Okay, a more serious topic... maybe we can get some people to stop lurking and post!
Explain, in as many sentences as you care to use, why Disney is so important, or what Disney means, to you.
For me, Disney World is all about memories – old ones and making new ones. My first trip was with my family back in 1978 – middle of summer. It was our first ‘real’ vacation and right after high school for me. I even remember driving with my mother to the
travel agency to pick up the airline tickets (Eastern Airlines) and the hotel itinerary. Only the Magic Kingdom was open at the time so we spent two days in the park and several days at other parks, Sea World, Cypress Gardens, Busch Gardens and Alligator World are the places I remember. A really wonderful time with the family. Always good memories, even if things didn’t go along as planned.
My next trip to DW wasn’t until 1994 with a friend. I had moved to California and we had gone to
Disneyland a few years before and decided to go to DW. Then went back with family again in 1996. For me, it was about spending time with my family. We really enjoyed being together and all get along well. I just remember everyone’s joy at being together at DW.
My friend and I would go to DW every 2-3 years. Sometimes wished we had children to take with us so, in later years, we would ‘steal’ my brother’s kids and take them to DW. Now have husband
and ‘dragging’ him to DW every couple of years. He’s actually warming up to Disney and looking forward to our next trip together in December. We’re not big planners so we relax and mostly wing it in the parks. We’re never disappointed. Just making more memories. And the memories are what I love.
Heading to DW for the first time by myself on Sunday for a conference. Just planning on walking through Epcot and HS at a leisurely pace, in-between conference events. Need to remember I’m there for a conference.
