I’ve scanned the handful of pictures that where taken during my very first Disney vacation at Walt Disney World, back in November of 1993. I was only 13 at the time. Unfortunately, back then the whole digital camera technology was non-existent, and because film development cost mucho denarii, there weren’t a whole lot of pictures taken. This is too bad as I would have liked to have remembered more about this trip.
Don’t laugh too hard at me.

Amy, me, and Pete at Epcot; but apparently Mom asked us to look directly into the sun for the photo.

Aunt Mary, back in the day when she used to work for the mouse.

That’s Peter and me back there in that role of film.

I know the ride in the background is Splash Mountain, but I have no idea what’s going on with me here. I don’t think I’ve ever made this face at Disney World since.

I’ll answer some questions: No, I don’t know what I’m doing in this photo. Yes those are my beloved ‘High-Tops’. No I wasn’t buying my own clothes yet. Yes I know those shorts and that sweater have no business being put together.

A closer look at my prized Aladdin possessions. How prized are they? Well, here is an updated photo that I took tonight:

That is so great! Haha- didn’t we all look like that (hair/outfits) back then?
I kind of feel like opening the box for the first time and playing with them now since seeing your picture. 
Love the Aladdin figurines! When David and I were down there a year and a half ago- I got Beauty and The Beast figurines. David didn’t quite understand and I felt a little silly but I just had to- it’s my favorite Disney animated film.

I know about the outfits. Sometime I just want to ask my parents, “What were you thinking?”, but then I remember that Logan will probably grow up and ask Dana and I the same thing.
The Aladdin figures are awesome. I’ve always been some-what of a pack rat, but I am very happy that I still have everything I purchased on that first vacation.

HA!! I am amused to be able to say I REMEMBER when you all looked like that and wore those clothes
Those are great pics… I love the bathing suit and staring into the sun pics haha.
I’m guessing you guys stayed at the Dolphin??
I should try to locate the ones my parents have from our early trip to WDW =)
Then I can embarrass myself as well

Mom’s take on the clothes: I don’t remember the boys ever wanting to go clothes shopping with me, so they had to take what I brought home!! sorry, Paul

I just laughed SO HARD! (Not at your expense, I promise!) My favorites? Tagging your hair in the picture and the shorts/sweatshirt/high top combo. Ah, those were the days. Sometimes I wish I was 13 again when the biggest thing I had to worry about was ….gosh, there was nothing to worry about. Thanks for the flashback.
