We've been back for a week now and I'm going through withdrawal! What Magical Moments have you had at Disney that could be recreated by others? I'm not looking for Magical Moments created by CMs or others. But moments that others might be able to experience if they tried them.

I'll start:

1) My all time favorite Magical Moment was at Cinderella's Royal Table. We were there while the fireworks were going off. It was amazing!! My whole family loved it as well as everyone else!! They had the music piped in and everyone was clapping at the end. Had to hold back the tears on that one!!

2) We watched Illuminations towards the back of Epcot. Between Italy and America. The walk to the exit was wonderful. It was quiet with few people and wonderful views!! It was just one of those moments!!

3) BBB. We had a great experience getting our girls all done up. We got the cheapest package and brought their own dresses. They were just dolls, and ate the whole experience up!! My hubby asked if we could get it done again. Obviously, he has no idea what planning goes into getting two appointments at BBB in the Castle!! LOL!

my husband and I took the time to spend one on one time with our daughters this trip. He took my 10 year old to Star Wars weekend while I took our 4 year old to playhouse Disney things. It was quality time I will never forget. The last day, I took our 10 year old and shut down the park. We rode Dumbo while Wishes was going on and rode space mountain 4 times. We even raced to end of the line to be sure to ride it last. My husband took the 4 year old back to the resort for a night swim. We will be sure to split up going forward. They were fantastic memories.
 
I'll add to the wishes trend--riding Astro Orbiter during Wishes. We didn't plan it, but realized we would be on the ride when the fireworks started! Got to see Tink and everything--great view being up high!

Jungle Cruise at night. It's some how so much different.
Fireworks, any of them, from the monorails
 
My dad and I decided to go on Star Tours for one last ride before leaving the park. It was pouring out, the park was empty at that point (chilly, wet, and rainy), we were soaked, but gosh darnit, we wanted to go on Star Tours!

The CM who loaded us into our ride vehicle was incredibly pleasant and super sweet. My dad and I got a speeder all to ourselves, with a scene and character we hadn't had yet. I was chosen to be the Rebel Spy. Being the big Star Wars nerds we are, it was truly just a magical experience for the both of us.

We also had an unforgettable meet with Buzz Lightyear that same trip. Nothing can ever compare to those memories.

Oooo, we caught glimpses og MK fireworks going from Poly to MK. Now if the monorail would have stopped to let us watch them that would have been Magical! LOL! Still it was pretty neat!
 
The rest of our family was really tired. My 10 yo son and I wanted to see Osbourne Lights one more time. We went before closing. We loved it. It started fake snowing and the lights were going on and off to the music. It was nice to spend some alone time with my middle child. He can get a little overwhelmed with younger sister and older brother.

Every night walking back from Epcot to the Beach Club/Boardwalk area. Lights twinkling off the Lagoon. Us happy after another amazing day together!

All the firework shows!

Sitting at Garden Grill for dinner. Goofy knew my 13 yo son didn't want pic with him... so... Goofy sits down at the table with my son and hugs him... jokes around with him. Priceless picture!
 
On our first trip, DS was 2, almost 3. He was (and still is) a huge Toy Story fan and absolutely loves Woody. Early in the trip, I had taken him to meet Woody and Jessie in MK while DD rode Splash with DH. A couple of days later, we met Woody with Buzz at DHS. DS was dressed as Woody that day. Each of my kids had an autograph book for the characters to sign. Woody reached for DS's autograph book, but I told him he had already signed it when we met him earlier in the trip. Woody then gestured that he'd like to sign DS's hat. They ended up spending a lot of time together, lots of hugs and Woody saying "I love you" with hand gestures a few times. It meant the world to DS. He keeps the hat in a special place, and took it back on our trip last year to be signed again, which he plans to do on every trip. He keeps this picture in a frame on his night stand, as it's one of his most cherished memories.

We just got back from a 10 day trip, we had a fantastic time! One of the most magical moments I've ever had was on the first night of our trip. We were leaving Whispering Canyon and needed to get back to the Boardwalk. We just missed the boat to the Magic Kingdom and since it was chilly decided to take the boat to the Contemporary and walk to the Magic Kingdom buses from there. It was just us and one other couple on the boat. My husband and I sat close together in the back of the boat with out 4 and 7 year olds on our laps. We got on the boat just as Wishes started and the captain slowed the boat way down and serenaded us with When You Wish Upon A Star and Can You Feel The Love Tonight. He had an amazing voice and just being snuggled with my family on our first night was just an awesome moment. Thinking about it now makes me a bit misty-eyed.
