My first Disney (parks) is from when I was about 6. I remember being in one of the shops on Main Street and my sister and I were picking out princess dresses. (All little girls need one!) She was telling me I couldn't be Belle because my hair was too dark and I retaliated with, "At least I can read chapter books!" (Oh yeah, six year old me had some real sass...) Needless to say, I got to be Belle and she was stuck being Ariel. HAHAHA!

I'm betting #1 will be seeing the castle in the MK for the first time

It's embarrassing now but I don't think I opened my eyes (my parents forced me to ride) during HM until I was 13 or 14!

I was 3 years old on my first trip in 1990. I remember waiting for Kitchen Kabaret and a bit of the show. I also remember Figment and dragging my Figment hand puppet on the ground as I was strolled in my stroller.

I always went on it but was deathly (hehe) afraid. And I didn't open my eyes until I was 22! Now it's one of my absolute favorites.

Took my 5 yr old on it. He wanted to ride it but after he said he doesn't want to ride it again until he is bigger. He will be 6 next time we go and he says he wants to ride it again but we will se if he actually does

I remember being 8 and spending 50 minutes in the line for space mountain.when we got to the point of getting on; all I could remember was the riders screams and how dark it was.needless to say I chickened out. Luckily we went back at 10 years old, and I was able to ride it. Now I have to convince my 10 year old who wouldn't even get in line when he was 8 in 2012. 38 days to go and I scheduled him a fastpass +,so we will see how this plays out

That makes me sad too (though I understand why with the accidents). Riding in the front of the monorail was not my first Disney memory but it was one of the best!!Riding at the front of the monorail with the driver to the Magic Kingdom!
I am lucky enough to say I have ridden in the front because sadly they no longer allow it

Standing outside the MK before opening in 1983 as a kid, and getting the autographs of Pooh and Tigger. Freaking awesome.
My 5th birthday at Disneyland. I was so excited I couldn't sleep the night before. Riding the Nautilus - the newest ride (yes, I just dated myself) at the park with my dad. I remember some type of pirates ride. Trying to make my mother sick spinning the cup at the Tea Party. The train station and the flowers.
And getting my FIRST PAIR OF EARS and wearing them to school.

I had the same experience with my daughter our first trip and that was our first ride - she was 9. She begged to do Space Mountain (the version at DL is two person car, so I thought it would be okay), so we waited in line for an hour in the hot August sun to get on. Imagine my surprise to find the cars are single rider... She screamed as soon as the ride started that she was going to fall out, screamed the ENTIRE ride and I couldn't get her on any ride that left the ground for the rest of the day, not even Dumbo. So we did the people mover, the carousel, Tea Party, called it a day and went back to our resort. She saw the pool and was happy as a clam. And didn't go back for 14 years.... She still doesn't like Space Mountain and won't do it anymore.
Especially fun if there's a full moon. We love BTMRR at night.
