[PirateLover]

We went about a week or two before I started 5th grade in late August of 1995. I was 9 going on 10. I can still vividly remember sitting with a Birnbaum's guide, mapping out all of the rides I wanted to go on before we left.

[WhiteRose1]

I was 6 1/2, it was June 1980.

I have very few memories of the trip... I remember arriving...going on Pirates I think, and HM...and Mr Toad's Wild Ride. OH! and the CBJ! And the Treehouse.. and and and...I got mickey ears! Wee! I still got them, somewhere...very old and beat up.

sigh. I loved it all, except Mr Toad's Wild Ride...that one terrified me.

I was sooo terrified to get on the plane, but was so glad I went! I fell in love wiht Disney the moment I set foot in the park! Being someone who loves good food, I was

[RalsFam]

Grew up in SoCal I went to DL quite a bit. It was our family tradition to on Christmas Eve every year until we moved to the midwest. We are taking our kids and my mom this fall to WDW and I cannot wait.

Aparrently the traffic was horrible that first Thanksgiving. It didn't bother me, though! haha

[NJGIRL]

1978 with my parents and sisters.

[Dsnygirl]

I was "deprived" of Disney growing up, as I had "non-Disney" parents... so I didn't go 'til I was in college, visiting a friend in Orlando. We went to MK, and the love affair began... (Between me and WDW, not my friend, cute though he was... )
