I filmed a lot of theme parks in Florida during the 90's with my really BIG Sony V6000, and like you, I never expected I would ever put those videos on KZbin. It wasn't that easy carrying this big camera everywhere but, I wanted those memories that much ! Thank you for sharing this footage.

First, we are married the same day as your parents. But 2016. Love that your wearing your Steelers sweatshirt. Your Dad was with you. Both your Mom and Dad had a big hand in who you are. You were a sweet kid. Full of life, full of passion. Your a very special person. HAPPY NEW YEAR JAY AND CRIS!!!!

[@shawnmeyer2788]

I remember quite well the time we went to Disneyworld just after we had Christmas with my grandparents in Palm Beach 1975. Wow 48 years ago. Epcot was under construction. We lived in Indiana. Its great you have the video from 93. Great memories.

[@OrlandoStreets]

My wife and I really enjoyed that Jay. Especially Tomorrowland Speedway and your sharing about your dad at the end. On a side note; we've been married 30 years and my first trip to Disneyland was on my fifth birthday. Happy New Year!

[@thecoolestdad]

I really enjoyed this nostalgic video my friend. I never got to go to Disney World when we were kids. I also never got to be at any Disney park with my parents. They did get to go to Magic Kingdom with my brother and his family, but not with mine. Both have passed away. I got to ride 20,000 Leagues once before it closed down. I remember it well. I don't remember that show that you showed us though. I don't even know the building it was in.

[@briangilliver2197]

Cheers for sharing, very entertaining, emotional. All the best Chris the girl and yourself 2024

[@styxfan4022]

Thanks Jay for taking us down memory lane with you. Very cool, Very special. Wishing you and Cris a very Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

Pretty impressive how well those Characters on stage were able to move so smoothly and not fall or screw up on the stage!

[@Crenshaw_777]

Awesome, I love the way your haircut looked. Thank you so much for sharing. I also love the roadside attraction videos 💪💪💪

[@ll7868]

December 31st, 1993 I was living in Gastown, a neighbourhood near downtown Vancouver, BC living on an internship that paid minimum wage in a fleabag hotel and surviving on McDonalds, pizza delivery and 7-11 nuked yet still half frozen burritos. That night I went with my buddies Rob and Jay to see the Vancouver Canucks lose to the San Jose Sharks in overtime, then we barhopped all night, to be fair I don't remember much after the hockey game. My ex-wife's brother Phil and his girlfriend took her and their mom to San Francisco for a family vacation, they had tickets to see Nirvana and The Butthole Surfers on New Year's Eve. Bobcat Goldthwait opened the show with some stand-up and Phil recorded it all on audio cassette for me. Lost the cassette not long after in a move to Winnipeg.

[@garfixit]

Your dad was with you in this video ❤❤❤

[@susanmccormick2696]

what a nice tribute for your dad. Thanks for sharing your family's video, very touching.

[@hollieprzybysz1848]

[@moviefan7308]

Love that you shared this video jay. It was awesome to see being as I was a kid that grew up in the 90s aswell. What a great time to be alive

Darkwing Duck was my favorite back then! My daughter loves watching it with me now.

[@Crossfirepyro2]

Thank you for your awesome trip back in time I had to reset around between three and five. All I remember is writing Dumbo and 20,000 leagues under the sea. The only memories I have. happy new year.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

What a treasure of a video! Here’s to all the dads that caught awesome footage of our childhoods, my dad is always one of them ❤ thanks for sharing your amazing first day at Disney

[@lolliepop53]

This was so much fun to watch, Thanks Jay.

[@gilbertgranby9339]

My brother sang at the Candlelight Procession 3 years in a row while I was in Jr High. My Dad drove the Choir Robes each time; so I have some Great Memories of those times with him. I actually found a double-barrel pistol in the 'caves' near Swiss Family Treehouse, that you had picked up at the beginning of your video. You were such a rambunctious LiL' Fellow just like I was at that age. Thanks for sharing and taking us down a part of your childhood memory lane. I realize how meaningful and difficult this specific video must have been to film. I too, Miss My Dad. Sending a Big Heart Felt Man-Hug 🫂😔

[@ericaeames28]

This was awesome!! What a beautiful video ❤. You’re such a sweet guy and sentimental- your dad is definitely with you and has tk be so incredibly proud of u and what u accomplished! ❤❤❤

[@TampaJay]

Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@Jarvel5]

Amazing video to end the 2023 season. 🎉

[@brianking973]

My best memory of Disney World is being little and looking at all the small vinyl figurines of all the Disney characters in bins and smelling cherry pipe tobacco from a guy inside the souvenirs shop. I also remember meeting Chip and Dale at Breakfast in the Contemporary. Every time I see Adam the Woo there it brings back memories. Especially seeing the monorail pull into the building. This is a really great video of you.

[@joshuatranterhtd4life677]

Happy fun New Year Jay 🎉 see what I did there 😂 thanks for sharing that was so awesome so sorry to hear about your dad send all my love to Cris stay safe 💙

[@michaelweaver3961]

Thanks Jay !! Awesome memories!!

[@MrMetalminded]

Hi TB Jay. Great video. I’m glad you pan slower than your Dad! LOL! You sure were hyper! I think you were destined to become a KZbinr!! Keep ‘em coming!!!

[@canadiangirl637]

I LOVED this video Tampa Jay. Very reminiscent of your movie locations videos however this one of course was special. Lining up your ‘24 footage with your dad’s ‘93 footage was spot on. Well done J. It’s one thing to have beautiful family memories but to have them captured on video is a blessing. Hats off to your dad for carrying around that large camera, providing you with this treasure 30 years later. All the best to you and your family. Looking forward to the next video.

