The Mickey Mouse arm, glove and wand logo attached to Spaceship Earth in Epcot

Thats one I do not miss I think it looks better without it

Thank goodness! Same for the Epcot hand and wand, such an eye sore. I'm glad both of these are gone or almost gone.

Definitely true

Communicore = why Epcot has always been my favorite park. While Innoventions is fine, nothing will ever come close to the original.

Communicore!! of course from one of my fist trips to epcot this thread is great thank you

Remember when dad wanted to buy everyone the "8 Adventure Ticket Book", but you whined and complained and convinced him that you really needed the "12 Adventure Ticket Book"?

This's fantastic! I forgot that they used to have a junior age category. That would be a great thing to bring back for park tickets and dining!!

While I really enjoyed reading this board and bringing back many memories, it is too bad that it was moved from the main page to here. Since being moved, it has lost much of it's momentum in the amount of postings to it.

What is the main page?

I'm feeling nostalgic today. I went through my scrapbook of my first trip to WDW, which was in Sept 1995, when I was 19 years old. I so wish digital cameras were around back then. There's so much I've forgotten, especially about the original Epcot attractions.

Hopefully, the picture upload works...

Mickey Mania Parade - at the time we thought this was such a weird parade. But now, we think they don't make parades like this anymore. So many more floats and performers.

And then Mickey's Starland

Even after all the years and all the parades, Mickey Mania is still my favorite! Thanks for the memories.

Yes, that caught my eye also! We had one that large back in the late '80s; so hated lugging it around for the few movies we took (and not to WDW!).

I had a smaller one then that, in fact, I still do have it mostly because I have no idea what to do with an old VCR recorder since you can't buy anything to play on them anymore. The only thing that I do have is a graphic film of my daughter giving birth to her first born. Something that she later decided wasn't really something that she want anyone to see. Should have thought of that before it was filmed. The other was half of my other daughters wedding that was entrusted to someone I didn't know to film it. Problem was he ran out of film half way through and didn't notice. So much for that. the camera still looks like new though. Know anyone that would like to buy one?
