Another thread got me thinking about how many people assume something has been that way at Disney since the beginning, simply because that was how it was the first time they went to Disney. So I thought it would be fun, for all of us to share some of the things we experienced at Disney that no longer exist (or have changed significantly). So below is my list
1. A thru E tickets - Anyone else remember not having the ticket you needed to go on something you wanted to?
2. The Swan Boats
3. The unlimited attraction ticket (or whatever it's official name was) - this was available in the last year or so of the A thru E tickets and allowed you to ride everything as many times as you wanted to.
4. Gun Fights in Frontierland - I remember watching the Sheriff and his deputies trying to capture train robbers at the train station, which used to be where Splash Mountain is now.
5. Diamond Horseshoe review - Anyone else remember when this used to be a show?
6. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea - Only "E" ticket attraction in MK to close.
7. Mission to Mars - This was a tame (by modern standards) trip to Mars. I don;t remember to much of the show, other than the albatross landing and setting of the crash alarm.
8. Journey into Imagination - It is really sad that they closed this one.
9. Journey into Your Imagination - So glad they closed this one.
10. Mike Fink's Keel Boats // Davy Crockett Canoes - I really miss all the boats that used to go around Tom Sawyers Island.
Ok, think I will stop here. What are some of the things that you got to experience that no longer exist? Don't feel restricted to just list things in the parks.

There was a shop on Main street that had period costumes that you could put on and then have your picture taken with the appropriate backdrop. We went in 1980 for our 5th anniversary and had one of those taken as our big splurge!
Body Wars... East Coast iteration of Monsanto Adventure Through Inner Space.
Cranium Command, I laughed every time we saw this. Probably because our boys were this age!!!
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow!

Characters coming to the hotel door to wish my mom and me Happy Birthday, I was young and thought it was cool. The luau on the beach with the boats with the men in costume.
I also remember having a caricature done in the game room at the Contemporary, which i believe was free of charge.
I remember innoventions being so awesome. I remember being able to do an interview with Jay Leno on a green screen and be on tv. Then I remember seeing cool futuristic inventions like a wheel chair that could go up stairs.

How about the animation studio at MGM Studios, and getting to see real animators working on upcoming Disney films.
Or the "Backlot" actually being a backlot.
