Old Disney Park photos

Are you sure the buildings haven't changed size? Really?

Pretty sure. Of course, with various refurbishments throughout the years, almost all of Main Street USA is not 1971 original, so I can't be 100% positive.

But I am 99.9% sure.

i also liked the pink castle cake. it's part of history. i thought it looked cool.
sorry to those who think i'm nutty, but just my opinion!!!!!

I liked the cake too! I understand the need to cancel wedding photos, but otherwise, I thought it was a hoot. I should also say that I like the color pink.

I am really glad that on one of my last trips as a kid I got to ride the skyway. It freaked me out (I was afraid the line would break and we would fall to our doom); however, I can now proudly say that I rode that and now you can't ride it at WDW. I also have a similar story for 20000 Leagues under the Sea. Hey, I also have a similar story for the original scary Snow White's Adventures (before it was called Scary, thank you very much). Wow, I am now realizing that a whole lot of closed attractions used to scare the bejesus out of me!

Anyone else remember this parade...

Both are from May '76

 

[NedsTJ]

Does anyone know if this is still there? Taken in May '76.

Nowadays it'd probly be roped off to prevent ppl from getting splinters!

1994, my first visit to WDW, 20,000 leagues was still open

This ride is one that I would like to see come back to WDW, its missed BIG TIME .

Yes, it's still there, but it's covered with grass and weeds, and a lot of it is in the water. Since Discovery Island is closed now, no one can get to it anyway. If I can find a picture, I'll post it!

Is this it?

Is this it?

Great idea, DaisyLynn! Yes, that's it. The first time we went to Discover Island we sat on the beach in front of the boat for long enough that my DH got a horrible sunburn. Now, there's no beach at all there. I used to love Discovery Island!

Anyone remember the dino tent at Animal Kingdom?

Photo taken December 2000. Dino tent was where Chester & Hester's is now. It was taken down when the hurricane (of 2001?) threatened. The hurricane fizzled out before it got to Orlando, but they never put the tent back.

Does anyone rembmer the lin que for Dinosaur being outside. It's been years since i rode it. Maybe a year after AK opened and I think Dinosaur was farily new. I rode it this past Mar. and was amazed that we waited indoors. I swear it was outside before. My assumption is that the buidings hadn't all been built yet back then???
