What's the one thing you would love to see come back?
Watching a Walt Disney special from 1986 and really realized just how much I miss horizons. Also the old pleasure island. I know change is one of the things Walt always wanted, but some of the changes haven't been for the best. So what attraction, aspect, or never realised idea of past Disney do you wish they would bring back or re-create?

1) The days when you just went there on vacation without having to preplan your every move months in advance including dining.
2)The Adventurer's Club in Pleasure Island. It was very popular and I miss it big time. Kongaloosh!!
3)20,000 leagues under the sea submarine ride. I thought it was the coolest thing ever as a kid.
4)Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! For the life of me I can't figure out why they removed that ride. It was a classic.

I am not a hater of the new Main Street Starbucks, I just wish they would still have the Main Street Bakery offerings. There are things here I never got to try...the cinnamon rolls, the apple charlotte....
Also, The Adventurer's Club. I never got to go I guess I should be grateful that I don't know what I missed out on, but still...
I completely get the reason for the change, but rides in the front of the monorail. Never got to do this either. We were going to, but at the time there were 6 in our party and some of us would have to sit in the rear, so we passed on it. We did not know that was our last opportunity.
These are some off the top of my head. If I think of more, I will be sure to post.

My biggest reason for missing PI is adventures club! Kungaloosh!!..never got to try one of those either
Mr toads was one of my favorites, I love Winnie the pooh of course lol, but I hate when they replace a classic. It seems pooh could've gone somewhere else..maybe replacing an attraction that wasn't such a staple of Disney. I love new and innovative ideas, that's one of the many reasons I love Disney, but the change really had to be amazing to be worth the loss of a classic attraction.

Sorry, I can't do just one.
1). Horizons
2). If you had wings
3). The original soundtrack on the TTA
4). True off season
5). No need to plan in advance for everything. It just goes against my personality.

Loved this parade as well. I have the soundtrack and play it often. I miss Mr. Toad and wish they would have brought it back in the NFL. Possibly reimagineered, like a spiderman like 3d wild ride. That would have been awesome.

For me its also the "Tapestry of Nations Parade". As there were 3 simultaneous parades we would stay close to the gates at the beginning of one and watch it again when one of the others exits into the same gate. I also have it video taped several times and bought the music CD which I listen to periodically.

The *spontaneity* of a trip to the Magic Kingdom (we used to visit four or five times a year on a day trip; never stayed on property...I'm talkin' mid-'70s to late '80s, before Studios and all the resorts...We're actually planning a September trip, and we're workin' on bein' confused...LOL...)

One thing I miss?
A management team who actually cares about the parks and guests, a team who wants to give the guests new and exciting experiences instead of closing things down, removing entertainment, stripping things to the bare minimum and allowing the parks to stagnate... I miss a management team which allowed creativity to flow, instead of caring only about profits, bottom lines, executive bonuses, and Wall Street...

BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
