Your Magic Moment

[christianweecare]

My magical moment is driving through the gates with Mickey & Minnie welcoming me home again! Then driving up to the resort that we will be staying at for the trip! DH & I have been visiting WDW for 30 years since our honeymoon at the Poly! This year we go back to the Poly for our 30th anniversary celebration!

The magic begins for me the moment the "We are arriving in Orlando" announcement is made on the plane. I get a little teary-eyed.

Then, once I walk up to MK (we always visit this park first), I start to cry when we walk through the gates. Don't know why, but it always happens.

OUr must do is seeing the MK fireworks show each trip, whatever it is. VERY glad it's Wishes now! So beautiful! The other must do thing is stay on property and explore whatever resort we're at. Ugh..... ending a sentence with a preposition,.

My magical event is seeing Illuminations on the last night that we are at WDW. I did this one trip with my niece and she said she was glad we had saved it for last. That has made it special for me ever since.

And then there are all the other things that make each trip special .........

Love walking down Main Street toward the castle and walking in each of the shops. Have to get a Dole Whip and sit and people watch. Must ride POTC and HM. Battle it out with DH on Buzz but usually loose. Drink a 4-layer marjuarita at Mexico . Eat a HUGE icecream at Beaches N Cream. Can't leave without watching Fantasmic

Since I haven't been for a while, and we're going as one big happy family this June, I'll tell you how we're starting. We're going straight to the castle, will ride a ride of the 4 and 6 year olds choice, then we'll watch the Share a Dream come true Parade, eat dinner at Ohana's, ride the monarail, and crash, or stay for Spectromagic or Wishes. Who knows, maybe this will become our family tradition?

My magic moment is riding the ferry over to MK. Has to be the ferry. Brings back so many memories of the anticipation I felt as a child. December is sooo far away!

Well said Llamaface!

It wouldn't be a trip to WDW without a visit to the Dumbo statue in the hub. That's my magic place.

My magical moment was on my daughter's first trip to WDW. She was 2.5.
As with many other little girls, she is a huge Cinderella fan. We have all of the movies at home. She acted them out, etc.

When we walked into MK, went under the train station, and made our way to the center of Main St., and saw Cinderella's castle for the first time, she was in disbelief. I'm videoing the whole thing and my wife and I were welling up (I'm starting to now as I think of it). My daughter just smiles and looks and couldn't say anything.

Her look was, "I can't believe that Cinderella's castle is real?"

I'll never forget that day as long as I live. It was that day that I brought my first child to MK and I could see the happiness in her as it was for me as a child. It was at that point that I knew that I now travel to WDW for my children's enjoyment. My own, is secondary. Everything that happens there. Every smile, every laugh, every memory, is for their enjoyment.

I feel the same way CMonroe. We took our first child during starwars weekend 9 years ago. He was only 2 at the time and a very tall CM in a Chewbacca outfit came by and picked him up and he was so scared, he peed on the CM. I have it all on tape. Our daughter is now 5 and still believes in Fairy tales and Snow White is real in her eyes......and in mine too while we are there! Nowhere else on earth do I ever cry except there.

After our last trip, we all decided that the attraction that best represented all things Disney was Mickey's PhilharMagic.......!!

That will be our very first stop this next trip!!

Definitely, SPLASH MOUNTAIN. There is something about hearing Zippidy Doo Dah at the end of the ride that makes me believe I'm actually there.

 

[ReggieB]

The first thing we do is go to Magic Kingdom to find Mickey in his Judge's Tent. My DS4 needs a hug before anything else can be done!

We must defeat the evil emperor Zurg before we do anything else! That's when we know our Disney Trip has begun.
