[Tinkbellfan]

So many choices: but it's truely not a WDW vacation without actual contact with the main Mouse. AK camp Mickey & Minnie is usually the easiest place to do this other than a character meal.

Also - that "feeling' we all get when we walk under the Main Street RR station and see the castle. (Even when it's really crowded, just stop and look!)

A waiting for a parade or fireworks.

A purist at heart, or just really easy to please?
