I did many during my first trip - the castle is the most magical thing to me in all WDW and seeing it for the first time was very emotional. It was even larger and prettier than I thought it would be. It's my fave Disney castle worldwide.
I had an early entry into the MK because of an ADR at 8:20 AM on November 10, 2009. This was my sight of Cindy's home while walking down Main Street that morning

This one leans a bit to the side (had my camera placed directly onto the ground) but I still like it:
Though not taken on the first day at MK, this sight is very similar to the one I experienced when I arrived at the castle stage for the very first time. It was taken just after 5 pm and the Dream Along With Mickey show just started. I was still overwhelmed because of the moment that I finally arrived at WDW and saw the castle for the first time when suddenly all the characters came out and did their stuff. I felt like a 5-year old boy at the moment when Mickey & the gang told about that dreams really do come true if you believe in them. My dream certainly did come true by seeing that castle:
On Nov. 10, I catched the first Castle Lighting Ceremony of the year, another thing that I hardly can put in words. It was too magical

: Now all together:
BIBBIDI...
...BOBBIDI...
...BOO!
One from the left side of the castle. I love all the details, the golden towers and stuff, the size... it's what makes it so beautiful:
Yes, real gold up there. Wow!
Can you tell I LOVE that building?
