First Disney Ride ever ridden

[applecore72]

I was 17 and came as an exchange student from Sweden. My first WDW-ride was Spaceship Earth and I hade never seen anything like it! Now, 22 years later, I still go back to Florida every other year and I always go back to Disney World (with my 2 DDs and my wonderful DH) - and yes - one of favourite rides is still Spaceship Earth!

The first Disney ride I had ever rudder was It's A Small World at the World's Fair. I was only 3.

This was my mom's first ride, too!

Haunted Mansion way back when there was only the MK.

My first ride at Walt Disney World was The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. I really enjoyed it, but honestly I think I would have enjoyed anything. I did not take my first trip to DW until I was 18 and I was just so excited to be there.

Just like I always do it. My first was Jungle Cruise. Now I always hit Adventureland first.

Its so long ago ,but for Epcot i am sure it was Spaceship Earth ,for MK i have a feeling it was the Jungle Cruise

Long time ago Feb 1977 on our honeymoon,we read that everyone comes up Mainstreet and goes to the right,so we went to the left. The first attraction was Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, but as far as the first ride, it was the Jungle Cruise.....

Awesome thread! Though I can't say for sure, because I don't remember clearly that far back, the first ride I remember riding was the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in the early 80's. I distinctly remember being scared, and wiggling out from under the lap bar and trying to huddle completely under the domed cover of the foot space in our Doombuggy. Not something I recommend now that I'm a responsible adult of course, but I was about 5 at the time and my parents couldn't exactly reach me to drag me back up onto the seat from there! I clearly remember peaking my head out the side of the Doombuggy in the graveyard scene! That's about all I remember from that ride though.


This thread also reminded me of a fact I just learned about my dad on our last trip to WDW last year - My dad has had the distinct privilege of riding the Carousel of Progress in all three if it’s homes – he rode it as a child at the NY World’s Fair, again at Disneyland in his teens, and then again at Disney World as an adult! I find this fact to be incredibly cool! (I’m that much of a Disney nerd though)

Alien Encounter was my first ride in 1998. I've heard many people say they didn't like it but I loved it. Wish they would bring it back.

Couldn't tell you what my first ride at Disneyland was, back when I was 4. But my first ride at WDW on my honeymoon in 2002 was Pirates of the Carribean.

My first ride in 92 was the astro orbiter. first ride every time i go to now is haunted mansion.

I actually can't remember because I've been going to WDW since I was less than a month old...but probably something like It's a Small World....

The first, I think, was the Jungle cruise at DLR in 1973. As far as WDW goes, I think thr same. In fact, the Jungle Cruise is usually my first ride to this day. I love it!

When I was a kid I loved the movie 20k leagues under the sea, so I forced my parents to get in line for that first. We rode it three times. Nemo was what started my fascination with villains.

first ride i remember was our family's first trip in '73, i was around 10 i remember riding the indy speedway cars with my dad....man those cars seem alot faster when you're 10!!

I was 13 at the time & had grown up watching Disney on TV & just hoping my parents would take us there when WDW was completed. Happy, happy me! Christmas Day 1971 we entered MK and rode IASW first. Yup! My very first trip & ride were on the very first Christmas at WDW!

On our first visit in 1982 my DS and I headed directly for POC and it became the first ride with every visit after.On those early 80's trips we would take in another ride on POC and maybe some breakfast before heading for 20,000 Leagues which usually opened an hour after everything for some reason and would have a huge line throughout the rest of the day.

My was the Haunted Mansion as well! And it's still my favorite at WDW!
