Please help me with my disney countdown chain... your disney moments

[Micheme]

My dd and I are making a Disney countdown chain for our upcoming nov trip and need some disney help.

We are writing little disney memories, likes, wants, etc on every day of the chain and are getting a little stumped. Anyone want to share their disney memories to help me get inspired.

For example
Mommy can't wait to have a Dole Whip
DD can't wait to ride Dumbo
Daddy can't wait to eat at Le Cellier
Gammie (grandma) can't wait to see the castle.

You get the idea, so if anyone feels like sharing to get us inspired for 95 DAYS of chains i would appreciate it.

Thanks

hows about:
Cant wait to take a pic with Mickey Mouse

Cant wait to meet Jojo and Goliath

Cant Wait to See the Fireworks

Cant wait to see that Capt. Jack Animitronic (Maybe that one is a little more for mommy than baby)

Cant wait to try the swimming pool

Cant wait to walk down main street

Cant wait to hear the corny jokes on Jungle Cruise

Cant wait to try and find as many Hidden Mickeys as possible.

If you mention your other activities I could think of more.... (can you tell I'm excited for my trip coming up next month?)

I can't wait to:
hear the train whistle as it approaches Main Street Station
eat an apple dipped in both carmel and chocolate
float around a lazy river
see the view from California Grill
sing along to the background music everywhere (Oh ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is uh comin' down the street...)
watch the funny film clips at Sci Fi Dine In
walk slowly out around World Showcase Lagoon as Epcot is closing (so serene)
Say thanks to Walt at the statue in the hub at MK

I can't wait to hear a Friendship Boat horn either at Crescent Lake or World Showcase.

I can't wait to see *fill in your favorite entertainment* at World Showcase (I'd say Off Kilter but I am biased).

I can't wait to taste a Disney World soft pretzel (best ones are outside Test Track and at MGM).

I can't wait to hear the oohs and aahs at the conclusion to Illuminations.

I can't wait to pick out a new antenna ball for our new used car.

Awesome guys, those are great. It is hard when you sit down and try and think of things like this for a specific project, but funny how they enter your thoughts at Disney all the time.

I also put in little puzzles for the kids to solve. That is if your children are old enough to do this sort of thing. Things like
I am small! I am pink! My best friend is a silly old bear! Who am I?

We will go to the woods up and down in a hunny pot What ride?

magic kingdom Tinkerbell

What character do you most want to see?

What ride do you most want to ride?

Hope this helps!!

We are going in December and I was just talking to my kids at dinner and asking them how we should do our count down. I think I may do this. I can think of many things that we can't wait for.
I can't wait until we eat at the LTT and endulge on the rolls and butter.
I can't wait until we see how much our kids have grown when we compare our new picture at casey's corner.

I can go on and on. Not sure if I can come up with 100 but I'll sure try.
Have a great trip

What a great idea! We made a paper chain for our last trip but did not write on it. We'll have to try that next time.

How 'bout....

Can't wait to stand in front of the castle and wish upon a star

Can't wait to visit the Main Street Bakery and pick out something yummy to eat

Can't wait to get that morning wake-up call from Mickey and/or Stitch

Can't wait to see the palm trees (this is a big one for us since we live in WV)

Can't wait to experience that amazing take-off on Rock N Roller Coaster

Can't wait to eat a Mickey Ice Cream Bar

Can't wait to see Spectromagic

Can't wait to hold my DD's hand in mine, sigh a contented sigh, and say "We're home".

 

[tarheeltink]

My short list -

Can't wait to walk down Main Street USA

Can't wait to ride Splash Mountain

Can't wait to eat a Mickey Ice Cream Bar

Can't wait to ride Soarin'

Can't wait for Mickey Waffles...

There are so many things I can't wait for, but when I try to think of them I just draw a blank

Good luck with your list and have a great vacation!

I can't wait to see DD3's face when she goes to CRT to eat with the princesses.

I can't wait to swim in Storm Along Bay at the Beach Club.

I can't wait to see my DS6's face when he FINALLY gets to go on Space Mountain.

I can't wait to try out Le Cellier with DH alone.

I can't wait to ride Soarin'.

Oooh...I could go on forever.

An other idea! Every trip we take we do a "event calander" I scan pics from old trips, Birnbaums or the web site and enter these pics into the days of the calander this gives us a great chain to follow. In the past I had also printed these pics on computer sticker paper and placed each one on a page of an inexpensive desk post type of tablet and then each day our kids could pull off a page. We also have made a schedule of Disney films and watched one each day or two to get us ready. Our current calander says 128 days till we go. Can't wait!!

Awesome ideas guys, thanks so much.
