Back in the day, but the new day is OK too!
my gwad what a piece of poop it looked like back in the days....look at how much more detail and charm there is now on Buena Vista Street compared to this blob of MEH - Dave

Don't you talk negatively about my beloved Golden Gate Bridge! 😡 - Slotherini 886.9 #99 6:35AM
Now that I got that out of the way, I never really knew that the entrance was supposed to look like a greeting card until that entrance was gone... - Slotherini 886.9 #99 6:37AM
Now that the refurb is complete, it seems so obvious that all of that was meant to be temporary, lol. It was so cheesy-looking. I truly love driving over the real Golden Gate, and I felt like this was barely even a shadow of the real thing. I have good memories of the early DCA, but it's all so much more meaningful and attached to Walt Disney's life and legacy now. And it just looks more permanent. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.2 #285 6:46AM
I do love that it is all one theme now, but I too miss the Golden Gate Bridge. It's too iconically California to be gone. :) - AngelaSparrow

It reminds me of a box of crayolas for some reason. - aidensmama

Whenever I walk into DCA, I'm always trying to visualize where everything was before the refurb compared to today. I know that the bridge hasn't moved and the Main Entrance has actually moved north a few feet. And from there that's all I could figure out from looking at old maps and photos... - BaseballMickey_CM

Aww, the old California Adventure! I kinda miss it. I really wanted them to leave the big California letters up in the front. - AandV

The California letters and bridge were the sadest parts to go. However the end result is ah-mah-zing!! To me it was a small sacrifice to pay to get the gorgeousness that we have now. - Waites4DodgerEars

Keep those old pics in the vault. Disney did an amazing and much needed $1 billion improvement on DCA. It is now a truly one of a kind Disney park. - polo33

I was fine with DCA 1.0. I guess I'm easy. But I am looking forward to visiting and connecting with 2.0 - PrincessDuckie

This makes me a little nostalgic because it's what it looked like when we first got passes and started going regularly. That being said, it looks SOOOOO much better now. So much more to do and see. - LaneSparrow316

It looked soo plain compared to what it is now.. Although, I did like the music and the "California" feel. I really miss the letters, but I love the new entrance and BVS. - Armenda

I was born and raised in the Bay Area...as were my parents and grandparents and I must say I do not miss this at all! LOVE the real Golden Gate though! - MinnieMousewife
