Magical Moments

Have you ever experienced a magical moment if so what was your magical moment?

People used to give my wife and I fast passes all the time. Its about as magical a thing I can think of for us. One summer, in a fairly packed magic kingdom we rode most big ticket rides (space, splash, btmrr, pan, small world, pirates, and jungle cruise) in about two hours and thirty minutes...mid summer. We actually did space & big thunder three times each, well before the sun set. Not sure why we were getting such charity, but we tried to do the same every trip after. Its one thing I miss about paper fast pass. It was pretty cool to witness and be able to give to someone else...can't really do the same with a magic band.

my wife made me wear a pin for my birthday. I'll admit I was embarrassed to wear it, but after a few birthday wishes from cast members & some visitors, I was all game.

That's how I was When my wife made me wear the happy anniversary pin....I'm not even a Peter pan fan, but let him wave and yell to me "happy anniversary" during a parade while my wife is getting a drink...I had to get the couple next to me to tell her i was telling the truth about it. I was beaming!

One visit my oldest daughter was then 4 years old and absolutely in love with Mulan. We arrived early at the meet and greet area so that she could be the first one in line to meet her. Well, with 5 minutes before Mulan was scheduled to arrive, our little one decides that she has to go potty. As we hurriedly moved toward a restroom area, our daughter glances down a "side alley" and out a door comes Mulan. Before I knew it, our daughter had ripped her hand out of mine and was on a full sprint toward Mulan.....in Disney commercial type action, Mulan bends down and scoops her up and gives her a big hug! They interacted for about 5 minutes before Mulan told her that she had to go. It was truly a magical moment for our daughter.
One other visit, daughter #2 was attending a story telling with Pocohontas. At the time, our daughter was a rambunctious 2 year old and didn't really sit still with anyone. However, right before the story began, Chip and Dale were playing around and Chip comes over and takes our little one by the hand, leads her over to the story area and sits her on his lap.....she sat quietly and listened to the entire story while Chip held her and my wife ended the story in tears!!! We left the story area and went straight to a gift shop to purchase a little Chip and Dale stuffed animal as our daughter demanded to have her new best friends to take home!!! Both of these moments were priceless to our family!

On my daughters birthday just a few years ago (mind you she's an adult with a teenaged kid) got a phone call from Goofy as we were getting ready to go into the American Adventure. He sang her Happy Birthday. She was so funny. Her face got all red and man she was embarrassed. I guess she just felt a little old to have that happen. Later, she thought it was pretty cool.

Year of a Million Dreams. We were upgraded to concierge level at Beach Club and then also given a personal tour of POTC by cast member Nathan who took us around the queue and into our own boat outta nowhere when we were taking pictures outside of the ride.

We went to the Visa Meet & Greet at Innoventions and took the standard pictures with Goofy. As we turned to leave, Goofy must have seen our Just Engaged pins on our backpacks and motioned for us to come back. We took some very memorable (dare I say, goofy) pictures showing off the ring. We felt the love.

Pretty much every second of watching my daughter last year in the Magic Kingdom was pure magic! She was 2.5 at the time, and being very outgoing, ran up to hug every character we met. I think the most magical moment was during breakfast at Akershus. Snow White came over to ask her if she'd hold her hand and walk with her during the Princess parade around the restaurant, and she just lit up. She was dressed like Snow White that day, so it was really sweet. I video taped it, and her face the whole time is priceless!

This is disney land but still disney.

A couple years back in the year of volunteering for fastpasses, we glt pins saying we were voluntEARS.
We wore these occasionally and one day a CM picked us out of the crowd in front of small world and gave us the opportunity to ride on a float in the 3:00 parade.
We also got a special photo op with the characters in the parade

When we took our 2.5 year old DD two years ago, she had a stuffed Pluto with her we'd got the night before. We stood in line to see first Pluto and then Marie but Marie and Pluto got together and put on a skit using her Pluto and Marie kept mining stinky Pluto and Pluto would try to get his namesake back. She still talks about it and wants to take Pluto on our May trip for it to happen again because it made her trip. It was true magic.

This past summer was our first trip with our two little ones, 3 and 18 months. They spent the week having their favorite characters sign their autograph books and carried them around proudly in their little backpacks. On our last morning, our daughter left her backpack somewhere in Hollywood Studios... By the time we realized it we were on our way to our final night at Magic kingdom and needless to say my daughter was devestated. My husband made a few calls describing the back pack but we figured it was a long shot. When we got home from our night the backpack was sitting in our room at the Beach club...it had been brought over by a HS cast member. the autograph book was not only still there but many additional "characters" had signed it for her while it was missing!!! True disney Magic

When I was younger on my first trip to WDW, I had a fun experience. After watching PhilharMagic, a CM approached my sister and I and asked us to find Donald somewhere in the gift shop because he had gone missing. We found a little plush Donald with a glowing ring around his head, and the CM gave us a little certificate saying something about saving Donald. It made my day and it was just another example of Disney magic.

When my girls were 14 months old, we were enjoying our last night looking in some shops in Magic Kingdom. One of my girls was holding a plush Minnie doll. A cast member walked by and asked my daughter if she loved Minnie. My daughter smiled and the woman said she could keep it!! They called it a Magical Moment, I had to sign a paper to show I recieved the doll. They even let my other daughter pick her favorite plush off the rack too! Such a great way to end our first Disney vacation with our princesses!!

This is a little off from most posts you will find here but I think about this a lot. My son is 15 now. He had never been one to approach people and ask questions. When we went in 2009 something happened inside if him and he found courage to approach people and ask questions. He felt comfortable at Disney. This carried over to home and to this day. I'm thankful he was able to break out of that shell.

About 8 years ago we were on a Grand Gathering trip with 14 family members including 6 kids. We were in the MK and were all wearing our Fighting Illini - Chief Illiniwek t-shirts and getting into the standby line at Splash Mountain when we heard someone call out "I L L" and without missing a beat we all shouted out "I N I" out of nowhere a CM comes up and gives us the hand written FPs to get onto Splash and two more one for Space and one for Big Thunder for our whole group!

Now that we can't easily find Chief items my husband saves his shirts and hats for sporting events and our family Illini day at Disney.

My best Magical moment was a few years ago. After leaving WDW and starting the drive home, we had just crossed the GA state line...it was then I realized they let me leave the resort with $5 still in my wallet. Pretty magical indeed!
