My favorite childhood memory was when we won an all-expenses paid trip to WDW off a 2-liter bottle of Coke. Yup, that's right. People actually win those things!!! We stayed at the Contemporary and we were given food vouchers for all of our meals. Our first night there, we ate at Narcoossee's. I remember my parents asking our server what we could order with the vouchers. He said we could order as much as we wanted until we had to be rolled out of the restaurant!! I remember eating the biggest shrimp I've ever seen as my appetizer and the bill was over $300 for my family of 5 (little sis was only 3 yrs old).

A not so fond memory of that trip also happened the first night. My little sister rolled out of bed and hit her head on the corner of the nightstand. My parents had to take her to the hospital and she got 5 stitches above her right eye. My older sister and I cried ourselves to sleep while my parents were gone. We felt SO bad! But, the characters were so sweet to her all week. They would point to her "boo boo" and shrug their shoulders (asking what happened). When my parents would explain it, the hugs and kisses began and she ate it up!

WOW!! How cool that you actually won one of those contests! I often wonder if anyone wins. I'm happy to hear that you did, how cool is that!!!

Oh, your poor sister. It's not fun when things like that happen but especially when you are at Disney. I'm glad everything worked out though.

Unfortunately, I think Country Bear Christmas is just a memory.

Sorry, but I disagree with you.

favorite childhood memory is a really hard one for me! I only went on 1 trip as a kid so that narrows it down. But I'm not sure what my favorite memory of that trip is. I'll have to think about it and get back to you!

I have a lot of childhood memories from Disney, but one of my favorites should come as no surprise. I was a girly girl, and the very first time my parents took me to Disney, they bought me a beautiful Alice in Wonderland (costume) dress as a souvie. I remember that dress so distinctly. I wore it on the trip and when we got home, and since I had long hair and bangs, and my mom always put ribbons in my hair, she was able to style my hair just like Alice, even if I was a brunette instead of blonde.

WOOT WOOT!! We're in the TEENS Dancing!!

My favorite childhood memory at Disney, was when my dad took me for my 10th birthday. We went to EPCOT for the day and it was a bit rainy that day, so we had the whole park to ourselves, and I mean to ourselves LOL!! I remember they had a bus full of characters that stopped and all got off to dance and meet me!! It was a great moment, me with 20 characters all to myself LOL!

WOW Meghan! I can't believe your family won a trip to WDW! That is so cool! And your poor lil sis!!!!!

[MeMom]

Yay for the teens!

I went to Walt Disney World in 1971 as a teenager. We skipped school to go.
We had the ticket books. It was the coolest place ever!

We may be doing Hoop De Doo next summer.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Teen Dancing! Woo-hoo!



Hmmmm, I don't have a favorite childhood memory because I simply don't remember my trip as a young teen (other than my mom let us sleep in the morning we were supposed to go watch the Space Shuttle launch and I was soooooo mad!!) so I'll go with door #2 and pick a favorite memory from our first family trip.

The first ADR we had was an early dinner at Crystal Palace on our first day in WDW and our first day in MK. Pooh Bear stole Demetri's bunny and giggled when Ariana snuggled him, Tigger bounced with Alex and gave Demetri a high five and Piglet was my new best buddy because I was wearing a pink striped shirt.

My favorite memory was when we took Megan, Keeley and Baylor for the first time and the Tweedles gave the girls flowers that they had picked by the teacups. All the while Baylor was hiding behind a trashcan because he was afraid of them.

Teen dancing!!
Enjoy your weekend!!!

:dance:dance:

I love teen dancing!!!

My favorite childhood memory was from the trip I took when I was 8. We were at MK for a day. I remember being in the Haunted Mansion and we had 3 in our Doom Buggy. In the scene where the ghost hitches a ride with you, he ended up sitting on my brother's lap. We all thought it was the funniest thing ever!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I love all your pictures for teen dancing!

My first trip was my Disneymoon so...I think my favorite memory from that trip was being in the Jamin' Jungle Parade at AK. We happened to be in the right spot at the right time and were selected to ride on Rafiki's float! We had so much fun!

 

[kschafer]

Hooray for Teens!!!!
​

Favorite childhood memory? Most of my memories involve being there with my grandparents (who are all gone now) so those are special times. If I had to pick 1 specific memory, I'd have to go with my grandpa taking me on BTMRR, my first rollercoaster ride ever! He hadn't been feeling great for part of the day and my Mom tried telling him he didn't have to take me but he had promised and he took me anyway

Hurray for the teens!!! Seeing that you are leaving on September 18 makes me realize that I better start getting my act together for Connor's birthday on the 19th. I guess I was thinking it was much farther away than it really is!

Love the childhood memories! I remember you talking about that horrible trip when you had the chicken pox. Weren't you staying at Fort Wilderness?

My favorite memory was on our trip in 1987. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort, and it was my brother's first trip to WDW (he would have been about ten months old). Anyway, one night my mom stayed at the resort with my brother, and my dad and I took the monorail over to the MK for the evening. I remember riding 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and eating root beer floats with him in Fantasyland. It was so much fun!

I'm really having a hard time picking one favorite childhood memory, so I'm going to cheat a little and say eating at Cinderella Castle which was a tradition for us for about 6 years while I was a kid. Getting to eat at the restauraunt (which was "King Stephan's Banquet Ball" at the time and not "Cinderella's Royal Table") and meeting Cinderella there was always a highlight of the trip. I think that I still have some old reservation cards and maybe some old kid's menus somewhere.
