When I was 7 years old my mother and father brought my sister and I on a family vacation to Disney World I remember most of it. I remember The pirates Of The Caribbeans. The reason for remembering you had to ride in a boat of some kind and at the end of the ride you went down a big water fall or something. It was cool. The next year I was 8 years old our parents brought us again. I remember Epcot Center( don't know how to spell) that was an amazing place. Lots of cool things. Well I haven't been there since and I'm 30 years old . I know it has really changed. Now they have MGM studios and etc. So have you been ?

I went to Disney World about 5 years ago. There was a huge group of us, all family We visited both Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom (Magic Kingdom, btw, is basically Disney Land) It was an amazing experience, I have always been a HUGE Disney fan. Someday I would love to go back and visit MGM Studios and Epcot Center. If you get the chance, do go again! You really appreciate certain things more as an adult, such as landscaping and how authentic they try to keep things.

I would really love to go again .I heard they have added so much to the park. I think there was only Magic Kingdom and Epcot when I went. We went for about 5 days and didn't even see every thing. Then my family went to Daytona Beach. You have to spend a could 2 weeks I bet to see it all now.

Oh yes, you definitely need time to see it all! That was my one disappointment from my trip there - We only had the time to spend one day in each park. I know there had to be A LOT that we missed.

I haven't been to Disney World but I've been to Disneyland many, many times. However, Disney World seems a lot cooler, because they have multiple theme parks. I'd love to visit the Wild Animal Kingdom. Do they still have the Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks?

I haven't been there in so long since I was 7 and 8 years old . and now I'm 30. To tell you the truth I never saw a water park at Disney World. And the Typhoon Lagoon sounds familiar but don't really remember. But I remember it was a great time.

I've never been to Disney World and can't say I see what's the appeal surrounding it either. Sure, when you're a kid or a pre-adolescent at most that is really into cartoons, than it should be your lifetime goal...but once you're past that age, come on, can't be that fun to act like an infant for a few days? I know I'd be spending my money on a better and more mature way, at least...

No, I have to say that I've never been to Disney World. I have gone to Disneyland a few times when I was little (about the same as you were when you went to Disney World), though that isn't exactly the same thing now, is it? LOL I haven't been there since. I'd like to be able take my kids one day so they are able to experience it.

I would like to bring my kids all so. I've never been to Disney Land . I would really like to see what is so different about the two. Hope to see one day.

hi Hunnie, I have only been to Hong Kong Disney land once. It was few years back and I was 20++ years old. I did try some ride and I admit Hong Kong Disney Land is nothing if to compare to other Disney land. But I bought a lot of souvenirs from Disney Land. I hope one day soon I can get to travel to other Disney Lands.

I have been to Disney World twice, but I do not really care to ever go back. Sure, I still like Disney World, but I have way more fun at Disneyland and it is a lot cheaper, especially since we live closer to there than Disney World. Disneyland we end up going to at least once a year. The only thing I like about Disney World that Disneyland does not have is the country pavilions in Epcot.

i first went when i was 23 years old with a friend of mine and her family. they invited me to come along and it was also the first time i flew on a plane. i loved epcot during that first trip. that was in 1984. in 1995 my husband and i took a trip and we drove as i hated flying so much i vowed i would never fly again. we went in january and there was virtually no one there so we had no waiting time in lines and it was actually a bit nippy which we were not prepared for so we had to buy windbreakers for going on the outdoor rides. when my son was almost 4 in 2003 we took him for the very first time and it is doubtful he will remember much but we had such a good time and i will always remember it. we took him back again just after he turned 5 in 2006 and it is likely he will remember a bit more about that trip. so grateful we got to take him at all because taking vacations is just not in the cards for us any time in the near future due to the economy.

I know what you mean about taking vacations . I wish i could take my children to experience and see Disney World. Some day. Hopefully soon. I bet you took lots of pictures, so your son will all ways be able to see them.

Hi Hunnie!=) Yes, I have been to Disney world about 6 or 7 years ago. I remember the Peter Pan rides, a flying ship where we can see buildings, and lights. Its so magical I can't find the words to explain it. The experience was wonderful.
• United States

That is cool I don't believe Ive been on the Peter Pan ride. So much has been added to the park. I was 7 and 8 years old. I am 30 years old . I would love to go now.

i never been there, but i wish to be there one of this days, sooner or later.. i hope so, lol.. does it costs a lot??
• United States

I am not the sure I think they have great packages now. I all so herd if you plan your trip in advance you can get great deals. And the cost won't be so hard on you. You can pay monthly. One of my girl friends did that . she planed a year in advance. I all so know you should plan for at least a week there . there is so much to see. Good Luck Talk to a travel agent . They are a great help. They set your whole trip up for you, and get you the best prices.

I've been to Disney World two times. As a little kid, I absolutely loved DisneyLand. All the rides I would go on, all the popcorn and cotton candy I would pig out on. My parents were good sports and let me ride by myself and buy what ever I want. (Food I mean.) It is a truly exciting experience. I havent been there for about 15 years or maybe even 20 years. I hope to go once Im old to relive back dsome memories.

I feel the same way It has been that long for me. I am 30 years old and i went when I was 7 and 8 years old. So many people have told me there is so much more to the park now. I hope to bring my 2 children one day.

unluckly i never been to disneyland park before i think that if you have the opportunity to come when you was a child all can seem magic for you inside the big park and now you turned back in the adult age you should have fun considering many attractions there...may be in the future if there is occasion i think it should be funny a visit like that!!
• United States
19 Aug 09
yes it would be pretty cool to visit the magical park again now that I'm an adult. If I had some money I would take my 2 children there.

I've been the Disneyland when I was really young. I don't remember much except that I eat this really sweet Cinderella cookie. Ah, there was also a big snake that we took pictures with. That's all I remember. Next time when my little cousins go, maybe I'll go along to see what's it like again.

There is one thing I remember the most The Electric Parade . The park had it every night. It was amazing to see. Do you remember that.

No, I have not but I really would like to go. I'm so into travelling but this summer has just been so busy with work and school that I can't seem to get away, ahhhh! Maybe next summer. I do know that once I do go, I will not be spending my whole time at Disney World though but checking out the cities near by and anything else I can get my hands on to make the most out of my trip without saying, "Boy, I really wish I did that while I was there."

When my family and I went we spent 5 days at Disney World right inside the park in there hotel. Then we spent the rest of our vacation at Daytona Beach. Were we laid around like beach bums.That is a beautiful place to be.
19 Aug 09
No i havent been to Disney Land nor Disney World but i am hoping to go there next year or the following year and take my daughter as i think she would love it there, plus im sure that i would too
• United States
19 Aug 09

You will really enjoy it when you have the chance to come and visit. So many things to see and do. If you have children your kids will enjoy every minute of it. And if you do not have children you will enjoy it all so. it's not just for kids any more.
