Since 1971, I was 6 and we went into the MK the day we arrived and I heard someone say that the park was closing soon. I thought we were going to be trapped in the park so I remember that I cried because I didn't want to be trapped there. I laugh now because being"trapped" in the MK sounds like a dream come true! I have basically been there every year since( some years not at all ,others two or three times)I just went with my twin grandsons,amazing!

My first trip was for New Years in 2000, and I went two more times shortly after that. I didn't go again until 2013, and I've gone every year since. I don't remember a ton of my first trip, but I'm know I saw Body Wars and Cranium Command, and the fact I either missed Horizons or completely forgot riding it consistently makes me sad.

My father took us there on a family vacation the year it opened, I believe we went in December or January.
Probably some time during Christmas vacation.
We went to Disneyland in California about two years later.
After that, I took a visit there with friends in around '84.
Went with a girlfriend around '91 perhaps.
Back with a different girlfriend and my future wife in perhaps '93 when a friend of mine got married there.
Since having children, our family has vacationed there 7 times I believe.
Boardwalk.
Caribbean Beach.
Beach Club four times.
Animal Kingdom.

1985, I was 3 and have been going ever since. I stopped counting my trips when I became a CM.
In my family my nephew holds first place. He was just shy of 1 month old. He's now 10 but I can't recall how many times he's been. Well over 10 though.

Hi just got back after enjoying a wonderful three weeks in Orlando and it got me thinking, how long have many on here been going to Disney World? Being in my late 40's, I've been going regularly from the UK for 41 years now.

Seen lots of changes, some for the better and some for the worse but still love visiting the place. As I sat on several rides this year, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, TTA, Space Mountain and Small World to name a few it was remarkable thinking I'd ridden them hundreds of times and yet they still hold so much magic after so many years just as they did 41 years ago :eek:

So don't be embarrassed by your age ladies and gents, but tell us how long you've been going?


First time: 1993 (Honeymoon & 1st time on a plane) Caribbean Beach
2005 (with our 2 kids) ASM
2007 POP
2010 POP
2012 POP (w/ total group of 10 inc. 81 y.o. dad for the 1st time)
2013 AOA (our NEW favorite resort)
2016 AOA
2019/20 (hopefully) after all the HWS/AK additions (unless we hit the lottery!!)
and YES, I would love to have my ashes sprinkled on property!!

My childhood was full of Disney. I'm from the U.K. and have been every year since I was around 3, so about 16 years. I couldn't imagine my childhood being spent anywhere other than Disney! :happy:
