    2002. It was "100 Years of Magic" Celebration, which was really great. It was also my Honeymoon. And finally, it was the only trip I've taken in the summer....I learned my lesson.

    I think it was 75 or 76. Was it even called WDW back then? There was only the Magic Kingdom I believe.

    Yes. It was going to be called Disney World prior to Walt Disney's death. After Walt's death and before the resort opened, Roy Disney had the name changed to Walt Disney World.

    My first visit was in 1994.

    Neither my wife nor I were able to go as children, so we went together in December 1985 as a belated 10th anniversary present to ourselves.
    Next month we are going to celebrate our 35th.
    35+ trips to WDW since 1985...and it never gets old.

    October, 1971. I was 15. The Magic Kingdom had only been open a few weeks. The Contemporary and Polynesian hotels were there, but not much else. No Epcot, no other parks or resorts. There was no Space Mountain, Splash Mountain or Big Thunder yet, but it did have 20K Under the Sea. We camped off-site. Had to buy the old A-E ticket books, each ride required use of a ticket. I still have some of those old A tickets.

    The first was 1976 with my grandparents and little sister. By far though the most memorable was in 1995 when I went with my boyfriend (husband now-micky 95). I get all mushy feeling inside when I think about the trip, but ya know I think they keep getting better.
    first trip 1976
    27 trips since and counting!
