Just wondering what was everyone's first ride or attraction you did the first time you went to WDW? Mine was "It's A Small World" in April of 2001 at the young age of 26.

Our first ride on our first trip to WDW (May 2000) was the Winnie the Pooh ride. It was new at the time and there wasn't a fastpass, so we planned for it to be our first stop. We were at the park at opening and waiting for the rope to drop, so when it did we made a fast dash to Winnie the Pooh. When we arrived, we were 2nd in line and so we got right on. Imagine our surprise when our honey pot car came into view and Piglet was on it! Piglet rode with us, and when the ride was over, we headed to a meet and greet spot together. It almost had us in tears watching Piglet walk hand in hand with my 2 year old and 5 year old. The CM with Piglet gave us some extra time with him for pictures and Pooh was even at the meet and greet spot. One of my favorite pictures of my 2 year old was taken then. He's just staring at Pooh with this awe in his eyes :drevil:
Of course it was hard to explain to them that the characters would not be on every ride with us after that.

Jungle Cruise
I remember this one well. Unless we are counting the monorail as a ride, my first WDW ride was Jungle Cruise back in May 1997.

Mine was the Jungle Cruise as well, in July 1990, at 11 years old. Really wonderful way to start, since the Cruise is one of the timeless classics.

My first trip was when I was four, so I don't remember what my exact first ride was, but I know what one of my firsts was: It's a small world. My parents said I kicked and screamed in the line, saying that I didn't want to go on such a dark and scary ride, but they dragged me on anyway.....after that I loved it and it was all I wanted to go on. (too bad for my parents!)

I'd say it has much to do with the fact that many Guests start WDW visiting the Magic Kingdom, and most will follow the clockwise pattern.
Now, ain't that funny? People will start clockwise, from left to right, even though it is said people tend to walk on the right side of the way. Theoretically, that's why you'll find food on your right side when entering Main Street, and shops on your right side when you're exiting.

My first trip to WDW was in 1988 when I was 4, I remember my first attraction was IASW and I loved it but more importantly as soon as I walked through the gates of MK Goofy was on the other side of the train station. We had gotten a stroller (I was playing around with it putting it in the recline position when i was laying back i looked up and goofy was standing over me. I was so thrilled to see him I didnt know what to do

Pirates of the Carribbean -- 1982. It was always the first ride we would go on when my family would go to the parks. Since I've been married, our first ride is always Splash Mountain.

Actually now that I think of it that is true. Except I always go to Tomorrowland for i find it less crowded. Now i know why lol. I go to the right instead of the left. does that go along with how the left line is always shorter?
