Idk what year this was exactly, I think I was either 4 or 5 so it was somewhere around 1987 or 1988.
I remember this trip so well because on the way up to WDW, my dad saw a car on fire on the side of the road, and pulled the couple out of their burning car. We stayed at some fancy hotel, and i had these awesome teal heart shaped earrings. It took about 10 min for my parents to get this picture because I was totally creeped out by the dream finder (that’s the bearded man with the top hat for those of you not familiar with Disney/epcot/the journey into imagination).

Best Doctor and Companion ever.
And I’m so tempted to cosplay the Dreamcatcher. Kilt, vacuum hose, brass steampunk bits and bobs, and a stuffed Figment toy…
