Close Your Eyes And Blink Yourself to WDW.....Where would you Be?

[WhispyPixie]

Close Your Eyes and....
Click your feet together and blink yourself ANYWHERE on
Walt Disney World property.....

Where would you be when you open your eyes ??????

[barbeml]

Strolling through World Showcase! It won't be long now...

[jkovick]

Standing at the end of Main ST. facing the Castle at MK. That's when the magic really hits me.:)

[Goofmeister]

The Wishing well at the MK. Its usually quiet, and the castle is there.

[Pirate Mickey]

I'd be a the Pirates of the Caribbean of course!!!!

[jerseydizdreamer]

I don't know why, but for some reason the second I read this and closed my eyes, I imagined myself in the Animal Kingdom’s Oasis. I wouldn't have expected that at all. I would have guessed "In front of the fountain at Epcot" or perhaps "watching Wishes for the first time." But no, it was The Oasis. Guess I'm looking for a little peace and quiet among the foiliage!

.. sitting in the Italy pavillion with a glass of chianti, listening to Sarah Brightman and Andreas Bocceli (sp?) singing " Time to say Goodbye"... I'm almost in tears thinking about it!

Mike:teeth:

[zahi]

Infront of Mission : Space at EPCOT ! I can see myself awe-stuck and amazed...

[Pooh67_68]

Just strolling through MGM. :teeth:

Standing in front of the doors at the Haunted Mansion, then the doors slowly start to open!

[PhotobearSam]

Walking towards Spaceship Earth...

It's never a vacation till I see the BALL!!! Don't know why but I love that thing soooooo much. I take lots of pics of it each trip and walking up to it just stays with me...


P.S. when I can't sleep, I imagine the walk to it from the parking lot and it usually get me to sleep peacefully...:earsgirl:

[jazyjewel]

Well, I closed my eyes and the first thing I saw was from the Magic Carpets!!! So, I guess that's where I'd be :)

[TLinden16]

Jellyrolls!!!!!:jumping1:

[Lewski709]

I would be at The Lunching Pad eating a big honkin' Smoked Turkey Leg with salt. Oh, so tender an' juicy. My chops are ready! Finished by a terrific beer or glass of red wine. Sheers!
or shall I say Cheers!!!!:tilt:

I should have gone to the F&WF.

[WDWAurora]

I'd be on Tower of Terror!!!

[tigger&tigerlover]

I'd be in the middle of Main Street, looking up at the castle, watching Wishes, with my eyes full of tears. :)

That was an awesome show, and one that DH and I want to go back and see as soon as we can arrange it.

[zakatak]

Boma! yum. :p (with a FP for TOT in hand for when I am done eating!) :Pinkbounc

[dan-tot]

I would find myself in the nose of the monorail approaching the A-Frame at Dusk with it all lit up.

Its funny, just like everyone else when I closed my eyes a totally different scene appeared than what I expected - I felt myself rising and falling on Dumbo - I haven't been on it in years and years, but that must be what I associate with going to MK and the joy it must have brought me as a child.

I would have guessed that for me it would have been PI drinking a Great White, but I guess I am still a kid at heart.

By the way, I am taking my DS on Dumbo for his first time this February so I can't wait to do it again with him and see his eyes light up with joy :lovestruc

[jiggerj]

Cool thread! I surprised myself too that when I closed my eyes I was somewhere I didn't expect to be too! I was walking thru the train station just getting ready to enter Main St. I guess thats right where the excitement builds for me because I just know that any second I am going to look down Main St. and see the castle and be totally happy.

(1) Along the fence at World Showcase Plaza, with Illuminations starting in 5 minutes

(2) Sitting on the beach at the Polynesian, waiting for fireworks and EWP.

Epcot/WS/Japan eating a cherry Kaki Gori, YUUUMMM!!! :crazy:

[gypsydoodlebug]

IN front of the troup of silverback gorillas at Animal Kingdom! Although not everyone's favorite park, it's mine!

[DisneyObsessed]

One eye is watching Illuminations and the other eye is standing on Main St looking at the castle.

[shelleyz]

When I closed my eyes first thing I pictured was the carousel. That was our first ride on our first trip October 19th.

[Kaycee]

At the end of Main Street, by the train station, facing Cinderella's castle...there's nothing like that feeling when you realize, "I'm really here!"

[meiandrew]

Great question/thread !!!!

We are sitting at one of the tables outside Mexico eating tacos and churros, waiting for "Illuminations" to start.... staring at the flower pot with those great red flowers !!!!

