I was 12, in 1992. My first trip to Disneyland, however, was in utero some time in mid-1979.

I was 6 and we stayed in the Tree House Villas there on the property in 1978. I wish they were still available to use.

I was 31 (2001) at Easter. DD was almost 4 and DS was almost 2. What a great trip. Stayed off property for a few days then on property at POFQ for the rest. Did all 4 parks plus DTD. Man, was it ever hard to leave.

I was 3, I think, for my first trip to Disneyland.

I was 8 for my first trip to WDW in 1989.

I was 12 when we went to Disneyland. I was 29 when I first stepped foot in the Magic Kingdom this past January. I went to MK for my 30th b-day and it was awesome!! My goal is to bring my whole family for their first time in 2008.

I was 3 in 1988, but I mainly remember my trip back in 1993 when I was 8
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

My first time was in 1991 when I was just shy of 9 years old. For that visit and the next few vacations, we just went to the Magic Kingdom. I didn't go to Epcot for the first time until 2000, and didn't see the Studios until 2002, and didn't go to DAK until 2003! I was so ga-ga for the Magic Kingdom that even though I had opportunities to see more parks after a certain point, I just didn't.

I was 26 (it was last month!!). I took my wife and we had an amazing time - it was her first in the US. I had been to Florida in 1997 but missed WDW. Previously (1992 I think) I went to Disneyland and caught the Disney bug - can't wait to return!

The first time I went to WDW I was 9. I had my picture taken with almost every character. My favorite was Snow White. I went again two years later when I was 11. It was still fun. The last time was last year in may (2006). It had changed quite a bit, but it was still exciting for me. I think that WDW brings out the kid in you, whether you are 9 or 90. :mickey:

I was 30. I had been to DL many, many times throughout my childhood. DH and I had been married a couple of years and we met my parents, sister and family, grandmother, and great-aunt - who all drove down from Oklahoma. (We flew.) We wish now that we had been able to do some research back then because it was not a very well-planned trip. ::)
