I love Throwback Thursdays, and wanted to post a picture from our trip during the 50th Anniversary in July '05! I think the flowers and decorations were especially pretty that visit! Who else was able to be there for the 50th? What are some of your favorite 50th memories?
So pretty - tish

We were! We had a contest to see who could get pics of the most hidden 50 Mickeys. It was a great visit to the parks! - MinnieKimmy

Oh wow, that's cool! You sure had your work cut out for you with those crowds!! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 2:03PM
This was my first adult trip at 18. It was only my second time to the park. It was also the trip that changed my like of Disney to obsession. There was a lot of first for me on this trip. We also had a pain of blank time getting our room. None of us a credit card, not being the age of majority in Canada. Lol. Looking back its hilarious. I have so many memories of that trip. - JediTrance

That's awesome! What a fitting celebrity sighting! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 9:54AM
wow. what a great experience - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1837.7 #43 9:56AM
we went for a 3 day visit- our first and only flight. I don't recall a lot. I do have proof that we got the Ears- but not for me. What a blur. it was so hot and did we EVEN take a camera??? Lemme say...I take so many pics now, Lil and Baby get tired of it. hahaha - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

Haha, how funny! Yes, it was very hot, and very crowded! We always made fun of my Mom for the thousands of pictures she takes, but now that I'm a mom, I understand and am grateful for all the special moments she captures on our trips! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:10AM
I never take photos. My mom didn't really either. We only have a couple of pics of us at DL as kids--and my dad really dislikes DL, so he only went once or twice. I don't think we have a single one of our whole family there together 😢 I'm going to make it a priority once we have kids. - Spoonful_O_Sugar 439.1 #288 8:56PM
Yes, you should! It will be so special to freeze such precious moments with your children that you'll always be able to look back on! Another huge priority for us is to video tape as much as we can in the parks. We have rewatched previous trips countless times, and it's like getting to experience the trip over again every time! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:10PM
That is a beautiful picture! Love the colorful flowers! - meridafan

Me too! They have the most amazing horticulturists!! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 1:01PM
I went during the 50th celebration! My favorite part was the 'remember... dreams come true' fireworks and the parade of dreams. I got goosebumps when they started waving those gold flags at the show stops lol - rbeezy

Oohh, the "remember...dreams come true" fireworks show was AMAZING!! I'll admit I shed some tears during it 😂 - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:17AM
My favorite time of the parks! I'm looking forward to the other major anniversaries, they won't compare to the 50th though. - aprilinjune4

I agree! That one is hard to top 😃 - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 2:28PM
Oh my gosh I love this picture!!! It is postcard perfect!! I loved finding the 50th Mickeys and the firework show was the best I've seen yet!!! - adisneyfamily

Fireworks show was awesome, I remember all of yelling the words thru out the whole show :) - PiratePrincess03 103.8 #3030 6:39PM
Those 50th Hidden Mickey's were awesome! And we also have the fireworks show completely memorized :) - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 8:51PM

Whoop whoop!!! - adisneyfamily 563.9 #202 10:45PM
We were! We went at Christmas & took my mother-in-law. She was more excited than our 10 year old daughter about riding in all the gold vehicles. She actually ran to the Dumbo one so her granddaughter could ride it. - toniasmith

How cute! All the gold vehicles were VERY awesome 😊 - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:34PM
We have pictures of all of them. This is a woman who doesn't rush or run for anything, but she was bound & determined her granddaughter get to ride the gold Dumbo! - toniasmith 266.0 #882 2:08AM
When I went I remember the awesome cast members giving me and all my huge family the 50th anniversary Mickey ears :) - iloveindyjones

Wow, that's awesome! What a keepsake! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:35PM
I remember waiting in line all night, then getting to "sleep" in DCA. Being one of the first ones in on the 17th was just magical. - dduckfan

Wow, that is magical! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 10:35PM
😍😍 I miss the 50th anniversary so much!! I got my first annual pass that May when it all began! And Josh and I started our journey 7 years ago during the 50th and had the first of many visits to the parks!! I loved the Remember fireworks, I know they still have it but I miss the subtle differences where Julie Andrews would say "fifty years ago.." and the tribute to thunder mountain. Also I miss the parade of dreams and the electrical parade.. I know it was at DCA.. I wish they'd bring it back to Mainstreet! - SarahJoshDisney

How neat! I agree about the fireworks. I'll never forget the first time we saw it!! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 4:07PM
The fireworks and the parade!! I had my son during this time and being so emotional I would break down in tears everytime I saw the fireworks - diznymommy84

I hadn't just had a child, and I still cried!! SO amazing! - GibsonGirl87 281.7 #741 4:06PM
We had annual passes that year and loved that year of celebration. It was decorated beautifully. - jjdq
