Remember When?

Remember Epcot used to have a fantastic ride called Horizons? And the theme song for that ride promised "new horizons for you and me" in the future?

Remember When?

Remember when The Land at Epcot ended with this great little song?

Remember When?

I found this great clip on YouTube. It's from the Magic Kingdom's daily parade in 1977. It's remarkable because so few people had video cameras back then and the sound and video are very good considering it was 1977!

Parades from the Past - Walt Disney World's 15th Anniversary Parade

1986 marked the 15th anniversary of Walt Disney World. To celebrate, a new parade in the Magic Kingdom was introduced. The parade featured roller skaters, some funky break dancing inspired moves... all very 1980's! There were even some great lyrics suck as "You're looking good, you're looking fine, you're looking just like Frankenstein."

Overall, this parade was a fun, classic 1980’s Walt Disney World parade… fun with great music.

Walt Disney World's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Gone, but not forgotten, Mr. Toad's wild ride lives on thanks to YouTube. Although the last ride to "nowhere inparticular" took place on September 7, 1998 (at WDW at least; the ride still lives on at Disneyland), I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Remember When?

The tickets at Walt Disney World had date stamps and you had to have your hand stamped if you wanted to re-enter the park (and then it was stamped with ink that was only visable under black light)?

Parades from the Past - Mickey's Street Party

The first parade I remember seeing at Walt Disney World was in 1984. It was Mickey's Street Party and it was fantastic. I had seen other parades at the Magic Kingdom before but was too young to remember any of them. After looking online for a clip of this parade for years, I finally came across two clips on YouTube.

It seems just like yesterday yet it seams so dated. The 80's clothes and hairstyles seem so foreign. And the great synthesized 80's music is dated but great! I think this is one of, if not the best, Disney parade song. I wish they did parades like this still.

In case you didn’t catch it in 1984, here it is again for you!
