Any one else have a birth connection with WDW

[Fantasmic]

On reading that site, I share a birthday with the original Broadway Lumiere (only he is older) and The Little Mermaid opened on my birthday (in 2007) at Denver's Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

Cooool


Oh and it's also "Walt Disney Day" in Missouri!

(August 23rd for those interested)

I was born August 8th, 1982. So I am actually a little older than Epcot.

Also Bambi made it's world premiere in London.

Disneyland's Haunted Mansion was still only open to cast members at that point. It opened to the public the next day.

Born in July of 1989... mere weeks after Disney-MGM opened!

I was born July 14, 1989 so ditto with me!

I've always felt a "birth connection" with WDW just by being born the same year it opened. My first trip there was when I was 3 and we went often while I was growing up, I went to college about an hour from there, so I visited often (bought a 4 day pass each year), then continued to visit after I was married and started a family. I even got my DH hooked - who had never been until I took him on our 1 year anniversary. DD has been more times than DH and is certainly a DIT - Disneyholic-in-training.

It's funny, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't even remember my first trip there. It's always been there, a part of me - kind of like "home".

:lol: I thought so too.

Ok so my birthday is March 5, which was the date after Zachary Taylor was sworn in as president and he is featured at WDW's Hall of Presidents.

Yeah, I stretched that.

JII opened that day.

Disney.com was launched on my twenty-somethingth birthday.


Also, to eddiemcgarrigle and 2020_C.E.O. --- just curious --- how does a woman discover she is pregnant in the middle of EPCOT or MGM? Did she bring a test with her and tee-tee on a stick? Did the doctor's office call on the cell phone? I don't mean to pry, but I'm dying to know.

29 years after I was born, Disneyland and WDW close the gates for the 2nd time in history......I was born on September 11th.

I was conceived on my parents' honeymoon to WDW in 1974, and my own son was conceived on my own honeymoon in WDW in 2000. :lookaroun

 

[DisneyLeo18]

I was born in 1988 (8/18/88) the same year the Grand Floridian opened.

I also love to spend as many birthdays in the world as possible (only 6 so far)
