The week before July 4th, 1999 was our first time at WDW as a family. We were heading towards the ToT, when we saw a CM standing where the RnR gateway is now. We spoke to her, and she waved us in to the new "ride". It wasn't on the map, and we knew nothing about it. Back then, I didn't go on the "world wide web" to read about stuff first.
There was not many guest back there at all, so we walked right in. I was blown away by the recording studio alone. Today, I swear that Disney actually had a real guy go into the studio to get the infamous Black Les Paul that Perry ask for.
So when we get in the alley, we go straight up to the Limo, cause there isn't anyone in front of us waiting at "load". SO we get in the first limo, having no idea about what is about to happen! I hadn't even heard of this type of launch technology. Yeah, we were in for a surprise. It was AWESOME!
Bought the poster. Will never forget it. A special Disney moment for our family. I always try to find the "newbies" in line now, just to see their reactions.
Thank you RnR for 10 years of thrills.
