Don't remember it, I was 18 months old. My parents got me going at a young age, and I've never stopped!

December 1995, This was a Christmas present from my mom. We were down there 2 days after Christmas and we were able to swim on New Years Eve.

I remember it was a blast but I didn't really get hooked till I was an adult and took my son down there for his second trip(his first trip he was only 1 yr old and it was a one day trip and he got pink eye!!!). Since then I have been crazy about Disney!!

April 1983, for Easter Break. Went to visit a new niece that had just been born in Lake Wales, FL. Then headed to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT for one day a piece. That first trip got me hooked at the ripe old age of 7.

My first trip was in fall of 1990 when I was 3. I don't remember a single thing about it other than what I can see in the pictures we have of it, but I'm sure that it was that trip that started my love affair with Disney--I've been a total of 11 times & hopefully will be going again later this year!

November 1996 - my honeymoon.
What I remember:

First day, we walk in at about 2:30, walk into Exposition Hall to get buttons (they were giving these out to all guest with the date of first visit on them). Then we checked out a small model of Animal Kingdom.

When we walked out, the 3:00 parade was going on and we walked up to a parade spot! (those were the days.

)

The castle was a huge Pink birthday cake (25th anniversary). I thought it was odd... really did not know that it was not always that way.

It was fantastic! I had never been anywhere like it before. To me, it was amazing how much the used your senses to make a 'ride' fun!

March, 1972. Was on Spring Break from college and went with my future ex-husband (fiance at the time) and his sister. Drove up from Miami, spent the rest of the day there and fell in love. Have been going back at least once a year since. Taking my grandkids in October. So many changes, not always for the better, however, it is still my truly happy place.
