If you can swing it , money is not a problem, the guy is okay with it and you are close to disney land, then why not! - Sounds like blast! If we lived close to disney land, perhaps we would have done it too. I was 31 when my husband and I met and he was 44. Our first date consisted of dinner at and Indian food restaurant followed by games at Dave & Busters. It was proably the most fun I have ever had on a first date. Don't listen to those who make fun of you. My husband and I are not retards, as suggested by one of the earlier postings. We are both intelligent adults with good jobs who like to go out and have fun and act like a couple of goofy kids sometimes. In fact every year on the anniversary of our first date, we have dinner at the same restaurant and follow it up with a night of games at D&B. You only get one chance at a first date someone so why not make it a memorable one.If the relationship lasts, then you have a wonderful fun memory of your first date that you two will always share. If it doesn't last, then at least you got a fun day out of it. Either way, sounds like a win-win to me. Don't listen to the family and friends. This is your first date, not theirs, so do what you and your potential want to do, not what the fam and friends thinks is cool. Buy some Mickey Ears and have fun!
Note: Since this is your idea and Disneyland is proably pretty pricy, I do hope you plan on paying your own way. The downside of this idea is that it is a lot of money to spend on a first date and you don't want to stick him with a huge bill just because you had your heart set on this. Talk to him and see what he thinks. If he seems hesitant, you may want to consider something a little more low key and less expensive (I don't know what your's or his money situation is like) There are still plenty of fun options out there to look into that won't cost you or him an arm and a leg - D&B was a good one for us - you just have to do some research and explore your options.. The expense would be my only problem with this idea. As far as it being childish, well yeah maybe it is, but that is part of the fun of it!

Ok. Let's say money is not an object to you. Your answer is NO! This is who you are. If your desire is to go to disneyland, then that is what your personality desires. I would personally love to go to disneyland with someone special and I'm 17. Well, still young, but not a child any more. But I admit, I can act childish at times, but that's only because I'm a really fun, energetic guy. In fact, if your boyfriend says he thinks you're too childish, maybe he's not right for you. I can see how money or time restraints can be an issue, but Disneyland is fun, BAR NONE! lol (it rhymes) I do admit though, that Disneyland is a little far out for a FIRST date. JEEZ!

I just checked and it costs $63 to get into the park. Even at the lowest possible price of the date (63) for him, I think that is a lot of money to spend on a first date. He may feel obligated to pay for you (although he shouldn't), that would bring the price to 126, not to mention a meal or a soda which you inevitably buy, sometimes more than once.
This is a lot to ask for. You should wait to go there, when you know you that you are comfortable with each other and like each other.
Don't be so over the top. Just go out to dinner or coffee like everyone else does. You don't need all that distraction. Everyone expects a little bit of nerves on the first date.

Disneyland is so wonderful and it is a place for young and old alike. Everyone loves disneyland!!! I think it is a wonderful idea to suggest that place for a first date. Your family and friends are wrong to make fun of you and call you names...BUT...here is the thing...Disneyland is not cheap to get into. Two tickets probably would cost around sixty bucks...plus, there is food, drinks etc...so maybe from a money standpoint if you are not sure he can afford it...put that off for a while OR, offer to pay some of it. Maybe say, would you like to go to Disneyland...and before you answer if you think it is too much money...but would like to go and spend the day...so would I, so why dont I pay for some of it, then we can go and have a great time?

going to Disneyland sounds awesome... I'm 17 and I still love Disneyland as much as any kid. However Disneyland is very expensive now so you cannot expect your date to pay for everything.... that would mean at least a $300 day for a first date ($63 a piece for tickets, plus $11 for parking and the rest for food/drinks and anything else you want to buy). Hope you have fun though :)

first of all, isn't disneyland expensive? i've never been there so i honestly don't know.
that said, try something simpler, like coffee or lunch or something. it won't be as much fun (i understand how that would help!), but it will be more one-on-one. a big group setting isn't necessarily a good way to get to know how someone will be around you. and if you do need the group setting, maybe find a good club and get out on a crowded dancefloor. at least then you'll be able to tell if the person in question is a good dancer (which might come in handy later on).
either way, good luck, and i hope it works out!

I think its a great idea. By going to Disneyland it will show you if your person is out going, do they do the scary things, are they in touch with there inner child, by loving to go on the merry go round. It will also show if you can stand hanging out with that person for an extended period of time. You will have lots of time to talk standing in lines and this will test there patience. Also its something not normally done so that shows that you wont be bord with this person.

selfish...no. High maintenance....maybe. Do you live around the corner from Disneyland? Are you gonna bring sandwiches? Disneyland is a mega-expensive option for a FIRST date, I think you may look demanding. What ever happened to a coffee date?

If it's with someone you've known for a long time and been friends with, I think it's great. But if it's a guy you've just began dating, it's too extreme. It's your first date and it might be a dud, and it will be pretty hard to get out of the date. Also, it might look like you're trying way too hard to impress the guy. Your first date should be something simple, like going to dinner or out to coffee, where you guys can get to know each other.

Well, as long as your date is totally comfortable going there, it is fine. What's most impotant is that both of you have fun and be comfortable. Give it a shot and hope for the best. Good luck and take care.
