What a great thread! I have enjoyed reading all your replies. I have been away from the DIS for a bit because it bums me out that I am not at Disney or at least planning to be there! This morning I woke up with such a serious Disney "itch" though and I needed a dose of DISboards. This thread was perfect for me!
Anyway, like most have you have said, I have been fortunate enough to have MANY wonderful Disney memories. A lot of my best childhood memories are from times in Disney because growing up we weren't able to do a lot as a family. My dad was ALWAYS working, but trips to Florida were always that special time away from reality!
The trip that stands out in my mind, however, whenever I find myself Disney daydreaming is our "girls only" trip in November of 2008. It was my mom, my sister, my dd(2 at the time) and me. We stayed at the POLY for the first time and also had free dining for the first time. It was a PERFECT trip. We went to our first ever MVMCP which was absolutely magical, watched WISHES from the beach at the POLY, took our time to soak up all the magic, I could go on and on. Also, as an early Birthday present, my sister treated me to the Keys to the Kingdom tour. It was fantastic!! Although we feared being "behind the scenes" might take away some of the magic for us, it did the complete opposite! It really made us appreciate all the thought and planning that went in to designing and maintaining this amazing place! I often dream of being able to do that trip over and over again-except for the HORRENDOUSLY scary plane ride home, that is!
I can't wait to start planning our next vacation! Although, this time it will be for a family of 5 as we are expected our third child in September!!
