My First and Only Trip to WDW:
August 1986---I was 13 years old. My family and another family vacationed together every year from the time I was 6 through high school. We stayed at Ft. Wilderness in a "cabin"--I hate camping, but a single wide mobile home with maid service is MY kind of camping!! Most of my memories are from the pictures in my scrapbook, but I do remember other things.
MK: Watching the night parade, riding tea cups, Dumbo, Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, COP, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Jungle Cruise, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, driving the cars (can't remember the name right now!), riding the river boat. We ate in Frontierland and I believe it had to be Pecos Bill's but I have no proof of that. It was the only meal we ate in the World. We ate everything else at the campground. It rained at least one afternoon. We went to MK two days, probably 1/2 day each day.
EPCOT: The fountains that shot out water, "The Ball", watching the 360 movie in Canada, my sister leaving her purse in "France" and we had to retrieve it, buying an EPCOT mug with my souveneir money (I'm sure that cup is somewhere at my parent's house!), watching some movie with talking veggies in it, riding a boat and seeing a banana tree. Riding the Monorail.
Ft. Wilderness: Riding the bus and boats. Standing behind my parents while they bought tickets. I suppose it was at TTC, but I don't remember. Buying a sweatshirt with Musket Mickey on it (also probably at my parent's house somewhere!), buying postcards, thinking it would be neat to see the Hoop-De-Doo Revue. Sleeping in the bunkbeds with my friend.
My DH has never been and DD will be 5 for our first family trip, June 2010. I've already been planning for over a year and my notebook is already a handy reference! I don't think DH will want to go again (hoping he'll be sprinkled with Pixie Dust!), so I'm trying to cram in all I can without wearing us out. He wants to stay at Contemporary and do waterparks, I want to do all the Character Meals we can (DDP), and DD wants to do BBB. Otherwise, I hope to be able to relax and soak up the magic! We'll have 6 nights/7 days to get everything in.
