Bound for the most magical place on earth

Our much anticipated trip to Disney World begins today and it couldn't have come at a better time with the sad week we had in losing Sunshine last week.  Taylor and Nicole are most looking forward to their first visit to the Magic Kingdom.  At ages 10 and 8, we believe they are at a great age to remember the experience.  I went to Disney World for the first time in 1976 when I was 8 years old, and my first visit to Disney Land was in 1979 (age 11).  My second trip to Disney World was in March 1995 when I met my parents there for a long weekend trip.  Not sure the occasion other than my parents were likely scouting the place for a future trip with their granddaughter Emily.  I remember spending most of our time at Epcot; a day at MGM Studios (Animal Kingdom wasn't open yet), and 1/2 a day at the Magic Kingdom.

My last trip to Disney World was 15 years ago in 1998 when Cindy and I joined my parents along with Vicki, Paul and Emily.  Emily was 5, and Cindy and I were still newlyweds.  Vicki posted this picture on my facebook page the other day wishing us a very merry trip.  I remember all these trips well and I'm looking forward to making some new memories with my girls and my parents who are meeting us there today.
