Things that aren't there anymore

[disneysteve]

This was inspired by a thread over on the Restaurant board discussing places that are no longer there. Let's get more general. What former attractions, shops, restaurants, shows, etc. do you remember fondly (or not so fondly).

I miss the Mickey Mouse Club Revue (where PhilHarmagic is now).
I miss Magic Journeys, the first 3-d movie at Imagination.
And, of course, I miss the original Journey to Imagination. The redo's have been poor.
I miss the Main Street Penny Arcade and the Magic Shop.
I love DTD but I kind of miss the quaintness of the Lake Buena Vista village area the way it used to be.
I miss The Walt Disney Story.

Ok, enough for now. Let's hear yours.

Enough said!!

 

[MKFan-PR]

Missing:

-The Skyway at MK
-World of Motion (I love Test Track, too, though)
-Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (We always had fun with me complaining about my DW's driving, sort of in reverse of the real thing )
-The original Imagination Pavilion
-The sound show at MGM
-The quiet area in Liberty Square, behind the LTT and the shops (technically it's still there, but now it's a smoking area )

Is it just me... or are most people missing the things that are taken out than liking the new stuff they're putting in?

 

[disneysteve]

Anyone but me remember the train that used to run in Fort Wilderness? And, of course, there was River Country and NO swimming pool in what was supposed to be a rustic area. Also, the make your own pizza was there also. And Discovery Island.

I miss my now 23 y/o daughter, and 19 y/o son wanting to come with us to Disney World, and their excitement about the trip, and all our wonderful memories. Now they wouldn't be caught dead going with us there.

I also miss the friendliness and cheerful guests and CM's - now it seems happy CM's and happy guests are in short supply....must be the heat.
