What year was your first visit to MK and how old were you?
For me, I was 10 1/2 years old in 1973. MK had been open 2 years.

Very first visit was in 1987 and I was 18 years old. I have to say that it was not the trip that made me fall in love with Disney. We stayed off-site and only went to one park and kind of rushed through it so I really did not appreciate it. When DH and I went again in 2002 for the first time with our DD's it was totally different. We stayed at the AKL and did the dining plan or whatever it was back then. We stayed for 4 nights and it was wonderful. Before the end of the trip we knew that we just had to go back the following year for one more trip and stay a full week to really slow down and enjoy the resort and everything Disney had to offer. We have been every year since then. We keep saying just one more year and then we won't go for a few years but we just can't stay away. I always said I would never go in the summer because of the heat and crowds but I'm sure I will change my mind about that too. This really is the last year we can pull my DD out of school and hot crowded disney is better than no disney.

2000 and I was 25. We went with my husband's family to celebrate my MIL's clean bill of health from breast cancer. We also just found out we were pregnant with our first child, so it was an extra special trip for all of us.

I first visited when the MK had only been open a week or so, in late October, 1971. I was 15 years old and we camped off-site with my family and another family from our town that were close friends of ours. My mother was a big Walt Disney fan and had followed the construction so we planned ahead of time to go shortly after it opened.
My memory is faded now, but what I remember specifically was that crowds were much less than we expected and were much much less than they are now. There was no fast pass in those days of course, but we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for any attraction. I can remember thinking that 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a really cool ride, even though looking back now I realize that the underwater effects were pretty low-tech. I also remember the circle vision 360 theater (I don't remember what the film was named), and IASW. And of course the A-E ticket books; you basically had to pay for every attraction you rode. My family was pretty tight with the $$, so we carefully used our tickets.
We were only there for a long three weekend and only visited the MK for one day. and spent the rest of the time at the campground. We did visit Ichetucknee Springs on the way home on that trip which was also cool . . . very cold, in fact.

I was a deprived child! Just kidding, but I didn't visit for the 1st time until I was 38 years old! DS's were 4 & 6! It was magical! We couldn't believe that alot of people that we talked to visited every year! Well that first trip hooked us & in 6 years we've now visited 5 times! We've taken a couple of years to take other vacations, which have been great, but we end up missing Disney sooooo much! My mom was 62 when she visited her first time! She of course came with us & then again the next year! She loves it as much as we do!

I know how you feel. I was 31 and my DD's were 3 & 5. Now we are addicted. My husband, not so much. It's like pulling teeth to get him to agree to a trip. The last trip we went without him.

It was 1990. I was 26 and DW was 25. We took our 4 yr old niece. I will always remember that first time driving onto the property. They used to have a gradually appearing with each sign you drove under. We told our niece we were visiting an old friend and she was sooo excited when she realized who that friend was.
DW had wanted to go since she was little so when we drove onto the property she started to cry tears of joy.
