What do you Remember or Miss at WDW

I've been looking back through my old keepsakes from WDW and I came across the tickets from our first ever trip and it got me thinking about how things have changed over the years.

So I thought it might be nice to remember the good old days

Our first tickets have out photos on them, I remember having to stand at the ticket desk and look at the camera and then the tickets were printed - boy do I look young

Soda re-fills - do you remember when you could pay a little extra for a soda and then it would cost about 50 cents for a refill or was it free

World of Motion before Test Track.
Journey to Imagination before they changed it.
Getting your hand stamped so you could re-enter a park.
When the characters would walk around the park and you didn’t have to line up to see them.
On our first visit I had an autograph book I had my photo taken with Prince John and he walked off with my pen I was laughing and walked after him so he ran away, when he came back over I had to kiss his hand before I got my book back
Another time Jafar came up to me and put someone else’s book on my head to sign it. Oh I miss those days
When the characters were allowed to mess around with you - Pluto spinning me round and dancing with Goofy - happy memories.
Tapestry of Dreams.

There are so many more, so what do you miss or wish you could bring back.

Characters dont interact? This is news to me

Well, I do have to say Ill miss Sno White's Scary ride... yes it was scary, but its one of my most vivid WDW memories from the first time I visited

I also miss Body Wars, and all the exhibitions in that pavillion, I think they were dated, but just wonderful

On our first few visits they used to play around more, Chris was held in a headlock by the Queen of Hearts and she was yelling, off with his head

it's that sort of thing that I haven't seen for a long time

oh... phew! I can breathe then... I was a bit worried that they would now just pose statuesque like

Not that the girls will actually understand any of the interaction though

I remember when we were visiting with MIL., We were eating at LTT and Pluto came up behind me and put his mouth on my head.

I miss Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Tapestry of Dreams.
