My first trip we stayed at the Sheraton Vistana on my parents timeshare. It was really nice and roomy. But it still is not as good as staying on property (I have since found out.)

My first trip to WDW we stayed at Howard Johnsons on Disney property (our honeymoon in 1975).

Our first real on-site stay was at Dixie Landingsabout 15 years later. We stayed there for 4 or 5 Decembers in a row and loved it. I still have some crayon drawings of farmer Mickey surrounded by vegetables. Very cool poster like drawing I colored in with drawing pencils. They gave those out the first couple of years they were open.

My first trip was 2005 and we stayed at the Pop Century.

Oops! I kind of answered this in the first question already by accident So I will just post it again...

We camped at Fort Wilderness where I met my first 'Possidilly'. I was a bit precocious, somehow I knew at age 5 that the armadillo wouldn't hurt us. My parents flew into the camper as I sat patiently at the picnic table and exclaimed "mom, the Possidilly won't hurt us!"

Fort Wilderness. We had a motorhome, so we stayed there a lot when I was a kid.

In 1982 (Spring Break with 2 little girls) we decided to make a trek to WDW from Dallas. I made reservations on the internet (way ahead of my time) and booked a room at the Sheraton World, thinking it was near Disney World. Turned out to be across the street from Sea World on International Drive. It was a nice hotel, but was not "on property". Have stayed on property ever since, since to me you have to get away from the regular world and be totally involved in only Disney World. I am the biggest fan, but my family has joined me as being biggest fans of staying on property to get the total experience.

Our first visit we stayed at ASMo! DS's then 4 & 6 were so into Toy Story & Buzz & Woody, & they loved the HUMONGOUS icons there from this movie! That's why I chose that resort! We have the cutest pix of them in the RC car there on the property! It was perfect for us that first trip! Very magical!

Royal Plazza for the first two trips - '75 & '77 then my first on property - Golf Resort. Boy have times and the number of resorts changed

[GrmGrninGost]

We camped at Fort Wilderness my first trip.

[DizRunner]

We stayed in Daytona Beach and drove the whole way. Today I feel bad for my dad to have to drive all the way back after a long day at the MK. (This was in '72.)

[bjbunny]

We stayed at my grandparents house in Ocala and drove down for the day.

In 1981, when I was 6 years old, we stayed at Fort Wilderness. Then after years and years of begging we went back in 2002 and stayed at Port Orleans Riverside.

[conorsmom2000]

My first trip was in 1977 and we camped at Fort Wilderness. I don't remember much, other than the movies with Chip & Dale! My next trip was in March, 1995 with my then boyfriend, now husband, Mike - our travel agent booked as at the newest hotel, the Wilderness Lodge!!! It was love at first sight for us and that's been our hotel for Disney ever since!

My first 12 + visits I stayed at my house, since we lived about 30 minutes away from the MK.
As an adult, my first on-site hotel was ASM.
(We stayed off-site once - we won't even go there - awful! I don't remember where it was.)
We loved staying at ASM. I will never stay off-site again if I can help it.

I don't recall the proper name of the hotel, but it was the Marriott right off the highway and we could see Illuminations and the Epcot ball get lit up by lasers from our balcony. (For a 8 year old in the 80's that was cool!)
