My first trip to WDW was in the early 70's (72? 73?) My grandmother and grandfather took all of the grandchildren. I was in 1st or 2nd grade and very excited. A few of my classmates had been, but I hadn't. It was also my first airplane ride (from Newark airport!).
When I go to Magic Kingdom now (and sometimes I still slip up and call it Disneyworld - because they used to be one and the same!) I can remember being there when I was little.
I remember my sister buying a necklace with Winnie the Pooh hanging off of a balloon.
I remember eating cafeteria-style at the Crystal Palace.
I remember LOVING the Haunted Mansion (although I can't convince my kids to enjoy it!).
I remember the sky tram from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland. Every time I go to Fantasyland and see that "stroller parking" area I think of that.
I remember fretting over how quickly my E-ride tickets were disappearing.
I remember going to a Luau at the Polynesian and feeling very grown up being out so late.
I remember going to the Hall of Presidents and someone "boo-ing" President Nixon (!).
Thank you for starting this thread. It is so fun to look back on that time. My husband's first trip to WDW was in 1989 for our wedding, so he doesn't really understand...
