How old were you when you first visited the Magic Kingdom?

First visit to WDW was i believe in 1979, so i would have been eight.
Remember very little about it, except the 'Mickey Mouse Revue'.
That was the major memory.
This was a Animatronic 'concert' featuring several classic Disney characters.

In April of 1983 i was twelve and came back with my Mom to visit the then-all new EPCOT Center.
Now THAT visit i totally remember...as it was a major life-changing experience.
BLOWN AWAY by what i saw, heard, and was exposed to.
My life was bettered in so many ways because of that.

2013 I was 29, basically only went to take my wife. Last year we took DD1 who was 1 1/2 and this year in October we are going back again and taking DD2 who will be 7 months.

I was 8 years old; first week of April 1975. I was enamored by everything...monorails, the two hotels (especially Poly), all the attractions. I made a return trip in 1979 with my Dad's new family. After thatit was 1990 before I returned with my DH and our first child. It has been about once a year since then, sometimes more often.

I was 37 when I 1st walked down Main Street . My husband had been to MK in the early 80's when he was 8 (I think) but we finally went together for our 10 year anniversary in Sept 2011. Too many magical memories to list. Loved it so much we have been back twice since then. If the flight wasn't so expensive I would try and go more than once every year and a half .

18 months old ... or so I'm told.

I was 15 in 1993.
Thought was an amazing place, was a bit of an amateur photographer at that age and have some amazing shots of the park and the parade.
Thought the monorail going through the comtemporary was awesome and how cool it would be to stay there.
Took a while but managed to do it in 2011

For me, I was 5. My most vivid memory that I've talked about here before was the monorail ride into the Magic Kingdom. I remember taking the monorail from the TTC to the Magic Kingdom. My parents couldn't afford to stay on campus in 1972. To this day, I get a lump in my throat when I feel the little bump on the track after going through The Contemporary.

For my husband, it was when he was 47 (if Disneyland Paris on our honeymoon when he was 43 doesn't count). His favorite memory was emerging from under the train station tunnel onto Main Street USA and seeing the Magic Kingdom right before his eyes.

26 and I didn't much like it. I went back again at 36 and fell in love with the place. Go figure.

 

[buttercup14]

12 and I have very few memories of it, except doing a school video project about my holiday while I was there, so somewhere there's video acting like a tour guide as we walked down main street!

 

[bethymouse]

1971 when it opened. I was 2. I can remember being scared to death of 20,000 leagues during the "octopus" scene! I was also scared of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Snow White's Scary Adventure!

I was 32. First memory was holding my infant daughter on my lap as the MK came into view.

 

[Goofyernmost]

I was 35. I think my kids were with me because I seem to remember having to pay for the meals for two tiny people, it must have been them. I was far more excited then they were. And it wasn't an anticipated excitement, I went because they wanted to go. Once I hit the property, I was there for me as much, if not more then, for them. In fact, I think that they were the ones that enjoyed my facial expressions more then the other way around. However, that said, kids take their cues from their parents, so I am relatively sure that they had a good time as well. It is quite contagious. Favorite thing... everything!

 

[Ben_since_1971]

I was 5 in 1971. I only remember the ballroom scene from the Haunted Mansion as the rest of it scared me too much so I buried my face in my father's knee. I remember 20,000 Leagues and thought it was so cool we went sooooooo deep in the submarine (imagine my disappointment when I learned the truth 14 years later in college!). I remember the Cleopatra doll in IASW winking at me. And I remember Big Al in the Country Bear Jamboree and the Jungle Cruise. And oh yeah we got to ride up front in the monorail.

 

[hth1917]

I was almost 2. My parents took me not long after the park opened, just before my second birthday in January 1972.
