1) Meeting a few long-time internet friends (I'm talking over a decade of virtual companionship, here) in person for the first time, and seeing others I've met once or twice again. So eager to hug them all.
2) Walking into Pop... never stayed there!
3) Waiting at the bus stop on arrival day and feeling a thrill of excitement as the bus pulls in saying "Magic Kingdom" on the front! And the subsequent bus ride, chattering with friends the whole way in anticipation.
4) Hopefully, if my little cousins are with me, watching them as they see the castle for the first time.
5) Toy Story Mania. Never managed to ride it before.
6) Star Wars Weekends. A brand new experience for all of us! I want to get character autographs, watch the parade, and see the Hyperspace Hoopla (my friends can join the epic battle for celebrity autographs and exclusive merchandise if they wish, but I'll be satisfied with the things I mentioned).
7) A character meal with cousins and friends who have never been to WDW and will be delighted to meet characters. Thinking of booking two: one to meet Princesses, and one for the classic gang of characters.
8) Dole Whip, of course.
9) My beloved Wishes won't be there anymore in May 2011, I believe, but I look forward to watching a new fireworks show at the castle.
10) Kilimanjaro Safari. I hope we get lucky and have a giraffe close to our jeep like I did on my last trip. Either way, I loved seeing the animals!
11) The blissful, exhausted state of sleep granted by a long day in the parks and knowing you have another one in the morning.
I could keep going, but I'll stop for now.
