Pictures of things No Longer Seen at WDW

I actually was one of those people one time. We never got a pick of it though.


How about this one...a view of the quiet pools with no fence/gate. We were just there a few days ago and construction of the fence and gates was almost complete. Makes me sad.

Lol, my father showed this to me this weekend, he brought it home from his office. I haven't seen it in yeeears!!!!

I had 2 of these for years (from 1997?) and used them when camping with the Scouts. Even punched holes in the lids to keep them attached to the mug. Finally threw them out when we moved cross country last spring.

I've been enjoying this thread for a few years now, and kept thinking I should contribute! I've taken the day off work today, so might as well share some long-gone memories from my first trip to WDW in November 1995.

I am fairly sure this shot of the castle was taken from the Skyway.

Star Tours at MGM Studios. The new longer queue outside no longer provides access to the legs for that kind of picture. I guess kids would climb on them, and fall and what not.

Love the Figment meet shot! DS was crazy about Figment and still fondly remembers carrying around Figment souvies from our trips. We even have a Figment nightlight that still works.

I must be one of the lone few who liked the update

I also liked both versions.

I had no idea there was such a thing. And I considered - stress "considerED" myself a WDW expert!

I posted this photo in another thread but was redirected here and I can't delete the other thread. So here goes again. Now that I've found this thread, expect to see a lot of pictorial trips down memory lane!

Some of you may have already seen it, but this is the first of my memory lane posts. This is The Land food court in October of 2004, drastically different from what it looks like today!

I have a picture of my sister going head-first down this water slide, but no details of where it is! Where is this?

I don't have a good photo. But maybe this will come through...

You can't listen to Michael Iceberg and his Amazing Iceberg Machine concerts anymore in Tomorrowland Terrace/Starlight Cafe. Sunny Eclipse now occupies that space.

Go here and have a listen....at the 2:35 mark, it all becomes clear!

Wow! I wrote a letter to Michael Iceberg when he lived in Snowmass, Colorado, telling him how much I enjoyed his show. He performed once at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto way back in the 80s. I think I got a reply back, but I can't quite remember. I wonder if he still lives there! Some of my favourites were "Little Piggy Hoedown", "Robot Revolt", "That's All I Want To Know"... among others.

Would it be possible when people post to say what the picture is of? I enjoy looking but some of these pics I don't know what Im looking at!

Agreed! I was hoping for more descriptions like, approximate date and what we're looking at. Thanks.

By 1997 those Aladdin parade camels were standing either side of the Soundstage Restaurant - where Playhouse Disney is now. No idea if they were still spitting! Look, it featured the Hunchback of Notre Dame too, remember the play in MGM - that was fab! I have no pics of it but we used to keep piles of the bell shaped confetti that was released from the ceiling!!

The camels were stationed just outside the Magic Carpets of Aladdin Ride.. was that MK or DL? Is that ride even still there?

River Country, the original water park, now mothballed. I don't know its current status, but last time I looked into it it was like this:

That was the pool at River Country! Most of the park utilized the lagoon, but they also had a pool. I remember those slides well. They appeared to drop straight down when viewed from the top!
