I wish WDW still had...

[prgal0715]

There are SO many things I miss about "vintage" WDW! But, my top 10 - in no particular order - are:

1. Horizons (the smell of oranges was the BEST!)
2. El Rio del Tiempo
3. "Jolly Holidays" dinner show
4. Carousel of Progress (Now is the time...now is the best time version)
5. Le Cellier - the buffeteria (Their tourtiere was so delicious)
6. King Stefan's Banquet Hall
7. Diamond Horseshoe
8. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
9. Pompano Grill @ Disney's Village Resort
10. Discovery Island

Good food.

This is the thing I miss most. I miss the days, when the non-signature restaurants were as good as the current signatures.

The following are my list of missing adventures at WDW:

7. World of Motion
9. Horizons
16. Breakfast at Tony's and the Land Grill
17. Jolly Holiday Show

These! It's a shame they cut out so many of the special, Christmas events. I also think WDW desperately needs more breakfast options in the park.

-the character meal at LTT (they were just so cute in their Colonial outfits)

LTT was a great place to eat prior to MNSSHP & MVMCP for the characters. We've never liked the food, so we went solely for the atmosphere on party nights.

Definitely the original Journey Into Imagination with Figment. Also always enjoyed Cranium Command.

I miss the original Figment also.

I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Snow White's Scary Adventure. Please please don't ever get rid of Peter Pan's Flight.

Yes, Mickey shaped butter! My sister and I thought we were big time at Coral Reef with that butter!

My sister and I had the same reaction when we saw the butter.

Agreed, so sad to see PUSH go!

WHAT? PUSH is gone??? Oh, so sad! We would hang out and just wait for him. Oh, I am so going to have a hard time telling this one to my family!

As with most things in life, I wish time stood still in 1990. But what comes to mind is...
1. Mr. Toad
2. Mickey shaped butter
3. Being able to stay at the Polynesian for around 200.00 per night.
4. Being able to have a walk-up at Ohana @ 5:00 pm.
