Hello everyone I have been lurking and enjoying WDW Magic forum for sometime I have found the insight and advice here to be the best around thanks .
As you see our last visit was in summer 1993 on our Honeymoon. I was already a fan and had visited WDW several times before 1981,1983 for quite long periods as I had family in Florida . My bride also fell in love with WDW (odd as shes not prone to being sentimental ) so why no visit since, well we have been to Paris Disney a few times (just not the same) when the children were very young this made us certain that we should leave a visit to WDW until they were older as it is important to us both that they see and feel about WDW the way we do .
So the boys are now 12 and 9 they are now both tall enough to ride and hopefully see it the way we do . I was 18 on my first visit and still loved every moment not sure if an 18 year old of today would ? So what should we expect to have changed its clear rides have closed and been replaced etc but is the MAGIC the same as the 80,s and 90,s sure it may be new Magic but will we feel the same as we did or is the WDW of the 21st century lacking what it once had ?
I'm asking because after reading a lot of posts there is a hint of pessimism running though the forum I choose to interpret them as people who love WDW very much but are just focusing too much on the detail . On my first visit in 1981 there were large groups from south america, chipped worn paint, people cut inline, rides broke down ,it rained a lot ,waits in line were very long and hot , the food was poor etc but I loved every moment and did not see any of this at the time as I was just happy to be in the USA and in WDW
Well we have our ADR's for California grill, Narcoossees , and the Flying fish not been to any of them Hope we made the right choice , just the fast pass reservations to do soon and we will try to get lunch reservations at BMG wish us luck . Staying in the Contemporary Resort end of April for the 3rd time, this time in the bay view tower would have been happy with garden wing to be honest .
Any tips for us would be great thanks .
(We got a great deal, free DDP and Park tickets package very pleased )
