| I was at Walt Disney world in 1993 and did a few things there even went to Disney MGM and EPCOT center and I'd do it again. One thing I'd like to know; Has anything changed there that I should know about since 1993? Thank you

| Yeah, it's not MGM anymore, but Disneys Hollywood studios. Epcot has had 2 facelifts since then. Magic kingdom has some new rides, while older ones are gone. I don't know if splash mountain was there or not in '93, but it's a flume ride base on Braer Rabbit. I think 20,000 leagues under the sea is gone, as well as the indy car ride and Tom Sawyers Island. Epcot has mission: space, which has alread claimed like 3 lives. There is also the NASCAR experience, if you're into that sort of thing. Alien encounter was replaced by something to do with Stitch, of Lelu and Stich. Other things I'm sure I'm unaware of. I usually go to Universal-Islands of adventure. The admission is much cheaper and I think it's a better park all around.

I'm glad to hear 20m leagues is gone.
Man oh man did I flip out on that ride when I was a kid. My parents took me on that ride and I guess I Was a little too young and when the sub went down I started screaming and crying because I thought we were going to be drowning.
I can't say about the theme parks but there are a number of night time entertainment districts outside of the parks with bars/night clubs and restaurants.

With advancement all over the world and web, Walt Disney has also experienced some good advancements. Walt Disney symbolizes fun.

I'm personally of the opinion that many of the "rides" and exhibits can only truly be appreciated and enjoyed by adults. It's fun to view some of stuff through a kid's eyes, but I had a blast at all the parks without any kids in tow.
The kid inside me was all that was necessary. ![[bounce]](/forums/themes/default/1syellow1.gif)

I thought ToonTown was a riot. But I did love rooting it up in the Pirates of the Carribean and It's a Small World. Tiki Gardens rocked!
Epcot was my favorite with a British pub and all those neat things from difft countries. Talk about world shopping in one spot! 
Looking forward to Universal Studios tho.

They have just reopened Court House Square (better known as the "Back to the Future Set") to the trams again. It was closed due to the fire.
Universal is a really fun place. Tram ride is very interesting. Hopefully you get the full ride, if there is a company shooting on a set they can't take you through there. ( I always feel really bad when shooting at Court House Square since the tourists, especially the kids get really excited by that location).
I have not been on the lot since the fire so I don't know the current status for places such as New York Street and that general area of the lot / tour.
In the amusement area of course there is a lot of fun stuff to check out, a great place to spend the day with the family. There is also CityWalk right there. Nice place to grab a bite to eat and look around but be aware, the shops are expensive and the food is jacked up a bit in price as well.
Oh and the "Back to the Future Ride" which was my favorite has been replaced with the Simpsons ride. Being a major Simpsons fan I am cool with that. I have not had the chance to ride it yet.
