Tear to my eye:

Peter Pan
Pooh
Small World

Bad Refurbs:

Spaceship Earth (still love it but horrid narration and ending)

Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico (The ducks have nothing to do with telling a real story about Mexico, and since all other countries try to stay true to their actual country it makes no sense. El Rio Del Tiempo was asweome)

TTA, not a fan at all of that soundtrack they put in with the fake cartoon narration.

I am reading everyone else's responses and it occurs to me that mine probably seem weird! I am sure you are all thinking "Who cries at the Country Bears???"


I probably owe an explanation - it (and the EWP) are both very nostalgic for me because my family went to WDW every 2 years for Christmas when I was growing up...always stayed at FW...and back then on the 1st night you didn't want to waste a ticket so we had to entertain ourselves outside the parks - hence lots of family QT time during EWP. There wasn't any Boardwalk or DTD...we are so spoiled these days!!!

My Dad's FAVORITE attraction was the Country Bears, and when he was sick we couldn't do any fast rides (heart condition) so we spent most of our time in the "show" type rides. He passed away when I was 14, and to this day when I go to the Country Bears it really takes me back to being there with him. I am usually sitting in there sobbing and people are looking at me like "I know it's corny, but don't cry!"

Anyway - I am sure it seemed odd...thought I better explain!!!!

I still remember the old World of Disney shows on Sunday nights. There was a show about Disneyland/or world that showed It's a Small World, The Hall of Presidents, and Dumbo. So those are the rides that say Disney to me.

I miss the old tiki room and the song that went with it. And I may be the only one who misses the Wonders of Life Pavillion.

That is the epitome of getting warm and fuzzies from Disney.

[Nermel9]

Classic Disney attractions for me are the Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, the Carousel of Progress and the TTA, of course (although, now I guess it's totally different, huh?).

I also miss Kitchen Kabaret, that was adorable!

[MMMD]

I get tears in my eyes the second I get to Main Street.

I'm not crazy about Tiki room anymore but my kiddies like it so I can't complain.
