So what makes you happy at WDW that probably makes no one else happy???

[Fantabulously Cherry]

Saving my snack credits to have a popcorn, diet coke, and a Mickey bar on my last park day

Having a No Way Jose at Beaches n' Cream on my last day

Having cheddar cheese soup at the Canada pavillion during F&W Festival

Riding a TTA over and over during a hot day to relax and cool off

I know someone else mentioned this, but filling out the papers for getting items shipped to the resort. My favorite part though is picking your hotel; the first time I ever did this the CM filled the bubble in as a Mickey. I'm not sure if everyone did this, but I do it every time I have something shipped, and even some CMs find it funny. I just love filling out the bubbles! Nowhere else can you make it a Mickey and not get a weird look.

I adore American Adventure show. Parts of the narration can make me tear up everytime..... the Eagle has landed! I have a dream...

and the whole Civil War section

I tear up too. But I'm still upset they took the 1980 US Hockey team out of it during a refurb several years ago and replaced them with Kristy Yamaguchi.

Main Street, I wish there was a bench! I could sit there all day long, listening and smelling.

Peter Pan, It's Nana!!!

It's a small world , the Polnesian dancers, I love them!

Philharmagic, makes me tear up everytime.

Pirates - right after the drop! Love that and the ship!

Little Mermaid, as you are entering the sea, it is so cool.

Big Top Treats! I love that red tent and that sweet fake candy smell.

The blue line, I could ride it several times

It the wildest ride in the wilderness.

Buzz in the tunnel.

Seeing Wishes fireworks through the trees while standing by the Tea Cups.

 

[RustManFan]

I would have kept the 1980s hockey but if they had to replace maybe with an all-American pastime moment from baseball? Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Frank Robinson...

or was baseball already in there? I need to go back and see again!!

The air and sounds and the humid, cooler air early in the morning.
The whole Figment ride. We just discovered this after about 10 trips and we rode it 3 times in a row. My kids Loved this ride and we all left it feeling a little happier, I think.
Not me, but my husband loves the Ellen ride and I appreciate the nap it affords me in the cool air.
The smell of the bakery in France and the dim buzz inside Mexico.
Any Disney transportation option: 1) because I don't have to drive; 2) because it's usually a cool break; 3) because we've often chatted with the nicest people during our trips. I especially love the early morning rides where everyone is fresh and excited for the day.
And, Maelstrom...of course that's gone now but it was always my favorite ride.

 

[DexLabDeeDee]

Mornings at Disney - especially AK!
The smell of Rome burning.
The smell of the bathrooms - weird I know!! My work must have just switched to the cleaners that Disney uses because I recently walked into the bathroom and stopped in my tracks. It smelled like my other home!
The spanish portion of any safety spiel!
Mickey krispie treats!

 

[wizneather78]

That overall feeling that nothing else matters and nothing else in life is going on. It's all about fun & magic when you are there. It's the BEST feeling.

Watching our daughter soak it all in as her face just lights up constantly!!

Walking into our resort room and thinking...."Aaaahhhhh.....we're 'home' for a while".

So. many. smells!!!

Monorail

Mainstreet U.S.A.

 

[BuzzinDownToDisney]

So many great ones already here!
I'll add:
1. Those concert posters while you wait for Philharmagic to begin -- would buy a few if I could!!

Ohhh wow, you nailed another one! I would love "An Evening with Wheezy!"

 

[Claudia Kellenberger]

Keep in mind I always vacation solo, leaving my DH at home. ( We have no children )

I love to watch the kids as they hug a character. I may even take photos of characters.
I love those beautiful stars in Spaceship Earth.
I love to chat with all the people in line with me.
I love it when people think I am so brave for vacationing solo.
I love briefly getting stuck on a ride so I can see a lot more! Last time I got stuck at the top of BTMR. It was so exciting! I called my DH as soon as that was over and told him all about it.

This one may seem silly ..... but ....... on the first morning that I wake up at my resort ..... all by myself ...
I do a happy yell .......... "I'm in Disney World !!" LOL!

 

[Simba's Mom]

Walking to the POR food court at sunrise for my coffee and saying Good Morning to all the early risers I pass along the way. Love it

OMG-you reminded me of when my father was alive, and his biggest thrill was that the CMs at the resort he and Mom stayed at would let him sneak into the back door of the BCMarketplace at 6:30 (before they opened) to get a free cup of coffee. Mom never understood why he didn't just stay in the room-"We have a coffee maker" but he'd say "It's all part of the experience!"

Am I the only one who always leaves a wake up call every night? When the recording says "Thank you for staying with us, and we wish you magical dreams", that gives me such a good feeling.

 

[bradiblue27]

definitely when the ship takes off from the tracks on Peter Pan. I was 20 the first time I rode it last year and I felt the magic so hard in that moment. Now every time we ride it I get so so so happy. My boyfriend makes fun of me for it every time we talk about Disney World.

 

[DVC Jen]

The sound the boat horns in the distance with the MK train being a close second.

 

[Asc341]

I love getting a cup of coffee and taking it with me to RD. There's something so relaxing about enjoying that cup while I listen to the park music, and watch everyone around me get excited for the park to open.

 

[Jcke]

Waiting in line at Space Mountain. The line music is amazing and I could honestly listen to it all day!

The music loop in Tomorrowland is the same, could listen to it all day.

The ride posters underneath the Railway station at the entrance of MK. Would love some of those around the house!

 

[TwinPrincessMermaids]

Ohhh wow, you nailed another one! I would love "An Evening with Wheezy!"

Bug's Life has great funny posters too. I also like the Monsters Inc Employee Bulletin board and vending machine. I miss the hilarious XSTech commercials at Space Mtn and how they tied in with Alien Encounter. I'm always one to look at the nuanced details in the place most people don't look for.

 

[poeticdiabetic]

Sorry- Got another one...

OK, at AK. Africa or Asia (Asia really gets me.) You go through and see the sights and sounds. A lot of this really feels authentic (especially when you've been there.) So you go to the restrooms. And they are CLEAN! And I mean, Disney clean!

It shocked me because I expected the authentic to go all the way to the restrooms, but they were really clean! Made my day!

 

[AlohaAnnie]

Walking through Pixar Place in Hollywood Studios or by Toy Story Mania. I love to hear the music.

Great Movie Ride, waiting area - I love the movies and the part right before you pass under the bright pink neon sign, then singing in the rain! I love that movie.

Muppets 3D so corny but I love it!

Animal Kingdom, I just love Africa there. The whole area!

This made me LOL, for real.....at work. Oops.

 

[prettypatchesmsu]

The "Welcome Home" announcement on the bus gets me all teared up every time. Just thinking about it makes me wistful.
