Obviously, Magic Kingdom and Epcot... maybe I had a thing for ewoks.... maybe I have a stuffed Ewok that was my favorite toy... maybe I still have him...
Nope, those of us from Disneyland Land (aka Southern California) see no reason to travel to Florida when we have Disneyland AND California Adventure (which totally kicks Disneyland's ass).
yep. once with pneumonia and once without. and the doctor i saw on the drive down when i had pneumonia refused to give me anti-biotics "just to make my parents feel better", so if anyone was there in spring break '93 and subsequently got sick, sorry about that :).
on the plus side, when you're sick as a dog on vacation, your parents feel bad and buy you more useless disney crap, like the light up rose i got at the magic kingdom light parade. totally still have it.
yes. my folks tricked us one christmas break by telling us we were driving to florida to see our grandparents (who lived in tampa), but instead our grandparents met us at disney world. vikki = tricky.
Yup! Twice actually. The first time I was 6. I missed the entire third week of first grade to go to Disney World because my dad had a conference. Awesome!
I have to say that going to Disney World was a magincal experience. My mother and father planned this elaborate way to tell us on christmas morning that we were headed to Disney World the next day but leaving clues all around the house from 'santa.' i think i literally started crying when we figured it out. AWESOME. As an adult, i think Orlando is a pit of sadness and greed but as a child-awesome.
Once when I was in first grade, almost no memory of it other than my mom making me do space mountain...then feeling like she was a terrible mother because it scared the shit out of me. I distinctly remember thinking I was going to be launched into the rafters and never found again.
Nope...when you grow up 40 minutes from Disneyland, it's really all you need. And since there's only one place to get alcohol at Disneyland (Club 33), and it costs about $10k to join, then another $3k per year in membership fees to partake, California Adventure is a VERY welcome addition...lots of beer and wine to be had.

The year it opened and several since then. My kids have a Disney dad, so they've probably been there as many times as I have.

Yes...I think when Epcot Center was new.
I was at SeaWorld for a conference, and we got drinks at Fantasy Island afterwards. But I've never been to actual DisneyWorld or Land.
Yes. If you ever go for an extended visit, go around xmas time. No one is there.

Guess i have some memory of it.
yup, a few times. we used to go often when i grew up in florida and then once more when i was a teenager. never been to disney land though.
Never. Kind of a shame really :(
I used to perform at Disney World in a glee type group each spring break while in high school. film at 11.
