Disney Gone

There's no gone... Like Disney gone. 

Disney is always making changes. 
Sometimes,  replacing the old with the new. 
Sometimes just discontinued,  stopped, eliminated.

Some things eliminated or stopped 

Not compatible with larger crowds.

Some just lost guest appeal over time.

Some due to safety issues.

Some to make room for new attractions. 

Probably the most impactful aspect of "things gone"...

They were all memories...

You return and find them... relive old memories. 
You return and they are gone... 

It's like old memories just died a little. 
Somewhat disappointing. 

Old favorites, rides, shows, places, 

that are simply gone. 
Some you get,  some not so much. 

Colleges were made at different times... some photos are duplicates. 

SpectroMagic Night time parade.

Best parade ever... Replaced with a old tired Electrical Street parade from years ago.

The sorcerer's hat at Studios

Once a park icon... Simply removed. How do you get rid of a park icon?

Mickey & Minnie's houses. 
Iconic structures... symbols... Mickeys house. Cleared for expansion.

Archway Christmas  lights at Epcot

Lights & music across the bridge to world showcase.

Simply not put back up with Christmas decoration  cut backs.

Osborne Family Christmas lights at Studios

Discontinued... Spectacular display... Holiday classic.

Studios stunt cars spectacular. 
Torn down to replaced with star wars... this I totally get. 
Splash Mountain 

Re-themed due to political correctness 

Night time Electric Parade

Discontinued... crowds to large to accomodate parades.

It was old and  "stale dated" anyway.

Disney Quest

No great loss... but tore down the building... Couldn't repurpose?  

(sorry... mistake... I think mouse gear is still there) 

Camp Minnie - Mickey

Big time character greet area.

Demolished to make room for Avatar

The iconic highly celebrated Epcot fountain

Once a major dedicated symbol of world countries. 
Torn down for Epcot improvements. 

The Iconic Epcot Fountain

Symbolic of water from  around. 
Family photos there on each visit. 

Beautiful and colorful.

And the mist/spray was a welcome cool off on hot days.

So beautiful. 

 

Rides / transportation discontinued 

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Transportation at world showcase

Stopped... crowds too large to safely use.

Swan boats at castle hub... Just stopped. 

Keel boats... Just stopped.

Popularity and inability to accommodate larger crowds

Canoe bost rides.

2000... ushered in the new millennium

I guess we no longer celebrate the new millennium

Water transport to magic kingdom

Couldn't accomodate large crowds 

Free roaming audiotronic dinosaur walking around Animal Kingdom

Baby elephant rescued at the end of the Safari ride

The iconic twin water fall towers

Entrance to Tomorrowland

Replaced with rock formations... go figure.

The lobby at the Polynesian

A Tropical Delight complete with waterfalls

Simply removed to accommodate larger crowds.

The Skyway Ride

No doubt removed for maintenance and safety issues

The best themed fireworks shows

replaced by other shows that were okay... Just not as good.

Did you know?

So disney did not have to take all the flags down nightly.
