I'm basically with Elon girl.....There's a process....First it's the terminal at MCO: the mini-monorail, MousEarsport (or the other Mouse store), outside is a fountain I love (looks like a big stone bathtub bubbling over)....From there, you see the WDW billoards (notice there's very few WDW ads facing the other direction) and the gateway into WDW!
The first view of the Castle and the Epcot ball always give me pause too.
It's the whole sequence that I enjoy.
