It was July 4th 1976. I was only 5 but remember it very, very well. I remember the whole park decked out for the Bicentennial. My very first attraction was Dumbo. I also remember the Hall of Presidents and Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought the animatronics were real. Funny how I can remember my first Disney experience like it was yesterday, but I have no real recolection of my first day of kindergarten 2 months later.

Yep! Dumbo.:lol:
My first EPCOT one was SSE, though.
I remember being enthralled...and asking to get BACK on several times after.

Yup, SSE was my first EPCOT CENTER attraction, I had my Gramps on that ride 3 times in a row (keep in mind 87'), the good old days :wave:

I honestly cant remember. Like a few here I was a little over a year old when I first went. I remember when I was around 3 years old not liking many of the rides but falling in love with IASW. I remember torturing everyone else by making them ride it with me over and over because literally every other ride scared me lol.

The one I recall is Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I was about 6 years old and I can remember how scared I was of this when I rode it..When the Car went through the Fire place in Toad hall I covered my eyes through the rest of the ride and just noises and it startled me.

Grad-night (so long ago that WDW only had one park). I knew absolutely nothing about Disney World back then and I went on IASM. I remember thinking how strange and surreal it was to have a bunch of dolls dancing to the same tune from room to room. I've calmed down since then.

I don't remember my first, I was six months old at the time. My dad, however, likes to tell me how they brought me on the Haunted Mansion, thinking I was so young I wouldn't even know I "should" be scared. They were new parents, obviously. I screamed through the whole thing, according to the story.
My earliest memory from WDW is IASW. I rode it over and over. I also remember being pretty scared of the "going to hell" part of Mr. Toad.

I remember the date, Nov. 5, 1984, and since I had my four year old son, the first ride we went on was It's a Small World. I can't believe it's been almost 25 years.

The very first ride I recall being on was Flight to the Moon. Also recall 20,0000 Leagues, cable cars and Mr. Toad.
Then the next time I was there they had just closed 20,000 Leagues. I was there with my kids and told how amazing Mr. Toad was and when we got off the ride they just rolled their eyes at me. I have to admit I still enjoyed the ride but it wasn't nearly as scary as I recalled it being.

Similar to Dave1105, I was first there in the mid-70's, eight years old or so, and don't remember which one we did first, but do recall 20,000 Leagues and Mr. Toad as highlights. Also recall watching the fireworks over the MK as we left that night on the ferry headed back to the parking lot. Never rode the monorail until I went back in 93 with my wife. I can recall that rather vividly though.

Pirates of the Caribbean, 1979, I was 5 years old. Still to this day the first ride we go on at the MK.
