When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
Re: When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
First trip was when I was in high school marching band in February 1982. We marched in a parade in the Magic Kingdom. It was a great experience. I still have the ticket.

My first visit was back in 1994. My parents and I took a bus trip from central NY to WDW. I was in my 30s. It felt so magical, even as an adult.

My first WDW trip was in 2005! I don’t remember too much because I was only 3 at the time but I do remember getting a Nemo stuffed animal I loved my Nemo stuffed animal SO much! It was in my arms in all of the pics from the trip

Re: When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
1St trip was in 1975, after HS Graduation, with the family, It was hot and humid. Only Magic Kingdom was there, we stayed at the contemporary in the south garden wing. We had reservations at the top of the world, for dinner and performance, saw Donald O'Connor and Rosemary Clooney (George Clooney's Aunt), had almost at stage seats. It was quite a vacation, we were only there for 3 or 4 days, reservations through Disney directly. Flew from National Airport (Reagan International now). My Dad said it would only be about a 2 hour drive to the airport. He didn't allow for DC traffic, we almost missed the plane. MCO was under major construction, no Jetway to get off plane, down the roll-away steps onto a charter bus to the terminal building. Quite an adventure.

Re: When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
My first trip was back in late November/December 2008 with my Auntie, Cousin and late Uncle - it was an amazing experience, we stayed out towards Kissimmee and traveled into the parks. Next trip is scheduled for May/June this year, fingers crossed
See Ya Real Soon!

Re: When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
Donald O'Conner & Rosemary Clooney? That must of been a great show. Too bad Disney doesn't do shows like that regularly anymore. At least we get to see some of those celebs during the Candlelight Processional.russell calhoun wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 3:55 pm 1St trip was in 1975, after HS Graduation, with the family, It was hot and humid.

1972. I was six years old. I still remember parts of the trip. My first trip to a Disney park was when I was 3 and my family went to Disneyland!

Re: When did you first visit Walt Disney World?
October 2005, I was 6 and my sister was 10, she had a Make a Wish trip, which is the only reason we were able to go at the time. We were flown down and we got to stay at the Contemporary, which as a little transportation nerd at the age of 6 I immediately fell in love with the monorail going through the hotel and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. My mom will never let me forget how much I cried when we left (she got the incriminating pictures), but luckily, after we all fell in love with the parks we were able to save up and go every few years after that

1992. Went with my family the week after Thanksgiving. No one in the park and got to watch the Christmas parade. It was wonderful and the weather was perfect!
