I noticed this last year. The last place right now to see and feel the 90's at Disney is at Blizzard Beach. The 90's aesthetic is every place. It gave me alot of nostalgic feelings.

90s-2000s were the peak era of Disney parks. Animal Kingdom and DCA were new, and the international parks were expanding. Especially around 2007-ish, when they had that Year of a Million Dreams event at WDW- from service, to attractions, to entertainment- it was all top notch.

In the early 2000's I was in middle and high school on the west coast of FL, and we would go on the weekends. For the past 15 years I thought it was just me and my memory. It really was elite back then, wasn't it?! When I went in 2012 with my husband it just didn't hit the spot like it used to. I haven't been back since and I stay in the know, but I feel like it's lost its luster. Especially in the last 5 years.

I went in 2007 to that. I was 16 and didn’t think I’d be happy at Disney at all. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun Disney was. My standout attraction was Malestrom at Epcot.

When there were beautiful trees in front of the castle and everywhere! It was pure magic! It felt like a beautiful garden small town America! And Disney was really into it! Magical!! It was the perfect recipe so magical!!!

Wow 🥹 some of those dancers on the castle stage taught me shows when I transferred from Disneyland in 2012! Legends!

90's Tomorrowland was something else. Easily the best land immersion Disney ever did, as it wasn't based on any IP and everything was physically present in one way or another. It was all unique. Thanks for posting the great footage. Terribly sad what Disney parks have become.

I especially miss the commercials from this time. The 90s-2006 were the peak of life imo. Just before big technology hit and you still paid attention to the world around you. Plus Disney in this time was probably the best it ever was, imo.

The first time I ever went was ‘95!! I miss those days 😭

Although Disney has become even more immersive with their experiences and brought in so many intellectual properties, I think 90s era Disney was peak family vacation Disney. You still got to enjoy the park, and now people either have to struggle with crowds with every attraction.

Is it weird to feel nostalgic for an era you never grew up in?

Not at all! When I grew up in the 80s and 90s, I was nostalgic for the 50s and 60s when my parents grew up. I enjoyed the music and fashion and wanted to go to an old-fashioned diner.

Omg, the mickey parade was so 90s. 😂

I was at Disney for about a week in 1998, it was the last time I've been there and I see now it has changed A LOT, everything has gotten much more expensive and complicated. The Animal Park had just opened up so we toured all four parks and had a great time. I miss those old days at Disney, it will always be one of my favorite places anywhere.

It's amazing how little the Magic Kingdom has changed since the 90's.

very true

Alien Encounter was one of the best attractions from concept to execution WDW has produced, and I'm not into scare or horror. The casting, direction, acting and script were perfectly mixed with the practical, visual, and the binaural sound effects along with the latest AAs. I remember one visit as a teen, next to me sat a younger teen girl. She nervously asked me "Is this scary?" I calmly looked her straight in the face and with reassurance replied... "No." LOL. It was sad to see it go, but I can understand why.

Wow... everything had color and imagination

The 06 version is the one that was the pinnacle of my childhood. I got my AP this year finally, but i know it would take so much to bring back the era of Disney this was, or even something comparable. It screams "alive."

Wow, loved the “Everyday is a Holiday” stage show!

Its interesting to see how much has changed and how much has remained basically the same. I think out of all the parks MK has changed the least out of all the parks. Especially compared to Hollywood Studios which is a totally different park now!

Correct! The theatre opened on December 15, 1994 as part of the New Tomorrowland renovation, replacing the original Tomorrowland Stage that had been there since 1980. The site was converted into a backstage parking area and a meet and greet location for Stitch, it was permanently closed on January 4, 2009 and was demolished shortly after.

I was lucky enough to visit while the Alien Encounter was running. I can remember now the breath of the alien on my neck and the smell. There was a young child in my group and the poor thing was so scared, her parents were trying to calm her down in the shop.

Miss PIrates quite a bit. Worked there while in high school from 96-98. When the video came up, I can still smell the ride. Yes, it had a smell that only those who worked there know. I still have two coins that “I found” while in the treasure room. Was a great time and the park was a great place to visit. Now, I will not take my daughter because of how disappointing the MK is. Was there New Year’s Day 2023 and the cast members are, well, they are horrible. Even when I was in high school, I realized that people were there to enjoy themselves and they paid a lot to do so. Most The cast members i had contact with last year were not happy and there was no effort to create any “magic”.

Ah yes, when the castle looked like it came from the pages of a magical fairy-tale instead of a mismatched toy shop

I was at WDW in 1997 during the 25th anniversary. Does it seem like WDW in the 90's is like DL today? I went to DL and it reminded me of WDW in 1997. Nostalgic! ❤️

Notice how everything was way more patriotic and the women were actually attractive. Now Disney just holds drag queen shows and try to get into political wars that involve with innocent CHILDREN! It’s sad and embarrassing how gross my favorite entertainment company has gotten. Ever since like 2015-2016, there were definitely warning signs in movies like Finding Dory, but I always kind of ignored it since I was always so excited whenever a new Disney movie/sequel came out. Now, I just don’t bother anymore. I MIGHT go see Moana 2 and maybe an Incredibles 3/Rio 3 if it ever gets made, but other than that, I’m just so done. Would rather spend my money at Universal and/or Busch Gardens/Sea World.
