My bad. Yes, stocks not gallows. If I knew how to paste a pic, I would put the on up here of me and my son. I'll figure it out.

Can't remember my exact age - early teens. MK was the only park - Epcot was being built at the time.

Our first trip was with our 10 year old and I was 48!!! Wow, pretty old for a first trip but I've made up for it since then with 11 trips in 12 years. When we got home from our last trip 2 weeks ago, I was telling my mom we got to ride POTC 3 times and Buzz Light Year 4 times and she said I sounded just like a little kid. Well, I feel like a little kid when I'm there!!! Love Disney!!!!

I'm another one who didn't go until I had my own kids (ages 15 & 11 then)! Our first trip was in 2000, which would make me 35 at the time.

I was 6mnths ols the first time I went to DISNEYLAND! I don't remember a thing about it. We have gone countless times since. I was 28 when I finally made it WDW. WE had our Honeymoon there in 1992. I'm sure it's changed alot since then. We're hoping to go to WDW next year!

I was 10 years old and went for one day with Dad who was down there for a conference. Now I have gone 3 times since I was 23 and I'm playing on 2 more trips this year...went in January on my first solo and it was FANTASTIC!

My first Trip to Disney World was when I was 4 (1985) The only thing I can really remeber is wanting to live with Figment!

My partents tell me stories! My fav is that I had a Jacket that had a patch with my name on it All the cast memebers would call me by my name and I was so amazed and couldn't figure out how they all knew my name! I still have the Jacket, its pretty cool

I went in 1986 as a 4 year old and had the exact same experience as you, minus the jacket. I wanted to live with Figment as well and it's obvious that first trip made me a Disney fan for life!

I was in 6th grade on my first trip. We stayed at the Contemporary and rode the monorail to the only park then (Magic Kingdom). It was the year before the opening of EPCOT and somehow my parents and I were able to go again the following year to see it. My memories of the Contemporary are just of the monorail and the giant arcade downstairs with the mega-pinball machine.

I was 5. It was on April Vacation 1988. I remember quite a bit from that trip but the most memorable thing was that I came down with the Chicken Pox half way through our vacation!! I think the fact that I had to stay back with my grandmother for the remainder of the trip has made Disney such a love and obsession for me.
