Well if we are going to mourn this morning... Annual Passes Osborne Lights Individually themed resorts and resort souvenirs (quality souvenirs) MSEP Fast Passes Citizens of Main Street The Great Movie Ride MSEP Resort Airline Check-in Airport to resort luggage transfer Splash Mountain MSEP Random character interactions (have pictures from the kids' first trip of the Dwarves, Tweedle Dee and Dum, etc., just hanging out and taking pics in Fantasy Land) Courtesy and respect for others (miss this in general, not specific to Disney) Package delivery TO YOUR ROOM MSEP EPCOT fountain The "off season" Unrestricted park hopping MSEP Fireworks that could be enjoyed from ANYWHERE Now, I absolutely ADORE Pandora! One of the best things Disney has built in a very long time! The whole area is just phenomenal. I could spend hours there, if it weren't quite so "peopley"  I don't like Star Wars Land. Not the right Star Wars, didn't get my bantha rides, not a fan of Darth Poser. And if they were going to spend that much on simulated rust and dust, they could have at least drawn more crowds away from FOP... just sayin... But there is still so much that I love about Disney. Still my happy place (well, Disney and my sewing room...). I would just like to see a little more magic, for a little less money.  Did I mention that I miss MSEP? |

But.... That's the thing. The replacements are not as good as the original. And why replace? Why not add without taking away? They need more rides to help with the crowds. For me some are:
Test Track >> World of Motion
OK, maybe that's the only one that's better 
Cheers.

Test Track >> World of Motion Oh we are going to have to disagree on that one! (He says, realizing that Test Track consistently garners 90-120 minute waits) |

Test Track >> World of Motion Oh we are going to have to disagree on that one! (He says, realizing that Test Track consistently garners 90-120 minute waits) Not with Single Rider. And with 3 people per row, we almost always end up in the same car anywa.
Cheers.

Epcot's Lights of Winter (along with many of the other "retired" attractions/services/perks already mentioned. I'm thankful on a daily basis that I didn't let my AP lapse and worry, also on a daily basis, that Disney will take away AP renewals....

7. Citizens of Main Street

I'm thankful on a daily basis that I didn't let my AP lapse and worry, also on a daily basis, that Disney will take away AP renewals.... We weren’t going to be returning for more than a year. So I would have paid for an entire year that we didn’t use just to be able to keep my AP. Wasn’t worth it. May 2022 was our last trip, and I won’t be back until October 2023. |

My biggest three would be Osborne Christmas Lights and Spectromagic in the parks and the band at the Grand Floridian. I wish we had ridden Great Movie one last time and Mr. Toad and Snow Whites Scary Adventure but I have my fond memories.

Appreciate the topic, thanks for starting it!
Magical Express
FP+
Unrestricted park hopping
Original Journey into Imagination
The Great Movie Ride
Osbourne Lights
Free wine and spirit seminars at International Food and Wine
Baklot tour
Main Street Electrical Parade
Riding with the monorail driver
Downtown Disney (While I really like Disney Springs, when it was the smaller Downtown Disney it was a relaxing place to get away from the crowds),
Airline check-in at the hotel. (check bags in the morning and forget about them until we got home)
Tables in Wonderland
"Day of" restaurant reservations made with a real person over the phone (with abundant availability)
I still love WDW, but there are nostalgic things I miss and would like to be sharing with the grandkids.
