Pictures of things No Longer Seen at WDW

I really need to find my old pictures but I think most of my stuff has been covered already. However, I found this picture online - I always preferred these Mickey ice cream bars over the ones they have now. With the whole thing dipped in chocolate, it makes it so much harder to eat! LOL

Though they are a little creepier-looking...lol.

I LOVED these!! They were also sold at the grocery store; my sister and I lived off of them as kids.

Main Street Electrical Parade isn't new; it pre-dated SpectroMagic. They brought it back.

Yes, but it wasn't the same. Still, I was happy to see something like it. It was the last thing we did the night we left.

 

[DemonLlama]

Nope, not gone.

Wasn't it only visible (the whole thing) from the Backlot Tour that's gone?

It's visible while riding Tower Of Terror.

I miss the pirate coconut heads. Think I bought it at PoC a while ago.

Free gift for everyone during 25th anniversary year(I remember a lot of these thrown in the trash by people who didn't want them!) I still have mine framedView attachment 83582

I have that tucked away somewhere as well. It's in a folder with all my other stuff from that trip.

This is probably from the 80s, when they had peacocks roaming around Fort Wilderness.

They roamed around the Lake Buena Vista Village as well. I remember being confronted by them every now and again while we played outside of our Treehouse Villa.

Not sure what the fascination was with souvenir plates, but here are two that we picked up in 1972.

One of the souvenir books that we bought in 1972.

 

[JimmyV]

Not sure when we got this one. Probably in 1972 as well. But it was a "Preview Edition" book. Check out all of the Monorail Resorts that never got built.

Thank you everyone for sharing! I love seeing the things I remember. I also love seeing the things that happened 'before my time'.

And when you wanted to see WDW (and the rest of Florida) in "3-D", you had to have one of these:

This is the 20,000 Leagues under the Sea from our 1975 trip.

Here's another book that we got in 1972. Mine is in terrible shape from having been read over, and over, and over again. This is an image of one in better condition.

Donald's Breakfastosaurus at
Restaurantosaurus (McDonald's)​

We ate there when it was the character breakfast. This was right before the grand opening in April 1998. They were having previews for guests staying on property only, so it was very empty. We ate with about 6 other families so character interactions were wonderful! I don't remember much about the food, but 2 interactions make it a vivid memory:

1: I had a denim jacket. On a previous visit, we had bought character patches. Mom sewed on the back Donald, Mickey, and Minnie. Well Goofy came up from behind me and gave a motion of, "what about me?". I turned around and said that we had placed him closest to my heart (front left pocket). What hugs I got then!

2: Same meal, but getting ready to leave. Mom was taking her meds. She dropped a vitamin capsule on the floor, so I got down to look for it. Our fear was a child finding it and either choking (it was huge!) or getting sick and scaring their parents. You never forget crawling on the floor with Mickey Mouse looking for a capsule. After 10 minutes, the manager told us not to worry and Mickey mimed that he would keep looking for it.

It was 12 years before we got back, but by then, the meal was over at Tusker. And Mom was gone. But, oh, what wonderful memories of a sneak preview! Thanks for reminding me.

Dan and Sarah! We loved it at Restrauntosaurus and to this day we always go to Donalds Breakfast at Tusker House. Just wonderful memories!

 

[SPOERLX3]

Yes! That used to be our favorite. Always used to do this before rope drop so we could beat the crowds into the park. Our fondest memories are of rushing through the deserted park in the early morning to get there and we always found the characters to best the most interactive there. I will have to dog out some pictures.

Such great memories! We still do the before park opening at Tusker House but it's just not the same The character interaction was the best!!! And the price!!
