First trip in 2011 was just magical and happy all around. Walked into Magic Kingdom on our first day and we were immediately stopped by a family who was leaving as they handed us fastpasses to Big Thunder Mountain. We saw the castle and then we were on our first ride within minutes of entering...

That's an awesome model! The actors that made up the storyline were definitely top notch and the finale on the last night was amazing. Our favorite character was Sammie as we had multiple memorable interactions with him.

...Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Certainly overpriced and Disney caught a lot of flak over its failure, but my sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip there and still reminisce about it. It's about making memories, right?

…Mickey’s Philharmagic! Classic Disney songs

I love Wishes! I listen to the soundtrack in my car frequently. Did not like Happily Ever After the first time I saw it, and that was due to the fact that I was still bitter that Wishes was gone. However, my second viewing of HEA was with my daughter on her Make-a-wish trip and I found it to be...

Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios. Classic Disney music!

I've run those paths a few times and it's probably one of the best run/walk paths on property. The loop around hourglass lake between POP and AoA is a nice path as well.

Don't wanna get in an argument, but I have to ask: If the wait was really only five minutes, why not peacefully take your time to allow those in your family to catch a bit of the fireworks show and do so together? Why the rush? The line is not going to fill up during the fireworks show. I would...

I second the sentiment of Expedition Everest. That is easily my favorite ride and to be able to walk down through the mountain would be quite the experience. Space Mountain would be interesting as well to be able to see with the lights on. We did get evacuated from Splash Mountain once and got...

Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite rides. My Lego enthusiast son got this for me. I put it together and it now sits on a shelf in our house. Nice piece to have.

We stayed at POP pre-skyliner and then again on our last trip a few weeks ago. Already loved POP before (especially the tie-dyed cheesecake) but with the skyliner it’s even better!

Skyliner for sure. It’s peaceful, the views from up a little higher are great, and it’s readily available so there’s no guessing when the next one will come.

Same! My daughter got a Make-a-Wish trip in January 2020 and it was fantastic. So many memories from that trip, but her face when she saw the castle was priceless! Also, on our family's first trip in 2011 we walked into the Magic Kingdom (first day, first park, first time at WDW) and were handed...

Big Thunder Mountain?

A perfect mid-afternoon break on a hot summer day!
