The Disney Park Decades: If You Could Go Back In Time
If you could go back in time, what Disney Park Decade would you choose to visit?
For me, 1980's Disneyland and Disneyworld would be awesome...
I never got the chance to dance at Videopolis:
or see the opening of EPCOT Center, but would have loved to have been there...
Even though Disney was struggling in the 1980's, it was the end of the classic Disney era.
What about you? 1950's, 1990's?

For me it would be the 1990s. The main reason is that everything that was great about the 1980s was completed by 1990. All of the greatness of Epcot was there in the early 90s, plus we got Animal Kingdom in 1998. So, I think visiting the parks in the early 90s would still give that nostalgic feeling and the later 90s would give us more of what we have now.
1986: Offsite
1997: Offsite
2001: Coronado Springs
2008: Shades of Green / Saratoga Springs (WDW Half Marathon)
2009: Port Orleans French Quarter (WDW Half Marathon)
2010: Port Orleans Riverside (Honeymoon)
2011: Old Key West / Bay Lake Tower
2014: Kidani Village
2015: Old Key West (5th Wedding Anniversary)
2016: Old Key West (Kids' first WDW vacation in December!)
Good point. I think right about 1996 things started going downhill. Perhaps the death of Frank Wells (1994) left the Eisner era without a rudder for the ship.theBIGyowski wrote:...I think visiting the parks in the early 90s would still give that nostalgic feeling and the later 90s would give us more of what we have now.

I voted for the 70's but it would have to be from about 1975 to 1985. Those were great years at WDW!!

I would have to go with the 1980's. I would love to see classic EPCOT and a Tomorrowland that was actually appropriately themed at MK.
Also, moving this to General. I think it fits in best there.

From what I have heard/read online, I'm going to say the 1980's.
