When do you get your first DLP tingle.....

[stonfiesta]

Whens the first moment you get the magical disney tingle? Does that make sense?

Mine is the on the first day we get there and just on exiting the entrance and standing right at the bottom of mainstreet......get the tingle all the way up my back, hairs stand on end......love it! that the first moment i get the disney magic.

ooooo its so magical!

As soon as I step into Main Street, the music takes over and I feel like I've stepped into another world.
I said this once before to a lady who used to be a forum member and she summed it up as being like the scene in Mary Poppins where they go through the chalk painting on the pavement and into the animated world.

I got the first and every time a tingle when i see the newport bay club as the first thing disney when we drive towards the Resort. And another bigger one when we see the main street and hear the music.

I even get excited now by remembering it.

Oo great question. I'd say theres two points. The first one is on the walk down to Disneyland park on our first night there after we've unpacked and stuff, and when you hear the Disney music after the turnstiles But the nicest one is the first morning, going for breakfast then taking a nice stroll past HNY and SL and NPB, then down to Disney Village and having a wee look in the shops, then taking it all in before going to the Park and having a look in the Bazaar

I tend to get my first 'tingle' when I my bedroom turns into mission control, case, clothes, bird toys - he says with his 'gran' while I'm away, all piled up ready for sorting in their various bags or whatever. That's when I rush for my photo albums for a Disney Hit.

However, I think Jill has hit it right on the head myself. It's so quite normally as you walk through Fantasia Gardens to the park - only the occasional sound of a sobbing, overexcited toddler to break the birdsong, then you walk under the DLH and through to the park proper and suddenly it's all music and action. Very reminiscent of Mary Poppins' chalk picture.

My first tingle is when I'm on the bus and I get that first glimpse of the park - then I know I've REALLY arrived!

HELP!!!

I have always resisted Disneyland Paris as I've always thought I would be so disapointed after numerous trips to WDW, BUT I have bitten the bullet and we have booked up to go on the 29th August for 5 nights.

Can someone please reassure me that I will feel the magic!!!

 

[tinkerbell36]

OH MY GOD yes of course you will - just avoid comparing them!!

You will not regret this!

I think that my most tingly bit of the trip, is actually stepping out of my hotel and walking round the lake, on the way to the parks.

Can someone please reassure me that I will feel the magic!!!

As tinkerbell36 says - just don't go to DLP expecting another WDW. They are very different Disney experiences, but DLP still has lots of magic. Enjoy the most beautiful and detailed "Magic Kindgom" that Disney have built.

When we see Mickey's ears on the water tower from the bus, and then when we walk in through th edoors of the Cheyenne

At the turnstills I would tell my DD that if she had been good her ticket would come out of the other end when she put it in and mickey would allow her in
You should of seen her face when it popped out !! bless .and that music down main street makes you want to dance and if you do no one cares its a lovely feeling

The first tingle is as soon as I see the "sortie 14" sign with Fantasia-Mickey at the autobahn, than seeing the Disneyland Hotel in the distance while driving to my hotel and the real Disney tingle is of course when entering Main Street with the music and the castle and the knowledge that 3 fantastic days have just began.

No matter where I go on holiday I am always at my most excited on travel day! I love the anticipation of getting closer & closer and the amazment that just hours ago you were at home and now your hundreds or thousands of miles away!

I've not been to the parks in the US but I certainly would not worry about anything being missing. It's all good!

 

[wideeyes]

I love it when we first spot Disneyland from the VEA bus, dd always gets excited when she spots the balloon.

 

[PATMAGIC]

I get the feeling everytime I hear Dancin, Halloween Lo Ween, Chante C'est Noel or All Around The World and the parade bagins, really to me the parades do have so much magic in them it's amazing .

 

[Mrs Stonfiesta]

My first 'real' Disney tingle in when we walk into the parks and into main street, you can hear the music and then i get tingles, hairs on neck standing up etc... i am getting excited just thinking about it!!!! i want to go NOW!!!!

I remember my very first tingle, my mum and stepfather had paid for the family to go (10 of us) and we stepped through the turnstiles and my mum and myself held on to each other and burst into tears!! My little boy 13months at the time was saying "mama crying mama crying". Now each time we walk through the turnstiles in DLP or WDW that same feeling comes flooding back
