Keep them coming!!!! This is the best thread EVER!!!1 :bounce:

I can't wait to dig through my mom's old photos from 1980. :lmao:
 
My dad took a picture of my sister and I in front of the fountain in Italy in Epcot on I think 2 of our family trips. Then when my mom, sister, and I went without him he insisted my mom take our photo in front of the fountain again. I'll have to see if I can find them & post them here. This is a really fun thread, I love seeing the old pics!
 

Okay, I'm going to try this picture thing out.

First, here I am at Epcot in 1985. There can be no doubt about the year, just look at the hair! :lmao:

There are older pictures than this of me, but I'd have to raid my mom's photo albums. I was 19 in this picture and just starting out on my own, so this is the oldest one in "my" collection.

Next is a visit in April, 2000...

102629UsWithMickey2000-med.jpg


This is technically my older DS's first visit. Even in the womb, it still counts, right? :confused3

Next is our trip in December, 2004

DS is 3 in this picture and... LOOK... this is technically our younger DS's first visit! Yes, I've been to WDW twice while pregnant. :rolleyes:

Last is our most recent trip in January, 2006

Hi, I LOVE this thread!!!

I started this tradition for my grandson in 2002. Using one of the totem poles on the bridge leading to Adventureland as a growth chart, each year I have taken DGS' picture to see how he has grown. Hopefully, we can continue the tradition. I don't have a trip planned for this year yet, but have an AP burning a hole in my pocket and we wouldn't want to break the tradition now would we? ;)

DGS 2002 Dec - cold in FL that year

DGS 2003 Dec - this is the year we spent the entire day #1 in the ER at Celebration, so he is not in top form.

DGS 2004 Dec Land/Sea Adventure

DGS 2005 Dec See what happened? Yep, the thing I feared most finally came true and I didn't notice it until now, but silly me took this photo in front of the WRONG TOTEM POLE! :guilty: Well, now we HAVE to go back. :teeth:

OK, I'm giving in and contributing. Please hold back your laughter. I really need to update the second photo since it's now more than 7 years old.

I'm sorry, :rotfl2: but I'm still laughing.. in a good way though! The old photo is a classic! Thanks for sharing! :lmao:

This is my son in 1983. He is dancing with daughter #1. She hasn't been back to Disney since, but I take her son, my grandson, to WDW.

In the photo below, here is my son in 1997, 14 years later, with daughter #2. He is still wearing a red, white, and black numbered shirt, but he wouldn't dance this time. In fact, he was forced to be in this picture because, "you have to be in this picture because this is where you stood when you were little, so get in there!" said me. He hasn't been back to Disney since. I did hear him tell my youngest daughter, "Enjoy this now, you might not come back for another 14 years."

And in the photo below, here is my grandson, in 2005. "But grandma, why do I have to dance here?" "Because your mama danced here when she was little, so get in there!" Oddly, he keeps coming back to WDW with me. Heehee.
