General:
- Ditching college classes in 1986 to go to
Disneyland and they had a sneak preview of Star Tours. We rode it three times. Then went to the 60 hour opening party in January 1987 and sleeping on the Peoplemover at 3am
- Going to Disney World in January 1990 and the Studios and Pleasure Island had just opened.
- Driving to the Neon Cactus at Disneyland Hotel to watch sports and drink beer on weekends, then going to Disneyland and riding the Teacups buzzed. One of the best times was when our waitress said John Stamos was there and he asked her who we were because we walked in and got hugs from all the waitresses.
- Taking several friends for their first WDW trip. They had the Food and Fun Card, dining plan plus unlimited recreation, for $40 a day.
- Going to Club 33
- Disneyland's 40th birthday. After the ceremony, I took a shortcut through Plaza Inn and nearly bumped into Michael Eisner in the restaurant. He was waiting for some people so I got to talk to him for a few minutes. Then I went outside right as Randy Travis was walking in.
- My first trip with both daughters in December 2004. My oldest daughter was four and really wanted to go to Blizzard Beach. The highest temperature of the trip was 55 degrees so I took her then and we had the park almost to ourselves.
- Christmastime, especially the Osborne Lights, Candlelight Processional and Grand Floridian.
RunDisney:
- First Disneyland 5k in 1995. First event I'd ever run and first time I heard about the Disney World Marathon.
- Finishing Disney World marathon in 2016. Then I found out about the Coast to Coast medal and I did the Dumbo Double Dare at Disneyland in September.
- Finished Dopey Challenge this year.
- DATW, both last year and this year. This year was a little bit better because I was able to stay for every country and the pictures with Goofy, Mary Poppins and British Revolution.
