Do you recall this charmingly anachronistic animation? For decades Disney had a projection of a horse and chariot racing through the streets of ancient Rome in Spaceship Earth. You didn’t imagine it, it was real and fans notice this stuff!

It’s 1996 and your parents are super excited about this new CD-ROM that allows them to virtually visit WDW! The Walt Disney World Explorer actually was great for its time. Does anyone else remember this or are we the only nerds who bought it?

Did you or anyone you know win anything during the “Year of a Million Dreams”? From late 2006 through 2008 (that’s not a year BTW) Disney gave away Fast Passes, merch, trips & more; we got jack, maybe a FP or two. Any big winners out there? Even this “Dream FP” would be awesome!

Disneyland, amazingly, continues to squeeze room for new attractions out of its tiny space. Meanwhile Walt Disney World doesn’t know what to do with all it’s land. Have you noticed this area?What would you use it for? We could have an entire haunted land!

Tokyo gets all the best stuff! Remember, the Oriental Land Co. is demolishing Space Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland so they can build a new modern one from scratch. Old news we know but are you ever envious of Tokyo Disney, or even flat out jealous, or sometimes angry? We are!

Who else spent hours dominating Walt Disney World Quest Magical Racing Tour? No disrespect to Mario, but this is our favorite racing game! Legit WDW courses with great details. And the best part— hidden shortcuts!

People always rush through this queue section in the Seas with Nemo. But it's awesome for 2 reasons. 1) It has maybe the best themed Disney railings anywhere! 2) This is original waiting area for Living Seas' Deluge movie. Old Epcot, baby! Anyone else think of this EVERY TIME?

Did you ever run into PUSH, the talking robotic trash can? He used to roam around Tomorrowland harassing guests for nearly 20 years before being dumped for some reason in 2014. If you ever saw him as a kid it was easy to think you made him up but he was 100% real!

Sometimes it's the subtle details that matter. The exit speedramp at Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion features ICONIC yellow bats. Disneyland goes for a full-on never-ending rug pattern. Both are cool. Do you prefer simple or ornate?
