Disney is always ever changing… everywhere you go. Some changes are less noticeable, like changing the flowers in the flower beds to another variety. Some are more dramatic like changing the Castle Circle. It once had big trees that actually obstructed the view of the castle. It also contained built in bench’s around the raised flower gardens. Now the trees and the bench’s are long gone… and the flower gardens are now at ground level. Loosing the trees was probably a good thing… loosing the built in bench’s… well… I wish Disney had more bench’s… not less!
The Skyway from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland is long gone
I think I miss this too…
Many of the boat rides are gone…
20,000 Leagues Submarine
The Swan Boats
The Keel Boats
The Crockett Canoes
Yep… may things change over the years.
Some of the old favorites are gone for various reasons… some for safety, some due to guests interest, or lack thereof, but one things is for sure… the nostalgic appeal of old favorites that we grew up with will never fade and be forgotten. It’s a shame that all the things that are gone don’t have an exhibit of some kind… I think it would be more positive to remember the past rather than fear the negative of thinking about what is now gone.
One of my favorite things of the past was the twin water towers that marked the Entrance to Tomorrowland. Walking across the bridge from Castle Circle to Tomorrowland between the twin towers… well… they were more representative of the Future and a pile of rocks… but that’s just my feelings.
Here’s a photo of the Twin Towers
still very futuristic…
and here’s what replaced them…
Maybe some things should never change.
But with everything, Time march’s on…
and change is always going to prevail.
For the better? A personal choice!
