Ok. Time to get a little personal. 26 years ago, my brother and I visited Walt Disney World for the first time with our Aunt and Uncle and a little over a year later, we visited again with my parents.
I don't have many pictures from that second trip for a few reasons, but I do have a BUNCH from the first. That first picture in front of the Tree of Life was taken in October of 1998, just a few months after Animal Kingdom opened. That picture, and the others from that trip helped spur my love for Disney World. Little did we know that just a few short years later, my Aunt and Uncle would be the ones raising us as their kids.
Flash forward to now. We are the parents and are taking our littles to experience the magic. The folks in this picture (and a few others who didn't rise quite as early as we did) made our last trip to central Florida a really special experience. I truly hope that those kiddos have the lasting impact that my first trip did for me.
