Hopefully this thread will result in stories of past visits. I have visited WDW 5 times in my life, the first being in 1996. I was 10 years old at the time and I have many vivid memories. Many rides and attractions have obviously been removed or closed in the last 20 years, but during trips to WDW (my last being in June of 2015) I enjoy all the current attractions. But every time I turn my head I recognize and remember something from my past visits, whether they are sights, smells, sounds, or even landscaping I find myself overwhelmed by memories. I love walking towards Epcot and seeing Spaceship Earth loom overhead, the feeling of the cool shade as you walk into it's shadow brings me back to my 10 year old self. Watching the firework shows that have remained mostly unchanged almost chokes me up. I walk by the Buzz Lightyear ride and remember "If you had wings" It truly shows that a guests personal Disney experience ages like wine.
