I was inspired to write this weeks Tiggerific Tuesday Trivia based off of a Newspaper Article I read this last week. It was about the closures of theme parks and attractions throughout the Orlando Area. Below are the ones from Walt Disney World.

I love seeing the old flashback pictures! Thanks for linking up this list. Many of these things I remember, others I do not. The one from this list that I miss the most is definitely 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea!
I love seeing all these old attractions!
Great to see these old pics of bygone attractions!
