I have been back a "few" times with my own children since.

Most others had up to a 2 hour wait, including, believe it or not, El Rio Del Tiempo!!!. The line stretched out of the pyramid and snaked over towards the Odyssey!!! Lines for ALL of the Epcot rides during it's first season were UNBELIEVABLE compared to today!!!) My first Disney/MGM ride: Great Movie Ride in 1990 My first Animal Kingdom ride: Kilamanjaro Safaris

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I was thinking the same thing. I think I probably went on the first ride or attraction I reached. It's hard to believe that I can't remember. But I can remember that I loved every minute of it. Well, except when I dropped my ice cream cone on the ground, but that is another story.
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, for me, my Mom and I took our time going down Main Street USA, and while we were doing that, we decided that starting with IaSW would be best, as Mom had heard about that being at the World's Fair when she was a teenager, and I liked the song. Little did she realize that 19 years later, she'd still occasionally give her baby girl a rough time for having picked that ride to be our first! lol
Originally Posted By CMDad Happily, as Labuda reminded us (thanks Ann!) this is not DL but WDW since I have no clue as to what my first Disney attraction was (I was in DL in 1968 and 1969), but no doubts about my first trip to WDW. It was December 25, 1971, and if we don't consider the monorail, it was the horsedrawn trolley down Main Street. Since visiting DL just as the HM first opened, we all fell in love with it ... and it still is my favorite to this day ... so that is where we were headed once we entered the MK for the first time. But since we had this "A" ticket anyway, and the trolley was there waiting, we hopped aboard and headed to the hub. From there we went directly to the HM. My last WDW attraction - Expedition Everest after which we headed to Raglan Road for lunch before heading home. ;-)

His cousin worked at the Wilderness Lodge and had access to free MGM tickets. I was hooked immediatley. I've returned to WDW every year since. It's kinda like going home each year.

Originally Posted By pitapan16 Lol, oh man...I remember my first ride at WDW's MGM was the newly opened Tower of Terror which at that time really instilled a fear/mystery inside me at that park as a young kid because I knew I had to go on it. I'd love it right after it was over, but during the ride I was just mesmorized, a great feeling! But anywho, the Tower was my first MGM ride in 94, I think Epcot was my first park and Spaceship Earth was my first ride at that park which I loved, and at Magic Kingdom they were building and re-doing the new tommorowland but we all got a glimpse on my first ride at MK which was on the Transit Authority.
