Age 9, my Dad payed me $10 to get over my fear and go on TOT on our first ever day in Disney. Since then MGM has become the park we always do first and Tower of Terror the first ride every trip....

...Although we now head over to TSMM first to get a fastpass now. :p

I was 10 - I couldn't wait to ride space mountain....we made our way to it......and it was closed for refurb...talk about disappointing a 10 year old. We rode "With Skies & Wings" instead (I think that is what it was called & I think it was where buzz lightyear is now) - delta airlines was the sponsor - then the TTA (which was open) the one bonus I got to see SM with the lights on.....just made me want to ride it more...I rode the TTA over & over and each day hoped SM would be open when we went in for our 5 day trip......had to wait 8 years to do it from that point.

I have no idea. I was around 2. I do remember the Enchanted Tiki Room though from a trip when I was a little older. The first ride/show I did as an adult was the old Lion King show in MK. We were on our honeymoon. I made sure that was the first thing we did since we both love that movie.

Christmas, 1974, Disneyland, I was 18 months old. We have 8mm film of the experience. My first ride was Snow White. In the footage, my mother is carrying me as she exits the ride, I am crying. My mother walks up to the camera and says, "He hated it."

My mom told me the first ride I rode on when I was a child was SWSA at DLR. When I was a toddler, DLR was basically a day care center for me. My mom use to take me there all the time when I was a baby.

I remember asking my father this years ago, and he said the first one was when I was 4 in 1976 and the ride was Pirates.
I've been so many times as I was growing up (at least twice a year from 1976-1985, then once in 1989, once in 1999, once in 2000 and once in 2009) that I couldn't even tell you what the first ride I remember was. My favorites were always Pirates and Haunted Mansion. Those are still my favorite rides in the MK, but ToT is now my favorite in WDW, and Space Mountain in CA is my favorite in any Disney park (only been to WDW and DLR).

1992, but I remember as if it were yesterday. We got to Magic Kingdom early in the morning and headed straight to Fantasyland. The first ride we went on was Its a Small World. There was no line at all, and after we went around once they let us stay on the boat and ride it again.

My first Disney ride was at the 1964 New York World's Fair -- It's a Small World, presented at the time by Pepsi.
On my first trip to WDW, I had a four year old with me, first ride -- It's a Small World. Never realized the coincidence until I saw this question.
