I remember:

- Riding Mr. Toad's Wild Ride when I was seven (1972) and my cousin letting me drive and shouting, "Oh my gosh! Watch out!" She made it so fun for me.

- On Main Street there being a cinema where old Mickey Mouse cartoons were played. I also remember there being a Penny Arcade on Main Street with old fashioned games you could play for a penny.

- Canoeing around Tom Sawyer's Island in the 1980s

- The whole Studio Backlot Tour, and looking through windows at people actually using equipment to make TV shows and films. I remember a short video during one of the stops on the tour that paired Mel Gibson with Pee Wee Herman - it was about sound and was hilarious!

- Catastrophe Canyon

- The Animation Tour. Remember the film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite? They animated Robin Williams into a Lost Boy.

- Magic pins you could buy that would light up/sparkle with colors when something magical was happening to you or near you. My kids LOVED those pins.

- Creative skippers on the Jungle Cruise. It used to be a place where particularly humorous young men were allowed to try out new jokes. (There were some innuendos, I recall, that might not float in today's PC environment... so they put a stop to it.) I also remember a gun being fired at the hippo who attacked the boat -- that's gone now.

- The "haunted" organ at Adventurer's Club ... I can't remember its name. Keys? Anyway, the audience would call out songs to test him to see if he knew them, and the organ would play the song. And he knew like 99 percent of them. Sometimes people would be jerks and yell out really weird stuff and he'd play "Hit the Road Jack" or something else hilarious. EDIT: I just looked up the name of the organ. It was FINGERS ZAMBEZI. Grin

- Roller skating through a bar in Pleasure Island. I was at Pleasure Island on opening night and skated while a band played live (I think it was Paul Revere and the Raiders?). I can't remember the name of the bar, but can you imagine? Roller skates! That didn't last long. I wonder who thought that was a good idea, to mix alcohol and roller skating? hahahaha

Lots of other memories.... I could go on and on.

Just thought of another one: I remember when you could lock your pet in a kennel outside the entrance of the park (I specifically remember the one at Epcot). It was kind of like lockers, but for animals. Then you just picked them up at the end of the day. (Can't even imagine people being OK with that today!!)
