When Was Your First TIME at WDW?

WDW opened October 1971. My first time there was June 1972. I was 7 years old. Been hooked ever since.

I think it was 1972. I was about three years old.

For years I had a memory of going on a safari boat and seeing a hippopotamus in water. It wasn’t until I was in my early 20s that I went back to Disney World for the first time after than and went on Jungle Cruise and realized where the memory was from. My life made so much more sense after that.

I don’t think I have any other Disney World memories other than that one.

I guess I have to find our old family photo albums…

Spring of 1972. Somewhere there's a slide (that's how my dad did his pictures back then) of we three (at the time) kids at the end of the day. I have on a big floppy brim hat that I bought and my braids are coming unravelled. One brother had a phantom dog leash that he got by Haunted Mansion, and the other brother had a Davy Crockett style rifle that he got in Frontierland. We're all sporting our classic Mickey Disney World shirts and we look totally spent (but happy).

Summer of 1980. I was a few months old and obviously don’t remember anything from that trip.

It's amazing how so many things have changed and some I can't remember.

January 1976, as a young adult. My sister and I stayed at the Poly, and MK was the only park. Space Mountain was the hot new ride, but I’m afraid of big drops on roller coasters, and it took two or three days for my sister to convince me it was different. It became my favorite ride - until RnR came along!

My first time at the Magic Kingdom was last year… and it all started a chain of further returns! I rejected FREE Busch Gardens tickets just to return here this year.

Summer of 1980. I was six. Offly, the thing I remember most was being intrguued by the ticket books for the attractions and assessing as a child which rides would be best to pick for each category of attractions, lol.
