A brace from striker Simeon Jackson and a wonderful Erhun Oztumer free-kick saw the Saddlers race into a three-goal lead at the Banks's Stadium.
Wimbledon, who won promotion via the League Two play-offs last season, pulled a goal back in the closing stages when striker Lyle Taylor won and then converted a penalty.
The Dons – with their direct game plan – were a test for Jon Whitney's side throughout.
