I’m doing these in chronological order…and there is more than 5.
-
My first trip to WDW (when it was only MK) when I was in 7th grade. Back then Space Mountain had cars where you sat 2 and 2 in the lap of the person behind you. We were a family of 5 so my younger siblings sat w/ our parents and I rode alone in the next car. Mom was NOT a thrill ride person and my sister (5th grade at the time) was sitting w/ her. Sis screamed during the ride…“Mommy, help me!” My mom screamed back, “Help you? Who is going to help me?”
-
Marching down Main Street w/ my drum and bugle corps at 19yo. I unfortunately felt sick the entire time because I ate at Kikkoman Palace just before the parade and it was July. Not a great idea. That was also the first time my now dh and I were at MK together.
-
Watching the Tapestry of Nations parade in EPCOT. Absolutely LOVE that music! …also, Illuminations. Hands down my favorite nighttime Disney show, on either coast.
-
My first trip back to MK since I was 19yo (10+ years later). That moment where I was standing on the dock waiting for the ferry and got teary eyed w/ my first glimpse of the castle.
4(b) Later that day, my now dh gave me my engagement ring at Cinderella’s Wishing Well. We had dinner in the castle for the first time a few hours later. Every time we visit, we get a family picture in front of Cindy’s Well. We even got one at Snow White’s Well when we were in DLR last summer!
-
My daughter’s first trip (18mo) she was dressed as Cinderella for MNSSHP. Cindy was walking by us and stopped. Said to dd, “Look at you! You look just like me!” Dd was beaming for the rest of the trip!
-
Ds’ first trip (2yo). He was completely enamoured with Donald Duck and followed him all over Chef Mickey’s. He also LOVED the dance parties (MVMCP) and the drummers in AK. This picture doesn’t come close in conveying the sheer joy he had in dancing to the drummers.
-
Both kids rode It’s a Small World as their first rides at WDW. I’m originally from NY and my parents rode it at the NY World’s Fair back in the early/mid 60s. My mom had passed away years before, but her joy of riding it on our family trip continued on in her grandchildren.
-
Mom and dd trip for dd’s 7th birthday. The morning of her birthday we had breakfast in the castle before the park opened. We had an amazing table for two looking over Fantasyland. They had decorated the table for her birthday with Cinderella themed confetti, and she had a chocolate mousse slipper dessert for breakfast. The princesses fawned all over her and gave her a signed, single sheet “card” from all of them. After breakfast, she rode the teacups at rope drop (I have an awesome picture of that too), then rode Space Mountain. The dichotomy of my big (7yo) girl climbing into the roller coaster car in her little girl Cinderella dress was just mind blowing!
This summer we will be in WDW for dd’s birthday again…she is turning 17yo!
- Our first trip last year to DLR was amazing. We had so many magical moment. My ds found a Goofy Hat he loved and wore it EVERYWHERE the entire trip! I got to meet Oswald! …and we had a private meet with Steamboat Willie!
(note that dd and I are both wearing Mickey/Minnie shirts and dh and ds are both wearing Spiderman shirts! It was completely unplanned.

Dd did the Kid’s Pirate Cruise from GF one year (7yo). I took the boat from GF to MK while she was doing the cruise and our boat passed the one the kids were in. They all crouched down on the floor and sprung up as we passed screaming ARRRGGGHHH!
Absolutely magical!

In the order they sprang to mind (make of that whatever you will!):
- Raglan Road
- FOP
- FotLK
- Leisurely strolling WS with no plan (taking pictures, stopping to watch street performers, snacking here and there when I get hungry)
- First time stepping into the Oasis on my first trip to WDW. I was solo, and the whole experience of being by myself and stepping into an other-worldly, exotic, jungle-y park was unforgettable.

I have not been to Disney in like 20 years. So here are a few of the things I actually remember from when I was a child/young adult.
-
Space Mtn. We waited in line for nearly an hour and then I chickened out. My sister rode but I didn’t. And then I decided I did actually want to ride it. So we waited in line again and I did ride it and it was awesome.
-
Watching Riverdance in Epcot at the American Gardens Theater.
-
Being allowed to go to the parks alone (with a friend, but NOT with my parents) when I was 18 and there with my family.
-
Chef Mickey’s with my little brothers on their first trip (they were 7 and 5) and the looks on their faces the whole time.
-
Taking a boat (either the Liberty Square Riverboat or the ferry back to the TTC…I don’t remember which) after dark.
I’ve been to WDW probably 15 times. I honestly don’t remember much of it because most of those trips happened before I was 10. But these are things I’ll remember forever!

Ours was only last week so still fresh in the memory.
- FOP and my DD8’s reaction after coming off it. She was blown away and her expression was priceless!
- HEA fireworks and feeling so emotional hugging my 2 DD’s throughout it. They usually get embarrassed when I tear up (over almost everything emotional), but they just hugged me tighter as they felt it too.
- Dinner at BOG and our pic with the Beast. He was hugging me so tight and rocking side to side. Hilarious!
- Spaceship earth. I didn’t expect to enjoy this one so much.
- DD11 meeting Princess Jasmine for the first time. She just loved it, and I didn’t expect her to get such joy from meeting a princess at her age.
