Age at your first trip

[HeatherK]

My first trip was June of 1993 when I was 5. I know we stayed on property because the bus driver from the resort and parks once made fun of me, very tramatizing. From the one picture we have of the room, it looks very wildern, like the bed posts are parts of trees if that makes any sense. Back then it was a cheaper resort and I don't know if they still have it now.

I do remember thinking me and my sister were special because we have our picture with Mickey in his "dressing room" which I have lately come to figure out that was the set back then (my bf has the same picture with mickey from a year before! ) I also remember watching fireworks in the pool, and when characters just walked around the park.

Then I went the day after Easter 2006 when I was 18 for one day at MK.

Then I did my CP in August 2007. Now I am going back at the end of Sept.

[The Disney Kid]

1999. I was 43. We stayed at the Polynesian. We are going for the 14th time, with the family, in October. I drive a truck so I get by for a day or two every few months. My kids are grown but it's still fun to call them from EPCOT and ask them where they would eat if they were there.

DL 1965 (4 years old) My mother still has some pictures of my brother and me.
WDW 1973 There were about 40 relatives. I still remember CMs allowing us in the Haunted Mansion even though we were out of tickets. It was late and we were the only ones around. We would get off the ride only to get back on it again. We thought we were breaking some record.

[Philo]

I was 22! DLP was my first ever Disney vacation and then WDW was a year after.

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

1992 - I was 35, DH was 36 and DD was 3. I looked at DH and asked, "Why did we wait until we had kids to come here?"

Planning my 6th trip for this December.....

 

[Green Lantern]

First trip was in 1989, I was 14. I started late, but man, have I sure made up for all those years I missed.

 

[PhilharMagician]

I was 24 Y/O on my first trip in October 1993. I specifically remember seeing TOT & WL under construction. We stayed at the Caribbean Beach resort for 8 nights. WDW was so much different back then. I remember waiting 90 minutes to get on 20K.

 

[JNL0508]

My first time was in April 1977 and I was 6 months old. My parents took me to Disney World. Ever since then, I've been hooked!!!

 

[Monty]

Took then DS5 when I was 41 in 2001. Greatest regret is that I hadn't gone sooner. :brick:

Though I've done my best to make up for it since!

Next WDW trip late August.

[Cynderella]

I *think* I was 7 so that was in 1990 and I remember it was in May and we all got really bad heat stroke and got sick and spent a good bit in the room sleeping. But I've been 30 times since then and I'm only 25

 

[Katybug]

I went to Disney World for the 1st time in 1992 when I was 6 years old!! I don't remember too much though, just bits and pieces.

 

[JustPlainBill]

It was February 1973 and was 7 years old, I was one month away from turning 8.
I was with my grandfather, visiting my uncle who was in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Tampa at the time, he had recently returned from Vietnam.
As a treat he brought me to the very young Magic Kingdom, which was WDW all by itself then. I never saw such a place before, it was one of the few highlights I experienced in my youth.

 

[Eyorefan]

The first time I went to WDW I was celebrating my 4th birthday so I think that was 1986?

 

[Missy Skywalker]

My first trip was when I was only around 6 months old- my parents were already hooked on Disney magic!

 

[a2grafix]

My first-ever trip to WDW was in 1977 when I was a precocious 6 and a half year old. My first trip to Disneyland in Anaheim was in 1999 when I was a few days short of my 29th birthday.
