What was one of your fondest memories at WDW?

[wannabee princess]

These have been great to read. Those of you who have visited the World with your parents are so lucky! What wonderful memories to have. I am looking forward to my dh's family trip this year - just wish it wasn't too late to take my dad.

My fondest memory was when on our first trip my 4 yr old DD pulled my shirt to get my attention as we were walking on Main street towards the castle and said "Dad this is the best day of my whole life".

I'll list a few....

My first time at MGM, catching the perfect picture of Jiminy Cricket, who was my favorite character before Stitch came into existance.

Having the animator CM on the Animation Tour draw us a Mickey head and sign it for us when we just asked for her autograph. We have it framed. It was and still is our coolest souvenier. It's just a shame that she did actually make it inside the studio as an animator only to be dumped by Eisner's bad anti-2D animation policies. But, in our hearts Jen Kagel is a wonderful lady.

My first time meeting Mickey at age 34 and crying like a baby because I got to hug him. I waited 30 years for the chance to do this, since I didn't get to when I was 4.

Seeing Gabby, my partner, interact with Lilo & Stitch when Lilo hit Stitch, Gabby said, "Don't you hit my Stitch!" and shielded him. This from a 29 year old woman who was dead serious about keeping Stitch safe from further harm. Her reward was a booger that he picked just for her. lol

Some wonderful interaction with Chip & Dale at the Ice Cream Social over at Epcot. Let's just say that leaving the backpack open for them to grab stuff out of was worth the show.

Walking up Main Street in the "snow."

Seeing Wishes for the first time.

Riding BTMRR as the fireworks were going off and having become a whole new ride as the fireworks burst right over our heads. It was just too awesome!!!

There are so many more, but these come to mind right off. Maggie

Of all my Disney memories, my best was seeing my grandparents' faces the first time they walked down Main Street USA. It was so cool being on their first trip to the world. I had been 3 times before, and they had never been. It was so special to watch their faces seeing everything for the first time, especially the parades. And riding Splash Mountain with Grampa has to be the best memory of all. LOL. His face after we went down that drop was one none of us will never forget. We're hoping that they'll join us on next year's trip too.

My absolute favorite:
Standing in the rain (with our little yellow Mickey ponchos on) with my DH on Main Street at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve 2002 and watching the fireworks explode over the castle.

2nd fondest memory: At MGM, having my picture made with Mickey and he wouldn't let go of my hand! It was on the side street near the Backstage Tour where Sorcerer Mickey is and can have pictures made with him. It was deserted and no one was in there except Mickey and CM's. It was so cute - he let my DH go and waved bye to him while holding onto me! He "kissed" me too! Only when the CM told him that Minnie might get mad was when he finally let me go. I have it in a frame in my bedroom! We all still laugh over Mickey trying to "keep me"
