You can't go up into Sleeping Beauty Castle anymore. The doors at the inside base of the castle were entry doors. You could enter at the bottom, climb steps up, and they'd have these cool little 3D dioramas of the story of Sleeping Beauty. It was really great for little kids.

They took this away not too long ago: we used to take our kid there. And it's all still inside, they just won't open the door. Why close it? Why not just have a warning sign on the door about how many steps are involved? Or make the stairs bigger? It was a narrow stairway because it was designed that way for kids. (Kids are small.) Who designed it? Walt.

The Blue Bayou - yes you can get in but it's difficult. Why make it difficult? Why not increase the hours of the operation or speed up the food delivery or just go back to a sign-up system that's convenient to guests at the park that day?

Keep in mind that Walt had to fight EVERYONE for these rides & restaurants. Nobody thought the Treehouse was a good idea; even his Imagineers. The Plaza Inn was Walt's idea - he wanted good food in a clean setting.

Everyone thought the Haunted Mansion wouldn't work; it was thought to be too scary. Pirates took too long to go through. Making Presidents into robots was sacrilidge. But time and time again Walt had to put his foot down, and tell people to SHUT UP and DO IT. Every single minute of the day Walt was working for the public, not the engineers and the lawyers. The lawyers told him over and over that you couldn't build the Treehouse because people would fall out of it.

Walt built it anyway, cause he wanted the biggest treehouse in the world.
