The Original Journey into Imagination... with Figment AND the Dreamfinder.

(Although I'll take the current one over the nearly Figmentless middle atrocity any day.)

I miss the Rocket Rods too. They were our generation's Flying Saucer. They were a lot of fun while they lasted!
I guess because I work in retail, I miss the uniqueness in the shops at DL. Every shop has almost all Disney branded products in it now. I remember when there were shops that carried antiques (or good reproductions), non-Disney cookbooks, Pendalton, western toys (Some of my first Breyer horses came from DL.) ,etc, etc. Seeing all Disney gets so boring sometimes.
Oh and the Art Corner. I really,really, wish I had seen that place.

I forgot two:
Carousel of Progress
America Sings

After watching a full video of America Sings, I can safely say this is one of the coolest attractions I never got to see. And CoP's song "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" is awesome too.

How could I forget the Pendleton store. I'd always buy at least one shirt every time I went to DL.

I second that. Wish I could visit there more often than once or twice a decade...

Delta Dreamflight was one of my favorites as a kid. I am so glad Buzz kept one effect from that.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Maybe that's what I'm remembering. Did Eastern Airlines also sponsor it at one time?
