I know many great attractions and other items have been added in the past few years, but also some have been taken away.
The items we miss the most are as follows:
1. The Great Movie Ride - Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad just doesn't do anything for me.
2. The Backlot Tour
3. Lights, Motor, and Action!
4. Toon Town - My grandkids loved seeing Mickey and Minnie's house.
5. A "real" burger at the ABC Commissary
6. Flights of Wonder
7. The Tomb Warriors in the China Pavillon
8. FastPass+ - at least I knew I could get three rides without much trouble.
9. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
10. Rivers of Light - A great show
11. Main Street Electrical Parade or Spectromagic
12. The Roast Beef Sandwich with Arugula and Horseradish at The Lunching Pad - It was great!!
What do you miss at Walt Disney World?

Magical Express! This was the one perk that was a great way to start our trip off. Even better, when you dropped your luggage off at the airline check in and it was delivered to your stateroom. Could just get off of ME and start the day with a park!

Backlot Express
Great Movie Ride (I think the replacement is a waste of space)
Figment where the skunk smell smelled bad rather than the current "nicer" smell.
Cranium Command
Body Works
FP+
Innovations (particularly the virtual roller coaster where our kids designed and then rode their own rides).
Annual Passes!!! We let's our lapse during Covid never thinking they would disappear.
Ellen's Energy. It was corny but fun and a good place to cool off.
Food, including quick service, where there were differences between places rather than the new homogenized menu's.
Think Flight of Passage is excellent.

Being able to park hop at a reasonable time. It's hosing things up for us next week.
A lot in DHS. The animation courtyard. Walter Croncat. Original Osborne Lights. Backlot Tour. Lights Motor Action.
Epcot - hot mess there. I really miss the original Journey. Body Wars. Universe of Energy. Maelstrom. A good night time show. The ability to walk through the center of the old Communicore areas. Morocco with shops and good food.
In general I miss shows and such that hasn't reopened.

Package delivery to the resorts
Magical Express being available, even if I didn't use it much.
Narcoosee's beiing open
real plates and silverware at the Riviera
The openness of EPCOT's entranceway
I hate to say it, but FastPass
Riding with the driver on the monorail
Tables in Wonderland
Ability to buy an Annual Pass
Night time Parades
Parks less crowded, especially less crowded with rude people
Horizons
Lower DVC point cost
and I am sure I could come up with more if I gave it some real thought.

Riding with the driver on the monorail…that’s a good one! Definitely. We did it once from MK to the Poly and it was really cool. We did have a grumpy driver, who was probably tired of answering the same questions that every guest asked. |

Great thread - thanks for starting it.
Figment Ride with Dreamfinder - not a fan of the "revised" ride
ME and Luggage transfer
Ability to purchase an AP
Fastpass+ - the ability to know we could plan access to a few high demand rides made the ticket price a little less painful to pay
Nighttime Electric Light parades at MK
Afternoon Parade at AK (I forget the name)
Great Movie Ride
Star Wars Weekends at the Studios - it was great to see the Guests come in dressed up
Resort Room theming - now about the only interior difference between resorts are the wall photos
Available space at MK to see the evening shows. Before it was just handicapped restricted areas - now it's more and more areas restricted pay more for "party/viewing access".

I have video of my then 2 yr old pushing the oven button in Minnie's house over and over to bake the cake again and again. Priceless! Myself, I loved the MSEP. |

Since most of the things I miss have already been mentioned, I'll just add a few-Cinderella's Royal Table at lunch with a menu but without characters (pre-2005), the Osbourne Lights Annual Passholder Preview with the free cookies, and already I miss Splash Mountain.
