I did too! I loved the mermaid out on the rocks. I always wanted to be that mermaid.I love the old Submarine Voyage. That sea serpent and me are the same age
Me too! They didn't last but a few years, though. The amount of chlorine in the lagoon was murder on their skin and hair. I do like the new guys in the lagoon, though...I did too! I loved the mermaid out on the rocks. I always wanted to be that mermaid.
Oh, they're cute!Me too! They didn't last but a few years, though. The amount of chlorine in the lagoon was murder on their skin and hair. I do like the new guys in the lagoon, though...
Seeing all the cool old rides and attractions that used to be at Disney kind of makes me sad, a lot of them are so cool and unique only to be replaced with stuff for the new IPs. Poor animatronics getting their parts harvested to make new ones for the replacement attractions like some kind of dystopian horror story. Haven't been to Disney World since I was 8, I mostly remember the unbearable lines and bickering between everyone about what to do in one day. I liked the Haunted Mansion a lot though, that was cool.Me too! They didn't last but a few years, though. The amount of chlorine in the lagoon was murder on their skin and hair.

Yes, I understand that. Believe me; I've been going to Disneyland since I was an infant. I remember those old rides and attractions. But Walt said that the Park was meant to grow, change and innovate. And so it has. The memories are there and thank goodness for old 8mm cameras and video.Seeing all the cool old rides and attractions that used to be at Disney kind of makes me sad, a lot of them are so cool and unique only to be replaced with stuff for the new IPs.

Oh, I know. I'm certainly not one of those edgelords on the internet who are like "Bruh I was born in the wrong generation", which is stupid. It's just a bit disheartening as someone who consumes a lot of media from the mid 20th century to know I can't experience not nearly as many things as I'd like to. What am I going to tell my kids and grand kids while trying to explain why half the things I'm into were new in the 3 generations before me? Or even how I know why I somehow know more about it than my parents and grandparents.Yes, I understand that. Believe me; I've been going to Disneyland since I was an infant.

One thing you learn as you get older is that we can't hold onto the past. We can love it and remember it , though. As Neil Peart told us: "changes aren't permanent, but change is."
As a former SCA member and medieval re-enactor, I grok. Honestly, it's nice to see someone in your age group be so interested in that time. Maybe you could get a degree in mid-20th century studies. Then you won't have to explain how you know all this stuff. It will just be your job.Oh, I know.

I was born in the right generation, but I sure hope I live to see the invention of "Time Travel Vacations" (Paradox and permanent time travel changes shenanigans free).
