Prince Harry remembers his childhood trip to Walt Disney World "very well." The Duke of Sussex recalled visiting the most magical place on earth when he was 8 years old during his and Meghan Markle's appearance in ABC's The Happiest Story on Earth: 70 Years of Disneyland special, which aired on Sept. 21.

The Duke visited Walt Disney World in Florida with his mom Princess Diana and older brother Prince William in 1993. "I remember it very, very well," the Duke shared, noting that Space Mountain was "one of" his favorite attractions—and still is to date.

The Duchess admitted in the special edition of 20/20 that going to the happiest place on earth for Grad Nite as a high school senior was one of her "biggest experiences at Disneyland."
Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess made magical memories at two Disney theme parks—Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park—with their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan and Harry, who live in California, took their kids to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim to celebrate their daughter Lili's fourth birthday.
The As ever founder said, "I think for us to be able to have our own childhood memories and then watch that play out through our daughter’s birthday and Archie said, ‘When’s my birthday?'"
Harry gushed that "it was amazing" to see his "kids throw themselves into these experiences when they have no idea what they're walking into." The Duke admitted, "It brings out the kid in you again."
Back in June, Meghan shared a video featuring pictures and footage from their family trip to Disneyland Resort, which kicked off its 70th anniversary celebration this past May. In the caption, the Duchess penned, "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!"
