slo’s WEDNESDAY 11/19 poll - Your FIRST Time Meeting Mickey (slo’s Mickey Week)

[slo]

Meeting Mickey Mouse at a Disney Park is so much fun regardless how old you are. I think it’s safe to say that many of us have a favorite Mickey Mouse to take a picture with, but before we could get a favorite, we had to have a first time meeting him. Some of us were a child when we had our first meet & greet at a Disney Park, and some of us were older adults. Let’s find out how old you all were when you first met the mouse that started it all. Tell us today….


How old were you when you first met Mickey Mouse at a Disney Park?

For Me…….My first time meeting Mickey at WDW was in 1976 - I posted a picture below. I’m forever grateful that my parents drove me from NW Indiana to Orlando to visit WDW.

I don’t remember seeing any characters when I was a kid at Disney.
So I guess I met Mickey for the first time with my own kids when I was 41.

We couldn't afford Disney when I was a kid so my first trip was when I was 42, when DD was 5. I am not sure if we met Mickey that trip (I don't think so) but it was within a year or two that we became Disney regulars and would have scheduled a meal at Chef Mickey's!

I don't really know. Our first trip to WDW was 1979, and IIRC, they didn't have characters then. So probably was sometime in the early 90s.

I was 43 (DH 44)when we took our sons to WDW. They were 17, 11 and 9. We met Mickey at Chef Mickey's. I was hooked.

My first time was when I was two in Disneyland. My mom has a picture somewhere. I don't remember it.

My next time was when I was 13 in Disney World.
