyway at MK!! Yes I did the other old ones, like Mr. Toad's, but those are the ones I really miss. What I miss the most, however, is some of the old great live shows!
