Some thoughts...

[Credit Man]

Very well said! I am right there with you.

Me too! You said it better than I ever could.

Beautifully written, EsmereldaX! The happy tears are flowing!

I know lots of people with little ones like to save MK for later in their vacation, but we have to go there first thing - it's the official beginning of our magical stay when we walk down Main Street toward that castle, and I always get teary-eyed! I first visited WDW at the age of 30, but I felt like a kid and I've loved it ever since! Now, half of my joy comes from watching our DD, who's 5 now but first saw WDW at the age of 3 1/2. Just the look of excitement and sheer joy on her face makes the trip worth all the money in the world - I'm hooked, I tell 'ya!

We're two adults (DBF and I) and we have to do MK first. We do dinner in the castle first night. It just makes it all seem real!

EsmeraldaX, I am 51 and I swear that if there was a mirror as I walked onto Main Steet in MK I would see a 5 year old me looking back. I seem to go back to that time when all things magic were possible and I truly believed happy thoughts could make me fly. I really like the fact that so many other "5 year olds" are enjoying the magic as much as me.
