A Florida mother and son who visited Disney World on opening day in 1971 decided to recreate a photo taken that day when they visited the parks again for its 50th anniversary.
Susan Gaul Kroll and her son Bill were one of the first people to attend Magic Kingdom on its opening day on October 1, 1971.
Kroll shared a photo collage of their recent visit to Facebook as you can see below:
“and here it is 1971 to 2021 – then and now – thanks for all the memories Mom and Walt Disney,” Kroll said in the post.
To this day, Kroll says his mom often frequents the parks once or twice a week. They both also have a history with the theme park giant, given Kroll worked as a seasonal employee for the Mouse and his mom performed during the EPCOT Candlelight Processional.
