What year did you first visit WDW?

It was the summer of '72. My parents took us camping at FW with a couple other families. Only one park, two hotels, and FW. Boy has it changed!

1984 first trip with our daughter

Summer of 1972 - I was 2 years old. I, obviously, don't remember the trip myself, but a couple things happened: My parents started the tradition of photographing us kids beside the trash can in front of the riverboat. Oh, yeah, I'm told my stroller collapsed with me in it.

I continue to return to Disney as often as possible...minus the stroller.

May 1999 during the flower & garden festival. Great first experience!

January, 1976. Space Mountain had just opened up and was the scariest ride imagineable (or that's the way it seemed back then!)

My 15 year old daughter and I went for the first time in 2000 ! Very special !

First trip was Summer 1994. I was 7 years old.

First trip with my fiancé was April 2009 and he was so surprised that there was more there than just roller coasters and fast rides. He declared "Mickey's Philharmagic" one of his favorites

1981, Easter, at age 12. Stayed at the Contemporary, had frequent meals at the Poly.

Besides the park (only MK then), some highlights were the Broadway at the Top of the World dinner show (where California Grill is now) and dinner in the Empress Room at the Empress Lilly (now Fulton's Crab House).

I was 2 at the time when Disney opened in October of 1971. I was on the front page of the Sentinel paper with Mickey that month. I have lost my copy of the paper though.

June 9th 2000. A High School Graduation Present I was 18.

**dream6** · 05-12-2010, 10:13 PM

Sometime in '89 or '90 - I was four. And terrified of the huge characters...

**Skippy** · 05-13-2010, 06:17 AM

Dec 1978. I was year and half old. I still have the mickey that I got as a souvenir from that trip. (and an 8mm roll of video that I need to get transferred to DVD

)

1973.

And I've still got some unused "A", "B", "C", "D" and "E" tickets.

Summer 1972. We went to WDW and Cape Canaveral. I was hooked on WDW from day 1 even though I was only 6 years old. Does anyone remember the old Eastern Airlines Flight Simulator at WDW ???

**DisneyDoug2** · 05-13-2010, 08:45 AM

Spring Break 1980, I was 16 and went with two buddies, no parents and Space Mountain was my first ride!

**ASweetLov** · 05-13-2010, 12:11 PM

April 2006. I was 22

**eeyorepoohfan** · 05-13-2010, 12:56 PM

I know I went in the very early 80s a couple of times, before I was 6 years old. My only memories are pictures. My first memorable trip would have been in 1989, I think, I was around 11. Next trip high school graduation in 1997.

Then 2009 with my hubby for our 7th anniversary (belated honeymoon)! Am now completely hooked and addicted!! Trying to get there again this year!.
