Woot! 300 Posts! Earliest ride memory?

[battle beast]

In honor of my 300th post, what is your earliest ride memory???

Mine in the first time I rode the Matterhorn. It was my first ride, and the one I go on ONLY ONCE, first off after I enter the park. Still brings a tear to me old eye!

[BigRedDad]

Earliest memory of a ride is the tram from Fort Wilderness. In the park, it has to be the train.

I remember the boat/ferry taking us from the TTA to MK. I remember seeing the MK & Cinderella's Castle getting closer & nearly wetting myself with excitement.

By the way, congrat's on 300th post. I'm nearing that mark myself.

[Disney Dee]

I remember my first roller coaster ride, Space Mountain!

[Bruegge]

It's not really a ride... but the first memory was going thru the CR on the monorail

Back when they still had tickets - the first ticket my family used was for the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. It still has a dear place in my heart. I don't even remember what type of ticket it was. Your first time to WDW is always special. There is nothing like those memories. The next best thing is the first time your kids experience it. It is like seeing everything through a child's eyes.

I remember 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea from my first trip. I remember really thinking we were under the water. I remember doing a bunch of other rides too. But that one sticks out the most.

As for new threads. Click on discussion at the top. Then click the topic to which your thread applies. From there you should see a button for news posts.

Good luck!

on your 300th!! Yipee!

Mine is the monorail. I stayed at the Contemporary on my first trip and was amazed at the monorail ride into the MK.

[Marilyn Michetti]

Our first ride was World of Motion in 1983. That will always be my all time favorite.

[rafiki fan]

I don't know why but as mentioned already there was something about the 20000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction that really stayed with me. I really wish our kids could experience it. Of course time goes on and I know one day they will tell their kids that it was great to experience classics like "Food Rocks!!" a family favorite.

[Mickey91]

It's A Small World at WDW. 1973, I was 2 and mad that we didn't have another ticket to go again!

[Sammyjo]

My first trip we stayed at the Poly so I remeber the monorail being the first thing I rode. At six years old it's a ride and I still think it's a ride.

I was not fortunate enough to get to go to WDW as a small child. Instead, it was not until I was a freshman in HS when I went to march in the Main Street Electrical Light parade with my HS marching band. I remember our first day was spent at the Magic Kingdom before the parade and I wasted a lot of time walking around having no clue about anything or where anything was. I wanted to do something but didn't like all the lines. Therefore, I came across the Haunted Mansion with a short line. That was my first taste of Disney animatronics and is among my favorite attractions to this day. I still remember my good friend imitating the butler cast member saying, "No more bodies, please."

[King Triton]

My first rides were the tram to the TTC and the monorail to the MK.

But, I assume you mean in the park, which I don't recall. It may have been an E ticket for Jungle Cruise, but I'm not sure. (JC was "E", right?)

[crazeedizneefinatic]

The earliest memory for me was being 5 or 6 years old and riding Dumbo over and over and over again! Also being "scared" riding 20,000 leagues under the sea! I can remember climbing down under and sitting on the little stools and wondering if the water was going to start rushing in the top. Little did I know! My most recent memory of a wonderful ride was the first time my husband and I rode Expedition Everest! Had no idea what to expect and got the front seat! All I have to say is "WOW"!

[darthmacho]

The year is 1998, it is early morning, before the park's official opening, and I am making my way through the hauntingly wonderful queue of none other than Space Mountain. After a fairly short wait that was filled with much anticipation, I stepped into the front car, waved to the CM's in the control room, and then...take off onto my first WDW ride ever!

By the way, I was 27 years old at the time.
