Well it was pretty darn unique when it was first installed in Disney land and WDW. Of course we all know the Las Vegas TA bought and used our old trains until they could have new ones made for their system.

Actually ... while looking that the history of monorail trains... it looks like Walt's ideas about monorails really was the first full production system put into operation and has the longest and most successful reliability record. Still in operation today... and can transport 200,000+ passengers a day.

Now when I go I am so excited months before hand. Then for a week after I get back I am still so excited. After that for a few months I am actually sick of Disney. Not sure why but it happens then all of a sudden I want to go back again. Its like I just miss home.

I have started a similar thread before that essentially asked why I am now in this phase of going every year. 2005, 2006, now in Dec of 2007. I loved Disney parks before having kids, and now my kids love going. I have been asked numerous times why I don't go to other places but the truth is once I anticipate landing in Orlando and getting on the bus and watching that cheesy movie about the parks and I feel like I am home.

People wonder why I bother bringing my daughter who was 6 months, then 1 1/2 yrs, next time 2 3/4 years when she does not or will not remember any of this, but her joy is amazing to see and her love of the characters lights up the whole line of people waiting to see Mickey and Donald. Maybe they should hire her as a cast member.

I honestly cannot remember a time that I have been bored or at all wanted to leave the parks.

Peace.

I always tell those people they will understand when they get old enough to enjoy it. It is always the twenty-somthings that have those mistaken impressions. They either remember only the kid stuff from when they were kids at WDW or are looking for some wild times like kids think they have at six flags, not a true full time experience that Disney provides.

What makes you want to "conver" so called non believers?

WDW is not a religion. It is a place people can choose to go on their holidays.

Some people love doing that whilst others prefer exploring Nepal.

no need to convert...it would be like trying to make a republican a democrat...not likely to happen. plus, it's just less people in line:lol:.

There is some very unique history there to learn as well. For instance, WDW was the first place in the US to use the emergency system of 911, and I'm sure that there have been a number of other things that were started there that are now used in other places as well. For those who didn't know guess what? YOU JUST LEARNED SOMETHING!!!:eek: :eek:

You sound just like us. You know.. as far as the kids age being too young goes, I think it's a totally invalid excuse (albeit popular one). I don't remember the trips from when I was 6, 7 and 8 yrs old. I remember a few bits & pieces like my sister getting sick from Thunder Mountain. I remember the old school Mickey bars (which I found they have in a much smaller size at WalMart BTW). Other than that, I don't remember much from those trips now at the age of 29. Mgraef and everyone else, I think it's awesome you're taking your kids regardless of age. Just because they may not remember it, doesn't mean you won't get some spectacular pics and stories to tell them/show them when they're older. We plan on going regardless of how young our kids are.

Never get tired of WDW!

On countdown for WDW.....5 days!!! I am so excited to be celebrating my 50th birthday in the magic land. This will be 9th visit and I haven't been then since running the 2003 Disney Marathon, so I am ready!

It's hard to explain the feeling, but love WDW. It's a total break from the stress of day-to-day life and routine. Cast members treat you so well.
The characters....the Castle.....the resorts.....yes I can't wait!

The second time we went to WDW, our oldest was 3 months old. People were looking at us like, why did you bring that baby here. Having a child does not mean you need to stop living and having fun. We totally used the Disney facilities to accomodate having the baby with us. The baby care centers are great. We would take long lunches in Comsic Ray's while the baby slept. during this time, we did what most folks like to do while at Disney, people watch.

It's funny when people want to wait to bring there kids until they reach an age of remembering. Let's face it, economically speaking, it's nice to take the kiddies before the age of 3, when it's free. Most people underestimate what kids can remember. Take pictures and videos, watch them forever and create memories.

Just some more reasons to add to the list!

I could go every single year, I dont think ill get tired of WDW, i've been there in 91, 93, 99, 01, 04, 05, and 06, and ive always found new stuff to enjoy, and im always excited to go. I had a good time when I went in 1993, I was really young then, but we stayed in the Poly, and I still remember all the classic Epcot attractions from then, especially the old journey to imagination and horizons.

Tired of WDW? Well let me tell you a bit about me...(Sorry, you may want to take a bathroom break before proceeding.)
I first came to WDW in the early 70's - actually it was only MK and not sure of the year, but remember seeing a sign that said "future home of Space Mountain", if that helps. This trip was only a one dayer as we were staying in another place in Florida.
I had planned on always going back, but money, family, life in general alwys got in the way. Well as our kids grew up, we decided to go and in March '99 took our kids for a 10 dayer, staying at the Poly. What a great time we had and I was very depressed the day we left and we made plans to come back in another few years.
In March 2003, we came back, but it was one of the worst trips we've had. This was post-9/11, and WDW had cut back alot - and I mean ALOT. I remember the parks being closed at 7:00, the water parks were still closed, short staff left customer service to be a major problem. In fact, I remember following a group of house maids into the GCH and hearing them complain about how they were being treated by managment. One time, my wife ordered a drink at the bar and when the waitress gave us the wrong drink (and after telling her it was the wrong drink) she got angry and slammed the drink in the garbage can. Because of the parks being closed early we spent several nights in our room watching TV and playing board games because there was nothing else to do.
That year my love for WDW turned a complete 180 and when we complained, all we basically got was a "sorry" and a sales pitch - "tell you what we'll do, you come back next year and we'll take 10% off your room".
We then started going to other places, and while enjoyable, it wasn't "Disney".
Well, here we are in '07, and because of a promise I made to our kids (we'd to to WDW one more time before they graduated from high school), we're making plans for March.
I don't know why, but I'm back to pre-'99 anticipation. I'm excited about going and feel our last trip is behind us.
WDW is special, but I don't know why - it's gotta be that "magic".:rolleyes:

If I may ask, I make a decent living and I can't afford to go more than once a year (though we do stay in the deluxe resort , do the dining plan, etc).

How do you all swing 2-5 trips a year there?

I've not been since September 2004. But between September 2003 and 2004 I went three times for two weeks each visit- bought a year pass, so did not have to pay to get in the parks on visits two and three. Stayed off-site on late deal offers from the UK. I payed the same for two weeks bed and roof as people staying deluxe on-site did for two nights.

We have taken our sone when he was 11 months, 1 year 11 months and last year at 2 years 11 months (He has a Sept. 1st Brithday) Anyway a commercial for WDW just came on the tv and he looked at me and said look mommy, Dumbo, we rode that last summer. I would like to go back. I haven't told him yet that we will be going back in August :sohappy: . Kids remember alot more than we all think they do (or sometimes more than we want them too :p )
