I like it as a temporary makeover, but I wouldn't have been happy if they'd made it permanment!

 

[tashasmum]

We were there when the castle was done as a big birthday cake. I liked it.

We were there, and liked it but were very disappointed as we thought it was a once in a lifetime trip and we wouldn't get to see it properly. Little did we know that that first trip was to be the first of many, when the bug bites it bites deep, but you ALL know that.

Can't agree more with you Tony.

It was our first trip in 1997 when the castle was a birthday cake. It was Magic Kingdom's 25th aniversary. I quite liked it - but it did mean we were
forced to return to see the castle back to normal

Me too. It made a nice change.

 

[The Fetherstons]

Yes, we were there to in 1997, It was nice but it is nice when it is back to its normal self

 

[mandymouse]

I never saw it like that, it looks fun but awful at the same time

 

[jjk]

I never saw it,It was certainly interesting

 

[Deedee]

We were there too in 97 it was defo different LOL

 

[natalielongstaff]

I don't like it like that at all

 

[fizz13]

it may be one of those things that is so tacky and bad that it makes it fabulous I don't hate it but i probably would if it was permanant

 

[saratogagirl]

we were there, I didn't hate it, but nor did I like, it, it was a novelty, but I was happy when they took it down

 

[Hilary]

Yes, we saw it and, as it was DD's birthday while we were there, it was almost as though they decorated it for her!

 

[Netty]

It was our first ever trip to wdw in August 1997 , and as we had never seen the castle before anyway, so it made no difference to us then!

 

[epcot1stfave]

For all those that were there, have you still got the anniversary poster and badges they were giving away. I framed ours and the badges are in the Disney display cabinet

 

[susieh]

We were there when it was like that and hated it - it looked tacky and cheap and horrid compared to when it was 'normal'.

I wish they'd kept the old cable cars, we really enjoyed the ride on them as it gave you a different view of the park.

Yes I have all the old badges from that trip too. As DVC members we got special badges with tags showing the year you joined - mine's safely stored away "somewhere!"
