What was it like....

Yes welcome Mini-V!!!!!!!!!

:bump: bumping this one back up since we have a lot of new members!!! I love this thread!!! :yes:

I grew up going to DL and spent 2 summers when I was a tween at Disney World because my dad was writing a game show produced by disney. But I voted for Epcot because all my very happiest memories are there. I worked in The Land pavillion as an advanced intern and I'll never forget the first time I got to walk in as a CM. It was one of my greatest dreams and it was coming true. I almost started to cry but I didn't want to be that nerdy in front of all the other new interns. Then I saw another girl tear up and I knew I'd found a friend. I actually wound up making the best friends I've ever had there and spent 6 wonderful months enjoying the magic of Disney with them. Awww man I'm getting all teary now just thinking about it. Geez louise!!

:chat: :studios:

I was 4 years old, in 1976, when I went the first time. I remember the patriotic parade, many attractions that are no longer around, and being exhausted on the way home... but too excited to sleep

Bump

With living over the pond, I have only been three times.

I remember the build up to my first visit - looking at magazines, picture and watching holiday programs on tv etc...

And then it was all real.... I was there on a monorail going towards Epcot and I saw SSE with '2000' over it for my own eyes!! I knew at this point that I was at WDW.

I also remember the next day going to MK and walking up Main Street and seeing Cinders Castle at the end - stuff pictures are made of!!!!

Everytime I'm on the tram on the way into the park, I just can't believe I'm actually here. I'd count down the weeks,days,hours, until I'd enter those Disney gates, *goosebumps* Its just an amazing feeling you can never replace.:mickeykid

But I'd have to say my top 2 memories are riding splash mountain for the very first time, and always bugging my mom for an ice cream bar that looks like this :mbar: (actually I still do that... haha)

:pixiedust :pixiedust :pixiedust :pixiedust :pixiedust :pixiedust :pixiedust Magic Kingdom, because I just remember staring and taking pictures at the castle, seeing all my favorite characters, watching the parades, and the fireworks show at the end.

Everytime I go to Disney I don't really feel I've arrived until I stand on Main Street and look up at the castle. I also like to go there just before I leave, to sort of say goodbye. And I always make a wish that I will come back someday.

Its always worked so far!
