The Moment that gives me 'goosebumps' is just before the start of the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom when the lights dim and the music plays. It is always the most magical time of my visit. What is yours?
 
Driving under the 'Walt Disney World' sign for the first time each trip. Seeing Spaceship Earth on day one (Epcot is a first day tradition for us). The music from Magical Moments and Tapestry of Nations/Dreams (sadly both just memories now :( ).
 
At the MK

Walking onto Main Street USA for the first time.

Waiting for the first Dole Whip of my trip.

EPCOT

When the fountain plays Standing in Motion (and I usually have tears in my eyes too!)

Horizons: The Omni room.

Tapestry of Nations: The beginning when the Timekeeper said "Behold, the great Millennium Walk!" Geez, I got goosebumps just typing that!

The Great Illuminations: When they'd start playing Rhapsody in Blue.

TT: Flying around the banked curve.

MGM

The ToT!

The movie they show at the end of the Great Movie Ride.

Listening to Four for a Dollar at BatB.

AK

Seeing lots of animals on the Safari.


Hotels, Etc.:

POFQ: Getting up in the morning and looking out onto the river.

Boardwalk: Looking across the lake at sunset near the Y&BC.

Getting off the plane at MCO and stepping into the terminal.

I'd have to say just stepping onto Main Street USA and seeing the castle in the distance...

You'd think it would wear off after a while...but no, I'm 26 and still get that little thrill walking into the parks...
 

Have to agree w/the above poster ... just setting foot on Main Street USA!

Seeing Mickey for the first time, too!
 
has to be seeing the castle down main street too, brings tears to my eyes everytime and I'm 38 LOL
 
Illuminations does it every time!

The part of Kilimanjaro Safari where they play the "safari music"

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party's special fireworks

:)
 
These ones get me every time...

*When Mickey pops out of the top of the mountain at the end of Fantasmic!
*Illuminations
*Driving under the "Walt Disney World" sign over the highway on the way to the MK.
 
Seeing my sweet daughter's face light up and hear her start talking like a radio when we drive on property..
 
When I see DD and DS walking with their arms around each other through the parks. They just don't argue at WDW, and have so much fun together. I guess it's the Disney Magic.
 
I've got goosebumps and tears in my eyes reading all your posts, LOL!
 
Deb - glad to know it's not just me. Just reading all of the goosebump moments makes me feel like I'm experiencing them. I get all teary eyed....and being at work that can be hard to explain :D
 
Mine is also driving under the sign.


Also the night before Disney

When you pull up at the resort

When you see your room for the first time that trip

Going on the monorail for the first on the trip

Going on the first ride (any ride) of the trip!

Walking down main street.

Going on Splash Mountain AND ToT ( favorite rides)

This reminds me of the worst part of the trip - going on the monorail for the last time :( . <b>"If this concludes your trip to the Walt Disney World Resort ..."</b> Dds and I always look at one another and well up!

LOL, WDWorBUST! Reminds me of being in the Hallmark shop reading the messages in the greetings cards! I always feel like such an idiot! I'm such a softie ...
 
I have to agree with one of the posts above...definitely get goosebumps AND tears in my eyes when Mickey appears at the top of the Fantasmic mountain. Seeing the faces of the kids around me is probably part of what does it to me!:)

Another one is the WHOLE "One Man's Dream" exhibit in MGM. After watching the film about Walt, I turned to my boyfriend and asked, "Are they trying to kill me?!,"attempting to smile through my tears!
 
*Driving under the "Welcome to Walt Disney World" sign on the way in

*Walking onto Main Street, hearing the music, and seeing the castle

*The launch on RnRC

*Tinkerbell flying overhead

*ALL of Fantasmic!!!
 
Oh, almost all of these. ;)

I can also add the movie at the end of The Magic of Disney Animation in MGM. I wish a copy of that were available on DVD. It gets me every time.
 
For me there are a few that stand out.

We play the SpectroMagic music on the way to the airport!
It gets everyone in the mood!

When we drive under the "Welcome to Disney World" sign.

On the last night when we watch SpectroMagic... I wait for the last float with Jiminy Cricket on the back saying goodbye!!

That one REALLY does it for me.

You just never know when you will be back again..

And then you start to plan the next trip:D