[@carylcoronis9335]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing! Your family experience was so special and you were such a cute little boy. Wishing you a wonderful 2024!

Thank you! Happy New Year!

Thank you for sharing your memories it’s nice to have things like this on film.

[@Ronaldl2350]

Thanks for sharing a special family time! Happy New Year Jay!

[@patrickhunt674]

Long time lurker, first time commenter. This is one of my favorite videos you have ever posted. I couldn't help but feel the nostalgia parallel to my own memories of my time there as a kid. I know we're pretty close in age as I am 40. I grew up going to Busch Gardens with my dad as we lived just 20 min from the park and I wish we had more pictures or video of those times. My dad has been gone for over 12 years now so I related to that aspect. Thanks for doing what you do

[@TampaJay]

Hi there Mr Lurker! :) Thank you so much for sticking with me. I am so happy to hear from you and appreciate you! Feel very lucky to have these memories and lucky to have you hear too! Happy New Year my friend !

[@AD-zf9jh]

Great memories you have, thank you for sharing! Happy New Year! 🎉

You were a cute little boy. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful memory. Happy New Year!

[@drj2171]

Hey man, it was nice to meet you the day you were filming this. We were the family from Mobile, Al. 👍 Funny thing I forgot to mention is my name is Jay also. 😎

[@Zombie_Trooper]

I still have my mom/sisters 1994 footage. It's really great stuff since so much is long gone like World of Motion and the Jurassic Park exhibit at Universal. I was a tad to young at the time, but I watched that tape so much growing up making it nostalgic in its own way.

[@garfixit]

I love this so many cool moments ❤

[@averybryant6997]

it is good you can get in touch with your past like this, very special to you and us indeed. next to do is bring your own family and document that on this anniversary year..that i think would blow our minds and hearts!

[@user-jh6hb7tf3n]

this is a wonderful video Tampa Jay. Its really cool to see the then and now of disney world and I can't stop laghing about your loon toons reference also happy new year and keep up the amazing work !

Happy New Year Tampa Jay. You are always a good fella.

[@fadinreigne]

that was great video for sure my friend.

[@pauline9242]

Thank you for sharing this very special video with us! Your big heart is evident when you share beautiful videos of your family! Love the nostalgia. You were a super cute kid, and you have the same face just all grown up! You reminded me of my eldest son who was 8yrs. in ‘93. Your mom looks even more beautiful as she ages, such a lovely woman. What a handsome looking couple, on their anniversary! You can tell how much you all loved each other. Thankfully your dad was the videographer to capture these precious memories! He would be so very proud of the amazing man you are! Happy healthy New Year to you, and all your loved ones🙏🕊️🎉😇🥳

[@junebug58]

😎That was just Awesome Jay❤Your excitement and pure joy sharing those precious memories came right through the Screen! You were quite the ham🤣SO cute! We also toted around a huge Sony camera @ WDW when my kids were little❤

[@robinlee6295]

Thank you for sharing this! It brought back memories of our family trip when my boys were 7 and 14 in 86 or 87. We lugged around a huge rented video recorder. We also went to Epcot on that trip. I have the VHS tape here and still have a combo VHS/DVD player to play it on! On another note we bought the trip through the old Disney cable channel at a great discount! So many great memories!

[@Randene31]

Great trip down memory lane! In ‘93 you were a vlogger in training.

[@TampaJay]

Thank you

[@DisDutch]

We just finished packing up all the Christmas stuff. And ordered out. And now watching this very heart warming vid. Almost made us tear up. thanx Jay. You were lucky with such wonderful parents. Hugs

[@denisematthews6215]

Thank you, Jay! It’s pretty obvious to me, after seeing your ‘93 videos, and the 6 year old Jay, that you were destined to become a creator! Those traits were captured on video!

[@trish5556]

I loved watching this! Your little boy you reminded me so much of my own son. Whenever a video camera came out he would ham it up. We still have videos of him jumping into a swimming pool with other kids and he would be hollering to his Dad, "Get me! Get me!" He loved being the center of attention. To this day he is the master of corny jokes, but he is not quite as much an extrovert as he was as a child. Everything you showed at the Magic Kingdon was so familiar. (Pirates of the Caribbean selling women, not chickens...) My son was 15 in 1993 and he and his best friend had annual passes so we would drop them off for the day when there was no school. My husband and I also had passes, so we knew the park inside and out. The first time we took our son he was 6 and we have some pictures, but no videos. I got a camcorder around 1996 and took it on Big Thunder Mountain and watching that video of me laughing and screaming is hilarious! Our favorite place since our son was little was Casey's. We would get hotdogs and sit on the bleachers in there as he watched Disney cartoons on a big screen. The last time my son and I went there together he was almost 30 but still enjoyed doing that. I have a picture to prove it! Thanks for sharing your memories, especially since it was in memory of your beloved Dad.

[@TampaJay]

Thank you! Happy New Year!

[@CosmicKingGeorge]

Happy New Year, Tampa Jay 🙂

[@AncientWolfHowl61]

Happy New Year, Jay! 🥂 Talk about finding Buried Treasure, your Dad’s video is a Priceless Treasure! Seeing the joy on your face as you relived those happy memories of your childhood was amazing. You were truly lucky to grow up in the age of video where your Dad could record your family’s adventures of that day. The video and the pictures really are a Window Back in Time for you, so happy for you that you found them! Thanks for sharing them with us all! Best of Luck to both you and Cris in the New Year! 🥂 I so look forward to your upcoming Adventures! Take care.
