I was a married with children adult. I am just glad my children experienced it while young.

My first (of over 50) visit was in November 1971, less than a month after the park opened. Click HERE to see me in 1971, and in the exact same spot 33 years later (minus the bad hair and shoes)

Back in 1971 when I was knee high to a grasshopper. Back then, WDW was the MK. lol Maggie

I was 6 (I got to leave kindegarten a day early that year for my first trip it was so exciting!)

So that would be 1987. I remember it like it was yesterday....

My honeymoon...July 1978.

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Summer of 1979. I was 11. I remember they still had the tickets. I must have ridden Space Mountain 10 times. That's my strongest memory of that trip. Then after years of planning and dreaming, I finally went back with my dh and two boys when they were 6 and 7 in May of 2002. It was the most magical time. We have been back two more times and are a few weeks away from our next magical journey.

October 2003, I was 31. It was also a first for DH, DS2 and DS4 at the time. Hubby and I went in January 2004 by ourselves and going as a family again in April 2005.

1st time I went to WDW was in November 2001 {over Thanksgiving}. I wanted to wait until my son would be old enough to remember it {he was 5 1/2...wouldn't have mattered anyway...my cousin taped the entire vacation and gave it to us as a Christmas gift}. 2nd time was Nov 03. Went to Disneyland when I was 4 {we lived in CA at the time but I don't remember much}.

Was amazed at the technology. REALLY fell in love after not being there for a few months and started to get withdrawal so I made a spur of the moment decision and decided to spend my next birthday at Disney in Jan 05. Possibly again when I graduate from college {hopefully late next year}, then again in Dec 05. Thinking of going for my 30th b-day as well!

It's funny when people ask you why you don't go anywhere else. Why would we? Why on Spaceship Earth would we WANT to go anywhere else?
