When you're at WDW, we always "make our memory"! DS and I will find something, look at it, hold hands, close our eyes and "make our memory" to help us get through til the next trip. When we're longing for WDW, are upset or sad, we can go back to our "memory" and be happy, even if it's for a moment. Sometimes, on the dreariest of days, I'll ask DS to recall our "memory" and describe it and how it came about/why we chose that particular place/thing to make our memory!

One trip, it was the castle at night w/the fireworks, another trip it was in the hotel pool, another trip, it was the Star Tours ride (as you walk through), another time, it was the sights/sounds of Space Mountain. Once, it was eating Mickey bars on the main street at MGM w/the hat in front of us. And so many other "memories" throughout the years.

Please tell me we're not the only ones who do this! Do you have a place where you always make your memory or do you vary it from year to year!?
 
I don't have any kids, so I don't do anything "official," but my sister and I always seem to have something from each trip (I travel to WDW with my sister more than anyone else) that holds a special significance. For example:

In January 2003, my brother, sister, and I took a special trip to WDW. After purchasing a churro in Frontierland, an igrit (or whatever those dirty birds are) dove for the churro and smashed right into my sister's head. She had to go to first aid and be checked for a concussion!

That memory held the magic for quite some time....

There's always something on each trip that we bring up to get excited for the next trip. Is it weird to use a bird smashing into someone's head as fodder for trip excitement? Maybe, but hey, every family's different :thumbsup2
 
I've done that too! If I couple the memory with music from the parks, it works even better. I bought the soundtracks for Illuminations and Wishes and between both-it takes me right back. Great for those days when you think it will be FOREVER before you get back to the parks.
