    Default My 40th Birthday trip

    We are driving back from a 4 day magical trip!!! We were in the MK to celebrate it's 40th Birthday Saturday. It was awesome. My brother & youngest DD came on this trip with me. He was actually at WDW on opening day 40 years ago. We did MNSSHP for the 1st time & loved every minute of it!!! The parade & fireworks were amazing. We all dressed up & trick or treated through the candy stations. Where else can you do that as a grown-up? We also went to the Food & wine Festiaval for the first time. We sampled all sorts of interesting food and drinks. I don't like beer or wine but I was glad to see they offered other drink alternatives. I will definitely be coming back during this time of year again!!! We have been to Disney a lot over the years - my brother over 40 times & me over 30 times & we both were noticing how it seemed more of that old Disney magic seemed to be back in the parks. The CM's were all so happy & friendly. I also noticed that the parks were cleaner than the last time I was there. There also seemed to be supervisors everywhere!!! We had a fabulous time! Needless to say, I'm very sad to be driving home.

    How nice to have been to the 40th celebration. You have so many nice memories and this must have been so special for your brother having been at the opening. Thanks for the report.

    While it's disappointing to leave, it sure sounds like you had a wonderful time and the magic was all around. Thanks for sharing!

    How lucky you were to be there on the 40th anniversary!

    Thanks for sharing that you fell the "old" magic back! I hope that's true for us when we arrive in 9 days!
