    We went to MK back in '85 when I was 3. Living in VA (WVA at the time) with a Dad afraid to fly and not enough time to fly, still haven't made it to DL but I've been to WDW numerous times. That first time all I can remember is being so excited about riding the carasoul and Dumbo! Now I hardly do those after all these years exect when my sister was smaller. Of course, at that time Dad was a hillbilly from WVA (in the true sense of the word!) and refused to wear shorts! Mom still laughs about him being the only guy in jeans at the MK in July

    Magic Kingdom 1972. I went with a friend of mine and her parents. We stayed in their Wenabago at FW. That and The Contemporary was the only choices. I think the Poly was still under construction. I'll never forget the first time we came across in the boat from FW and I caught sight of the castle for the first time!!! WOW!!

    My first park was Disneyland back in late '87/early '88 (I just remember my little brother was still a baby in a stroller). My dad's uncle was a CM at the time so he could get us in for free. Not gonna lie though- I don't really remember much. But I'm sure I had fun!

    My first park was Disneyland back in 1965. My first trip to Disneyworld was in 1973, when there was only the MK and you still purchased tickets for the rides. Needless to say, when I returned in 2004 there had been one or two changes to say the least.

    My vote was for MK. I went there for the first time when I was 5, way back in 1978. That was the only park available in WDW at the time! And we had a tower room at the CR ! I wish I could stay there again...maybe one day!

    Default Majority

    I guess I see I am with the majority, I went to Magic Kingdom when we got to the park. I think it was unanimous because of the EMH that night were there. Also because I was a closet princess. Growing up, I was the only girl in a sea of 14 boy cousins, so my love for that kind of thing was put on the back burner. But the minute I saw the castle, my legs couldn't move fast enough, and when I stood at the steps, my eyes welled up and I was just in utter awe

    Back in July,1961, I went with my aunt and sister to California. We traveled the old route 66 which was active at the time.

    Went to Disneyland for a brief visit. I remember how much fun it was. the Monsanta House of the Future was the hit of the time. Everything seemed so futuristic. Only stayed a short time. My aunt did not want to take too long, so we mainly just walked thru. Mt.Matahorn and the Jungle Cruise were the only rides I believe we had time to get on.

    Started going to "Disney World" early 80's. What a difference and continue to do so several times a year.

    My first trip was in 95. I was 9. Our first park was MGM because my parents wanted to wait for a full day for the MK. I believe our first ride was MuppetVision 3*D. If it wasn't the first it was close to it because I remember being the most excited to go on that attraction because I've always loved the Muppets. I yelled with glee when I got my first glimpse of that hot air balloon.
