The actual first one was All-Star Music in 2001, but I stayed at the Wilderness Lodge with my wife and then 6 and 4 year old daughters back in late Nov - early Dec 2007 for our first family trip. It was a perfect intro resort for all of us - perfect theming and location.
CBR when I was 10 or so (‘93, ‘94?). I haven’t been back to WDW since, and am in the process of of saving and planning for a 2023 trip with my family. I might be staying at CBR in March to attend a wedding, so it will be nice to see if it awakens any of those childhood feelings. While there for the wedding, I’ll be doing some recon to determine where my family will be staying.
Caribbean Beach resort in Nov 1989 a few months after it opened when our boys were 3.5 and 5.5. They're now 35 and 37. Been staying at Shades of Green since 1998.
My first was Poly, with my sister in 1976. With my DH and kids, it was 1994 at Ft. Wilderness cabins, then 1995 offsite, then 1996 BWV studio for cash, finally 1997 Poly, and that was the trip during which we bought DVC.
Contemporary in the mid 1970s. I was about 5 or 6.
Once we started going again regularly...Pop Century in 2005 (after several offsite stays,)
Bought DVC in 2011, first DVC resort-SSR
