This is always nostalgic for me as this is the first thing we saw on our first trip to WDW. We had always been to
Disneyland all of our lives and in 1996 we were in our early 40's and arrived in Orlando at night. We came in on the "Central Florida Greenway" and after seeing some of the developement we were suddenly surrounded by dark forest and saw our first purple sign. We came to an off ramp to the road I wanted and there was the OKW water tower. Even though I had researched the trip (too much) and new all about the layout it was so exciting to realize how different (and huge) WDW was going to be compared to DL.