2 MORE WEEKS !!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[maci]

Sitting inside Mickeys Philharmagic watching my kids reach out to "touch" that WONDERFUL show!:lovestruc

[Zippa D Doodah]

Just behind tthe castle, looking toward the carrousel

[sherry8253]

My DH said he would be sitting on the monorail (he didn't know where it was headed but he was on it). I would be sitting on the balcony of my room watching a giraffe at the AKL.

[glewis1123]

It would be evening - just before park closing.

I'd have a cup of butter pecan ice cream from main street and I'd walk around the corner and be sitting at one of the tables with my feet up watching the castle change colors. I'd just be in total awe thinking it just doesn't get any better than this.

[ugadog99]

EPCOT getting ready to see IllumiNations!:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: !

[Obsessed w/Disney in OH]

No doubt about it...

I'd be walking down Main Street looking at the castle straight ahead, seeing the dew on everything in the early morning light--yep, that's what I see! :sunny: :sunny:

18 more days!!!!!!:jumping1:

[dahirsh]

At Epcot, after dark, watching the fountain do it's thing.

[jann1033]

husband is in France watching the movie....I am getting a cup of tea at the cart by Rose and Crown (if it's still there I hope) looking for a nice spot for illuminations and feeling the warm breeze....maybe he'll bring me a treat from the french bakery to have with my tea!

[jimmytammy]

Watching Illuminations while eating those yummy hot glazed pecans

[HolidayRose]

I'd be on Buzz Lightyear racking up the points.

[ASFCurly]

I closed my eyes and I was in Epcot, walking towards Mission Space, then all of a sudden I was in MK on main street heading towards the castle and Mickey's Philharmagic, then I was wandering around MGM all of the sudden, then I was in DAK heading for the tree of life.

Apparently I couldn't pick just one place:p

[jmcross]

I'd be getting on the Rock N Roller Coaster. Awesome!

[DemonLlama]

It's early morning, and I'm standing at the bridge by Splash Mountain, feeling the cold mist of water (we're always there in December, when it's cool) and anticipating the Song of the South soundtrack before we walk through the line with no wait (early morning December, remember?:0)

[Disneyland_emily]

Either in line for Coaster or Tarzan Rocks :)


is it May YET??

[da disney fans]

Drifting through the water in Splash Mountain, with the anticipation of the upcoming drop making me antsy. :hyper:

[WhispyPixie]

WoW, what cool answers everyone!! It is so neat to see how WDW impacts people in different ways. One thing that does seem to be a common thread is the magical excitement that we all have when we open our eyes after closing them.

I got the idea of posing this question after this past weekend when I took my 3 youngest children to see a live play of the Wizard of Oz. The 5 year old leaned over in the middle of it and said.."Mommy lets close our eyes and click our heels and we cna be at Disney NOW!!" (we are doing the single digit dance as I type this. It got me thinking, if we could where would we all end up....

Here are my kids responses...

5 year old precocious DD -"I would be hugging Cinderella in the Castle" (said with the most forlorn look of anticipation, she has NO IDEA we have a breakfast booked)

12 year old extremely analytical DD - "I would be in Japan watching the little kids do acrobatics and hope I have enough $ to pick a pearl and make a necklace this trip..Mom do you have any chores I can do to earn money in the next 9 days..oh yeah can I babysit..can I??? PLEASE?????" (said in one extremely long run on sentence, what can I say, she never hushes)

12 year old party in a box DS - "I would be eating a huge hamburger and drinking a large chocolate shake with fries at the Sci-Fi, screaming with everyone when the guy throws that spear" (this one eats, sleeps, walks & then dreams somemore about eating!!!! must be his age)

17 year old "I'm graduating in May " DS - "I would be on Buzz Lightyear, trying to hit that dumb dot on the wall that can get you all those points and trying to beat Dad's score! This is MY TRIP to beat him" (He and his Dad love to compete, but secretly ask this kid what his favorite meal is and he will say Cinderella's Royal table, he says its the stuffed french toast, but we all know it is the "hot princesses", I am telling his gf..:Pinkbounc )

Thank for playing this little game, I am having a blast reading some of yours! Hope you enjoy it as well!

[ebhurleys]

I guess because I have not been on it in so long. I miss the carousel of progress. Sorry for any typos but my eyes are still closed. I don't want to come home from this trip just yet.

[popeyeohoh]

I'm like many other posters. Entering MK, walking up Main St. and seeing the castle. It means we are really here. So many emotions, joy, aniticipation, and togetherness. Such an overwhelming feeling.

[scrump]

Though we love everything about WDW, we probably feel that we've "arrived" when we see the castle, especially from the end of main street.

[corky805]

Watching my son meet Buzz, Woody and Jessie at MGM!!

Thanks for the reminder of a great memory!!:D

[photobob]

I'd have to say driving onto the property and seeing all those welcome to Disney signs.
