My family and I went the next summer for our first trip to WDW and this brought back so many memories. Our children were 2 and 6 at the time and started a tradition of going to WDW every summer for many years. We never got enough. Even after our children were grown, my husband and I continued to go many times. I will always have sweet memories of our vacations at WDW.<br /><br /><br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055305976004656875.post-47517249638493591622017-03-11T02:01:04.127-05:002017-03-11T02:01:04.127-05:00I would like to thank George and Becky for sharing...I would like to thank George and Becky for sharing these amazing photos. As I was scrolling through the pictures, I had tears rolling down my face-happy ones. I used to work at Walt Disney World, and the pictures brought back many happy memories for me. I got to go home for a little bit through these photos. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My two brothers, sister and I and i'm not sure if my mother and her parents weren't crying and screaming all the way to there. I have since, been to WDW many times and want to thank you for the great memories, so many enhancements have been made and are still being made as time goes along, it's just that much different but the same. Rides and attractions come and go and I find myself remembering the first Walt Disney World. You've just reminded me of how special it really was and Walt Disney's true dream of people being happy together.
