Today in 2002: Journey Into Your Imagination with Figment opened, replacing the infamously bad Journey Into YOUR Imagination and bringing Figment back at last — do you remember how rough that 1999 version was?

Today in 1987: If You Had Wings closed and was replaced by If You Could Fly, ending the Eastern‑Airlines‑sponsored era of the ride — do you remember the original version?

@webmaster_major To me that rocket was a great call back to Disneyland's tomorrowland at the time.

Today in 1994: Astro Orbiter lifted off in Tomorrowland taking over the skies once ruled by the original Star Jets. What do you remember most about the Star Jets era?

@SemperParatusTN To this day I am still terrified (obviously on Astro Orbiter these days). I'm not great with heights AND I get motion sick. Not my top ride. 😂

@SiLLyDJ_ssb https://t.co/JLk99b5KMn is an amazing replacement for it (and they keep it current and updated too with new things)!

[Extinct Disney @ExtinctDisney]

@AmyAllendorf It's absolutely wild to see your photos of the party because, here are mine from when I was there (and wow do they look similar)!

Today in 1990, Mickey’s Starland opened at Magic Kingdom — the scrappy, character‑packed makeover of Mickey’s Birthdayland that kept the party going for a whole new wave of kids. What’s the first thing you remember doing in Starland?

Today in 2017: Pandora – The World of Avatar opened at Animal Kingdom, replacing Camp Minnie‑Mickey with floating mountains and glowing forests.
Which era do you miss more — Camp Minnie‑Mickey or Pandora?

Today in 1986, the “Tomorrow’s Child” era of Spaceship Earth debuted — narrated by Walter Cronkite and wrapped in that dreamy, synth‑soaked optimism only EPCOT could deliver. What’s your strongest memory of the Cronkite version?

Today in 1998: DisneyQuest soft opened at Downtown Disney, taking over the old Fireworks Factory with 5 floors of VR, build‑your‑own‑coaster fun, & digital chaos before internet could keep up. What was the first thing you always ran to inside the cube? https://t.co/s9PK15bKg4

[Extinct Disney @ExtinctDisney]

Today in 2008: Virtual Magic Kingdom (VMK) logged out for the very last time — closing the gates on one of Disney’s most beloved online worlds. What was your favorite VMK memory — designing rooms, pin trading, or trying to survive Fireworks Frenzy?

Today in 2005, Lights, Motors, Action! screeched onto the scene at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. What was your favorite moment — the motorcycle slide, the rooftop chase, or the big finale jump?

Today in 1997, Yehaa Bob debuted at Walt Disney World — kicking off decades of piano‑pounding, crowd‑shaking chaos at Port Orleans Riverside. What’s your favorite memory of his show?

Today in 1969, Disney officially announced the creation of Walt Disney World — the moment the Florida Project shifted from early public reveal to a fully committed, state‑partnered, going‑to-happen reality.
