First Trip
My family couldn't afford to go from Philadelphia to Orlando when I was a kid.
I allways loved the whole idea of Disney world, but to a kid from my neighborhood, only rich people went there.
My first trip was in 1999 with my wife and 2 girls. We could have gone before that, but we just didn't think of it! Besides, the kids were too young.
We drove there that time and stayed off site (the first and last for both).We only spent one day at MK that week but that was it for me. I felt as if I had been there before and I instantly knew this was only the beginning. My wife doesn't understand how I can feel as if I have this past with a place I have never been, but I can't explain it. When I see pictures posted from the 70's (I was a kid then) on some Disney site, they just seem familiar somehow?
We have been back every year since then, on-site, with unlimited parkhopper passes! If I have my way we will continue this untill it is physically impossible to do so!!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
