What Was the VERY FIRST PARK You Went To?

Mine was Disneyland CA. It was the only Disney park in CA way back in the 80's!

...and you?

Magic Kingdom was probably the first park I ever visited. I was only three-years-old.

Magic Kingdom in Disney World. Of course, the choices then were Magic Kingdom or Magic Kingdom!

my first visit at the age of 9 was MK. Then Epcot and MGM during that trip also...but the first park we hit was MK

Not to age myself, but MK, back in 1978, it was the only park at Disneyworld at the time! Man I feel old!

Still feel like a kid when I'm at Disney though

Disneyland, early 70's.

Magic Kingdom - we were staying at the Poly and our room wasn't ready. So we took the boat over to MK and walked around the park. I think we only went on Buzz, it was nice to just walk around and take it all in.

Disneyland California. I may have been when I was a baby, I was born in California and I know for sure we went when I was in kindergarten, so 1989 or so, but there's a huge possibility it was before then.

Magic Kingdom for me, we went to Disney when it opened with my parents, the last time I went with my parents was the year EPCOT opened. Imagine my suprise when I took my wife and kids for the first time. We have been more than once a year since my oldest turned two.

My first Disney park was the original Disney park. I think our first trip to Disneyland was in the late 60's early 70's when I was just a baby. My wife's first Disney experience was Hong Kong Disneyland. My first real memory of Disneyland is probably in the mid 70's.

Much to my chagrin it was Epcot (as a kid I was wanting to do MK first, but was overruled by mom). As it turns out, Epcot was my favorite park. I wish I could say it still was, but it's just not the same without Horizons, World of Motion, and the original JIYI.

**gauvin4** · 07-05-2007, 02:50 PM

For me it was MGM in 1999.

I went to Disneyland when I was in kindergarten. At the time we lived in Washington State.

**brad192** · 07-05-2007, 04:22 PM

For me, it was MK - Christmas Day 1971. Yes, the very first Xmas at WDW!

I remember it was a complete madhouse, with wall to wall people & 2 hour waits for some of the rides (no fastpass then). One CM said that they had closed the park to new arrivals by 11AM, and the parking lot was full. Still, it was the most wonderful day I had ever had to that point. The park was open 'til midnight, and we arrived just after opening, spending almost 15 glorious hours immersed in the Magic.

It was that day I became a WDW fanatic!

My first park was Magic Kingdon in March 1991

and in 2007 and several visits later, I still love it.

**Mousehead35** · 07-05-2007, 04:33 PM

Mine was the Magic Kingdom in 1974 at the ripe old age of 4!

**c&d** · 07-05-2007, 04:35 PM

When I went in '73, MK was the only park at WDW. I couldn't afford to go to CA.

**SBETigg** · 07-05-2007, 04:39 PM

The Magic Kingdom was my first park, back in 81 and I was twelve. We drove by the area that would become Epcot and saw some of the construction. It was very exciting, but the Magic Kingdom was more than enough for me then.

I went to Disneyland 3 times before I made to WDW on a college trip. We had 1 day to pick 1 Park to visit. I wanted to go to MK but all my friends (including the guy I had a major crush on) convinced me to go Epcot (still EPCOT Center back then). I LOVED it and never regretted it. My first meals there were in Germany and Mexico and those are still my 2 favorite restaurants in Epcot.
