Another 4 Questions!

[Missy_Mouses_Dad]

1) 1986
2) 28
3) flew
4) I was scared to death on the plane, having never flown before. The stewardess gave me wings. I had never seen a palm tree before, and we drove to an orange grove. I bought baseball caps at every park (some more than 1) which I still some of them have today.

1. When did you first visit WDW? 1976

2. How old were you? 12

3. How did you get there? Greyhound bus...now this would never happen these days, but I won a trip through the Indianapolis Star (I was a paerboy and the contest required you to sell 25 subscriptions in a month...I won the trip 3 years in a row)
I remember waking up on the bus (we drove all night) and seeing palm trees for the first time...and spending a day at Daytona Beach...then going to Disney the next day with basically per dieums for lunch and dinner...and doing all of this with little to no adult supervision...this would never fly now!

4.What is your most vivid memory of that trip? Being so excited about seeing the castle that I completely missed the monorail...I ran straight to the ferry dock...something I still do now...first trip over to MK must be on the boat!

What a great thread, LovinWDW!

1. 1972
2. I was 12 years old...my little brother was 4
3. My family drove from Cincinnati
4. We stayed in the Polynesian, and I vividly remember the spine-tingling thrill of seeing the Main Street Electrical Parade and the Water Parade from the balcony of our hotel room. I still get a chill when I hear that music (I think it's called "Electric Baroque" or something like that) on my Classic Disney CD.

2. 33 years old
3. Flew from CA where we live.
4. I remember walking under the train station and onto Main Street at MK with my husband and 2 kids. I just started crying. I had wanted to come for so long and being there was more magical than I ever expected.

The other thing I remember is waiting for dinner in the castle. I looked over and my DD (5 at the time), was laying on the ground looking under Cinderella's skirt. I was just getting up to ask her what she was doing (ok, yell at her) when she ran across the lobby yelling, "She does wear the glass slippers, Mom! She does!" It was priceless!

[BAMABOY]

1. 1976
2. I was 6
3. We drove down in my Grandparents 1970 Buick Electra 225, me, my parents and my grandparents and we still had lots of room. we were also pulling a pop up camper, not so much room, and we stayed in Snow Whites Campground in Kissimmee. I don't even know if it is still there.
4.I can remember standing in line for SM. We were not sure exactly what it was so there was no way my mom would get on it, she rode BTMR for the first time in 09'. Anyhow, we were on the ride and back then you sat two to a seat and I was kinda in my dads lap. We went down the first drop, I reached back to grab my dad and I guess my arms were to short and I could not touch him! I began to scream, "DADDY, ARE YOU STILL HERE!!!". We still laugh about that.

1. When did you first visit WDW? 1976
2. How old were you? i was 8.
3. How did you get there? well my mom and dad told us kids we were going to spend a weekend at a hotel, just to get away from things for a while. drove to the hotel out by the Kansas City airport and for some reason my dad decided he wanted to see a plane up close. we got the airport, and thats when they told us we were flying to Disneyworld. the first of many surprise tirps.
4.What is your most vivid memory of that trip? honestly? i remember we got to orlando and couldnt' find the hotel. we were all starving so we stopped at a Steak and Shake. For some reason it was just so good that we made it a family tradition. every time we flew into orlando we woudl stop at a steak and shake.
In 1999 i went back to Disney w/ my brother (much younger brother by about 20 years), and my gf. I hadn't been to disney in about 10 years myself. they were so confused why i was so excited to stop at a Steak and Shake before we got to our hotel! ha

1. 1996

2. 34

3. My first visit was taking my high school band to WDW, so DW and I rode 36 hours on a bus with 80 high school band kids and their parents.

4. Marching in the 3:00 parade, past the castle and down Mainstreet as tens of thousands of people cheered. The word "awesome" is way over-used, but that expereince really was "awesome".

It was 92 degrees, but my kids looked great, and we still high-stepped the last curve around the flagpole. I was so proud. This was one of the best experiences of my life.

1. 1991
2. 4
3. Train from Philadelphia
4. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about Disney this trip. But I remember being bitten by a duck at our rental house, and I remember being scared to death at Mystery Fun House in Orlando. We went again in 1992 so the trips kind of bleed together.

Good questions, keep them coming!

1. When did you first visit WDW?
1998, for our honeymoon.

2. How old were you?
We were 27 years old.

3. How did you get there?
Delta Airlines and rental car.

4.What is your most vivid memory of that trip?
Well, it was our honeymoon!
However, assuming you mean a WDW memory, I'd say our most vivid memory is walking through the doors of the grand Wilderness Lodge lobby, full of anticipation for the nine days ahead, and spending our life together in marriage.
