What year did you first visit WDW?

[Disneypixie513]

1997. I was five. I don't remember too much, but I do remeber meeting Ariel for the first time. The Little Mermaid was my favorite movie, and I even had Ariel tennis shoes. I was so thrilled with her reaction to my wearing shoes with her on it. I don't think I'll ever forget it.

1978....when I was 4. My mom took my sister, cousin and two of our friends by herself!! She is an awesome mom!

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.

It was the summer of either 1969 or 1970 before MK opened. We stopped to see my dad who was working construction. Main Street was not even paved. I remember there was a guest book that we each signed. I still wonder what happened to that book.
Of course we were there on opening day. I haven't miss an opening yet. MK is still my favorite.

August 1974...I was 13. Not much there, as compared to now, but, ohhh...I thought it was the greatest place ever. So great, that in 1980, DD and I spent our belated honeymoon / 1st anniversary there. And this year, will be there for our 31st anniversary w/our teenage DD. Some things have remained comfortably the same, and alot of things have changed. Some good, and some not-so-good. But one thing that hasn't changed is our love for the World!

Oh, I think it was 78-79 - not really sure. I have some cool pictures. I mainly remember standing in line for Space Mountain for a long time outside and being scared of the Snow White ride.

1977 - I was 3 1/2 years old. My family drove down from New York to Florida in my dad's purple Datsun station wagon.

The one thing I remember from that trip is when we were down there Elvis died.

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.

I actually still have 2 c and a b! Right on!

FAR FAR TOO LONG!

My DW and me both dreamt about it all my life, but my parents never took us on any big vacations like that. They did get me to Disneyland on a regular basis though!

Now, my children DS 7 DD 5 will be making their 4th trip next week. DS1 first trip!
