I'm having a very old Disney memory...

[Matt@WDWR]

My mom took me to WDW when I was about 4 which would put that visit around oh 1978. About all I remember from the trip is Fantasyland and a certain snack. I have this vague memory of getting fruit drinks that were in plastic containers shaped like fruit. Ya know, orange drink in a orange shaped container. Maybe a grape one too. haha yes these are some of my oldest memories.


Am I remembering correctly? Did Disney use to have these? Does anybody else remember this?

I wasn't around yet But I remember Kevin mentioning something about them on the show a while back.

I remember this too! I remember a grape one and I think an orange one.

Those things were so cool!

I always got the grape one. They should bring those back - I miss them.

Yup I was about 8 on my first trip in 76 and I remeber the fruit punch in the grape, orange and strawberry. I also remember accidentally dropping a soda off the balcony at the Poly and my Aunt freaking out. Those were the days. LOL.

Those were about all I could recall from my first trips to Disney as well. I so wish they still had them, my 4 year old daughter would love them! I also remember seeing the fireworks from the Poly on our balcony and the water electric show!

Wow that brought back an old memory. Those things were awesome. I think I always got the grape one too.

Yep, I remember. I think about them when we go to our local Apple Festival in the fall. They have cider in apple shaped ones for the kids. They used to have them at Cedar Point too which we went to often as a kid and I had tons of them. My mom's a saver, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a few saved.

My DD is working at CP again this summer. I will ask her to see if they still make them. I would buy one just for the nostalgia!

I also remember Kevin talking about them on a show.

I think they were standard theme park fare back in the 70s because Kings Dominion used to have them, too!

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

Yes I definitely remember the fruit shaped fruit juice drinks.

 

[elemusing]

Yep - Opryland in Nashville used to have them too. I LOVED the orange ones! yummy!

 

[mikelan6]

I remember those too. They used to sell them in Adventureland, I believe. I also remember the frozen bananas. Yumm.

I've been scouring the internet this morning trying to find a picture but I cannot find one!

I remember those. I only went to Disney once as a small child and the only real stand out memory for me was riding 20,000 leagues and the skyway.

 

[Ginamarie]

Yes, we still have one somewhere! It's an orange with a straw

These? They look pretty close to what I remember, perhaps a bit smaller.
