Our first trip was in July of 1994! It was hotter than hades, they had run out of strollers to rent and it was crowded! I don't think it's ever been that crowded since!

Our second trip was September 1995 and it was much more tolerable in terms of heat and crowds.

First trip was either 1975 or 1976. The only thing I remember from that trip was my Mickey hat flying of and getting eaten at the Gator place.

Second trip was a class trip in 1987.

Third was Thanksgiving 1988 with my father. First and last vacation my father and I had after my parents divorced. (He hates crowds.)

Fourth was 1991 for my graduation trip. My best friend and I went. Still can't believe that our parents let two 17 year old girls head off to Florida on their own. Luckily we knew enough to stay safe and stay out of trouble.

Sept. 2001 was the first vacation for me and my husband and we were celebrating our 10th anniversary. We bought APs that trip and went back 3 more times before they expired.

Now if October will hurry up and get here for another trip!!!!

First trip was Christmas 1973 with my family. We stayed at the Poly. It was our last family vacation before my oldest brother graduated HS and went off to college. That was when you needed tickets for each ride. I remember loving 20,000 leagues under the sea and the haunted mansion. The next trip was in 1985 after my mom moved to Lake Co.

My first trip was in 1989...I was only 2 years old, so I don't remember any of it.

 

[Princess Michelle]

First trip was September of 1991 and second trip was September of 1992.

I think there has only been one, maybe two years since then that I haven't gone at all but I got an annual pass in December and have been making up for lost time!

My oft told story is here. I went to WDW/Swan for a business convention in spring of '98. I made a half day visit to MGM plus a business-sponsored dinner at Morocco in Epcot. That was all I saw of it then. We went as a family in Dec of '99, to celebrate Lady M's remission from breast cancer.

Nobody has wanted to go back since, except me, LOL, though everyone had a wonderful time. I have been back twice in '00, 4 times in '01, plus 2 to DL in '01, twice in '02, and once in '03 with one more to go in Dec later this year. I guess I got bit by the Mouse, I love it more each time I go and enjoy the magic most of us feel when there.

Nice thread, Danny.

I wonder why that is?

I know for me, that every time I go I get more out of it than the last time I was there!

It was 1982 and I was five years old... I remember taking the monorail over to Epcot to see it incomplete and to see a movie about it or the like. We stayed at the camp grounds and I loved that trip. Pretty much no crowds what so ever... even our pics showed pretty much no one there. Went back one year later and been going off and on since

Best friend and myself flew to Orlando in March of 1979 and spent a week in Florida. WDW was great. Not hot, not crowded just GREAT. Next trip was a solo trip in May of 1981. I had a GREAT time then too.

I saw this AFTER I posted my First WDW trip picture!

Mine was in 1972, we stayed at the Contemporary...I was 3 months old so couldn't tell ya anymore than that.

[supercarrie]

My first trip was April 2001, which was supposed to be our "dream trip." Several things went wrong, so after 9/11 when the airfares dropped we booked our Jan. 2002 trip. Then, my mom wanted another trip to go to the water parks...so the July 2003 trip came. I don't know when our next trip will be, though.
