Nowadays, we’ve grown accustomed to things changing at Disney World. In addition to TONS of additions and new construction, this frequently means nostalgic items (and clown slides…) are removed!

At Magic Kingdom, the epicenter of Disney World nostalgia, we noticed some longtime fixtures have been removed from Main Street, U.S.A.! 

Call us old fashioned, but we’ll ALWAYS have a soft spot for mailing letters and sending postcards! Remember letters? Like email, but paper!

Letters for Santa

This is why we’ve always had an affection for the adorably old-timey mailboxes at Magic Kingdom! Not only were they beautiful (and SUPER Americana!), but once upon a time, you could literally use them to send letters!

Welp, those days are sadly over, as we have confirmed with Cast Members that the mailboxes have officially been taken away!

We knew the park’s mailing services were done, but the boxes were still there at least — they were just locked and kept around for decor. Maybe this day was inevitable, but it doesn’t make us any less wistful!
