Our first stay was in the Fort Wilderness Trailer Homes in 1987. Anyone else remember those? And someone mentioned not liking the parks so much. Our then 4 yo might have liked the parks if he hadn't discovered that our Trailer Home had the Disney Channel. So after a few hours in the park, he'd start asking "Can we go back to our Village and watch TV now?"
We flew out of Worcester, MA and when we got back, DH discovered that he'd left the car keys in a drawer at the resort. Fortunately we lived close to the airport (plus he was marathon training), so he walked home and got the extra keys. The next morning he called WDW, they had the keys, and they overnighted them to us. That kind of service cemented our love for Disney.
Speaking of MA, someone mentioned the Blizzard of '78. Remember it well.
