Getting to Know you #2

First trip (5th Wedding Anniversary - 2003) we stayed in Caribbean Beach - Barbados section. Loved the layout, didn't mind the walking, great bus services.

Since then, we have stayed at Pop Century.

We stayed offsite somewhere for my first visit as a child.

My husband and I stayed at Dixie Landings for our first visit together in Feb. 2000.

In 1987 we stayed offsite somewhere, I don't remember where it was. But it had a pool LOL

2004 we stayed at CSR.

The first time we went was is 1982 and I was 4 years old. We were rookies and stayed at the Sheraton World and my dad says it was because we thought it would be by Disney World. Turns out it was by Sea World, but I remember it had an awesome pool and we had fun. Every trip since we have stayed onsite, it's much closer

Days Inn Kissimmee - the one with the Tiki Bar. OMG, what a dive it was! It was a package deal through our bank, and when we arrived I started crying it was such a dump. We went to the front desk & I told them it was our honeymoon - and we couldn't possibly stay in the room they assigned us. At least they upgraded us to a more spacious, cleaner room (without the water stains & filthy carpet).

off site somewhere,i think it was a holiday inn??

We stayed at the Caribean Beach Resort- I believe in the Jamaica section. It was very nice- I loved the theming.

[Diznee4Me]

It was somewhere in Daytona. It was the early 70's and we used the hotel as a jumping off point to WDW, St. Augustine, Marineland, the beach, etc.

[Faver]

It was in 1974....we stayed at a Holiday Inn offsite!!!

My first trip was in 1997 and we stayed somewhere off-site. The first time I stayed on-site was at Coronado Springs for my honeymoon in 2006.

My first trip was 30 years ago - my parents took my best friend and I and we stayed at a Jellystone campground in their "pop-up" camper. Lots of fun The first time with my own family was 4 years ago and we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside - even more fun!

[NewmanFamily6]

I don't remember exactly but I do remember it was offsite. My family stayed off site every year growing up. Now we stay onsite DVC

[ILoveLegos]

Jacksonville waayyy off site!

[The Flying Dutchman]

First trip DW and I stayed at Coronado Springs (and loved it!)

[Boojum]

This was in 1977, before all the resorts started being built. The only one I remember being there then was the Contemporary.

That being said, we stayed at a Howard Johnson's on Buena Vista Drive. I recall that the swimming pool was shaped like Mickey's Head.

[DisneyOtaku]

My first trip to WDW didn't have a hotel stay--it was a one-day trip (we lived two hours away). When we started spending multiple days there once we moved away, it was at some off-site hotel; there's so many there now, and many have come and gone, I don't remember.

I *do* remember that the first Disney hotel I stayed at was the Carribean

[Norwellian]

was in 1979 at the Hilton on International Drive. There was only MK then.

My first on-site stay was at POFQ in 2004 and I will never stay off-site again. The magic engulfs you the second you reach your resort. This year--Dec. 7-18--will be our first at the Polynesian.

I mentioned this in the other post, but our first hotel was the Contemporary.

[c&d]

It was off site and I believe it was a Howard Johnson's.
