Your first time - how old were you?

[HappyGal]

How old were you the first time you went to Disney and what year was it?

I was 9, it was 1976 and we went to The Magic Kingdom b/c that's all there was!

I was 1 year old the first time I went to Disney. It was in 1991. Obviously I don't really remember anything haha, but my mom always tells how scared I was of the characters until I was about 3 or 4 years old.

I was 5 and it was 1981.

My parents thought it would be just like Six Flags where you bought the tickets and then walked right in. They kept telling us that we weren't going into Disney World, but would just look at it from the parking lot. The entire walk from the car, to the ticket counter, and to the boat all 3 of us kids cried that we wanted to go to Disney World and not a stupid parking lot. My mom said that people kept looking at them like they were the worst parents ever, but they still didn't tell us. My mom said that even as we were walking in, we were still crying. It wasn't until we saw the castle that we finally stopped.

I had just turned 18 and moved with a friend to live on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale and help open a new restaurant/convention center for family friends -it was early 1972 and WDW had just opened. Everyone who came to visit us wanted to go to MK - too much fun!! I was hooked early on!

6 months old, in 1983...I think my parents were crazy to take me that young!!

1986-I was 4. But technically I was there before opening day (in egg and sperm form ) My dad built some parts of the Poly (he was a mechanical engineer and built some conveyor system), so my parents where there during construction and got to go to opening day.

Like HappyGal, it was 1976 for me as well and I was almost 9. We stayed at the Golf Resort, which is now Shades of Green.
