I posted significantly earlier with the first picture from "my" collection (when I was 19 or so), but I finally remembered to dig through my mom's collection and found a picture from my first visit.

Please try to contain your laughter. Remember it was 1978... and I was only 12 years old, so I can hardly be held fully accountable for my haircut or style of clothing... :lmao:

Here are some more random shots from the years that followed:

This was on the raft to Tom Sawyers Island in 1980. Dig the fully coordinated dark green shorts and top. I was 14. Was I still doing Garanimals???

On the riverboat in 1982.

My sister & I at Disney MGM Studios in 1993. She has more to be embarrassed about than I do with the "hanging on to the eighties" hair.

What a great thread! If I could figure out how to post old pictures (film pictures) I could post a couple.
 

I don't even know you guys but looking at these then and now photos has me feeling so emotional, like looking at my own kids and thinking, Wow, how you've grown!!!!:goodvibes
Let's see some more!
 
Looks like we have had this thread going for nearly 2 years!! Keep the great pics coming. This is my daughter in July 1982 at a character breakfast and singing in the UK Pavilion @ EPCOT December 2006.

I have a picture of my brother and I with this same Mickey - three tips worth of childhood trip pictures from WDW are in a shoebox under my Mom's bed, and we could never remember which park that was...Was that in Epcot??? That is what we have always assumed...

By the way - I learned my lesson from this, and I keep all my WDW pictures in dated scrapbooks with detailed journaling!!!:thumbsup2
 
I apologize in advance for the quality of some of these pics.

I'm on the left and my sis is on the right - this is behind the Contemporary in 1992:

What on Earth was Mickey thinking?? :eek: Even poor Mickey didn't escape the 80's without a fashion disater! :rotfl2:
 
Ok here I am on my first trip....I was 2 years old... It was in 1985...
See...it's my parents' fault if I love Mickey so much. Hopefully I can marry a man who tolerates it hehe

Yes, he was from EPCOT, when it was EPCOT Center. I was too young to have been there, but I do recognize the outfit from collectibles. It had to have been from the first few years of the park being open...1982 or 1983 I would think. These are all awesome pictures, let me see if I can figure out how to post one!
