I agree with all of you guys: it really is one of the last "magical" vacations. From the worry free transport, to the way you're treated by the CM's, sights, smells, attractions, lights, fireworks, music, EVERYTHING. It really is, simply, magical. It's all inclusive and "fun for the whole family". I get scoffed at by some of my peers at work for loving it. They laugh that I enjoy it and wonder why I "like the crowds, and standing in lines, and being hot and miserable." I try to explain to them that there are TONS of ways to avoid the crowds, lines and hot days, if they're willing to plan a little. They just don't get it. All the more "room" for us, tho, so to each his own. Let it be "our little secret(s)" that keep us coming back, again, again, and again.
Side note, we went last year: me, DW, DS6, DS8, MIL and Momma. I literally (don't laugh, dang it) cried a little our last night there, as we were leaving. Standing there in front of the train station at MK, as we're leaving, huggin' my wife, kids and momma: I teared up. HAHAHA. That's why I go back. No other vacation does that to me.
