I was I think two when I first went, and we've gone every year since. Now it's about 2 to 3 times a year though!

I was 13 years old. I fell in love with WDW and have been back many times since. I am now in my 40's and I am still as much of a fan as I was back then...well, maybe even more!!

I was 3 and at the time they were filming muppets go to WDW and I am in it sorta. During one of the scenes where Fozie and his mother are talking in front of the steamboats if you look closely Im a little white dot being held up by a pink dot. I even have some footage of Jim Henson as we pass by on the boat

It was 1981 and I was 3. I don't remember it at all, but my mom says that when I first saw Winnie-the-Pooh I said "he's real!", and when I saw Donald Duck I said "Donald, I didn't know you were so delightful". I saw some old pictures from that trip recently; my dad looked really cool in his short shorts and knee-high blue socks. :)

I was 3 years old and it was 1980! We stayed at the Polynesian, wow a difference! There was only MK and Critter Country. I remember alot from that trip, I cherish it, we were with my grandparents, they're no longer with us. What wonderful memories.

I don't remember how old I was, but it was before MGM was built, because I can remember EPCOT Center being my favorite Park before I went on The Great Movie Ride.

1978. I was 2 1/2 yrs old. I still actually can remember some things like going on the haunted mansion. They were such vivid memories that I still have them from that young of an age.
