"My First Trip to Disneyland"

I love going to the happiest place on earth,
But my favorite time there was my first.
Though I've been there many times,
The first time was very prime.
I was three and I could stay all day,
After all, it was Mickey Mouse's birthday.
It was closed off to the public, only VIP's allowed,
I knew someone who worked there, so there was no crowd.

Through birthdays there and more times that were fun,
My first time was the best one.
The time I pulled on Pluto's tail or crying hysterically when the big bad wolf came out,
Through all those times, only one stands out.
Although I was three, 
I can still remember the feel of Splash Mountain's water brushing
Through my hair, positively.
I can still taste those mouth watering pretzels shaped like Mickey mouse,
Or the falling right asleep right in the car while driving out of the 
Parking lot, not even close to my house.
The music, the parades, and great stuff to eat,
Or me dancing to the music like an idiot down Main Street.
So I loved going to happiest place on earth,
But my favorite time was there was my first.
