Why did they remove all the old fashioned vehicle rides from Main Street, etc?

I remember riding old trollies pulled by horses and fire trucks on Main Street. What happened to them? I remember riding on those old double decked buses at Epcot or riding on canoes or Mike Fink's rafts going to Tom Sawyer's Island. What happened to them?

The Main Street vehicles still run a little in the morning, you just have to stick around for fun and atmosphere instead of rope dropping the other attractions.

I guess Epcot got too busy for the double-decker bus.

For canoes and Main Street vehicles running most of the day, you'll have to visit that other "Magic Kingdom", Disneyland, to experience that wonderful transportation the way Walt intended.

Yes! We went to Disneyland last year and were so happy to see all the Main Street transportation running all day.

Double decker buses at Epcot.

I just had a flash from the past. I think they made have been recycled into parades now? Someone may know better than I. Thanks for the memories.

We just rode the horse drawn streetcar at the MK a few days ago with The Dapper Dans.

It was just my family and one other family. I notice many people just walk on by and don't seem all that interested. We always hop aboard when we see them.

They were still there in January. They don't run all day long, mostly only in the morning.

Yep, can confirm they are still there. The last few times we went at RD (as recently as 2 weeks ago), they were running the vehicles including the trolley and double-decker bus. I've also only seen them close to first-thing in the morning.

They often run in the mornings. I think it might be due to the crowd levels, ut I could be wrong. I know that at DLR the double decker bus and fire truck seem to run throughout the day.

As for canoes and Mike Fink Keel Boats, those are long gone from WDW. DLR still has the canoes seasonally.

They're available every morning from 9am to 10:15am. I believe the reason it ends at 10:15 is because the drivers are also PAC CMs (parade and Audience Control) and there is a Move It! Shake It! Dance & Play It! Street Party at 11:30.
