Summary

I grew up with a Disney family. We were lucky enough to travel to Walt Disney World just about every year, and we visited Disneyland a few times during my childhood. My family not only instilled in me a love for Disney but also encouraged me to pursue my dream of becoming a Cast Member. They also continue to support Imagineer Podcast. Growing up in the 1980's, 1990's, and 2000's going to Disney, my family and I have so many memories to share about our Disney vacations, and we're looking forward to continuing our Disney traditions together with our own children. In this episode, I chat with my wife (Joanna), my sister (Michelle), and my cousins (Michael and Brian) about our Disney family memories. We share what it was like to be 80's/90's kids growing up during the Disney Decade, discuss our earliest Disney memories, and share our favorite moments at Disney over the last 30-35 years. We also dream about the future of our Disney travels, including taking our own children to the Disney Parks. Speaking of children, in case you haven't yet heard the news, Joanna and I will be Disney Parents welcoming a baby girl this December! You can see the announcement on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKS1dpjP_2/). What are your favorite Disney family memories?

The Hello and welcome to the Imagineer podcast, your unofficial guide to All Things Disney. I'm your host, Matthew Krall, and you're

0:58.0

listening to Episode 114 of the Imagineer podcast. Back in November of 2020, I did a podcast

1:05.8

episode called Disney Family Memories. It was a discussion with my mom and my two uncles who grew up going

1:13.0

to Disney when they were kids and they talked about their experiences visiting the 1964

1:17.7

World's Fair, the opening of Walt Disney World, and even taking myself and my sister and my cousins

1:23.8

to visit Walt Disney World and Disneyland when we were kids.

1:32.4

So many of you reached out to me and asked if I could continue that discussion with my generation.

1:33.1

If we could talk about our Disney family memories going to the parks and watching the Disney

1:38.6

films growing up in the mid-1980s through today.

1:42.1

And so that's exactly what I did.

2:02.2

So on the episode today, I have my sister Michelle and my cousins, Michael and Brian,

2:07.6

all of whom I went to Disney so often as a kid.

2:10.5

And even through today, our most recent Disney vacation together was just within the last year.

2:15.2

So we have a lot of Disney family memories to talk about.

2:18.3

I also brought onto the show my loving wife, Joanna, because ever since we started dating,

2:23.6

2:26.0

Our first Disney trip was the first year we were dating.
