Our children are all adults now , so one of the things I enjoy most about WDW, DL and now DCL is the look of excitement and amazement on the faces of the children as they experience the parks or the ships.

Yes but squirrel stew aint to bad eitherThe USA has several varieties of squirrels, and some other similar critters from the family of furry rodents. Gray squirrels (which I think is in this picture) are very common across the USA.
They are cute and fun to watch, until they get into your home. Yes, squirrels are known to infest homes and have to be removed by an exterminator. We had a pair start a family in a past home. We first heard the scratching in the walls and ceiling, then an odor. We found a nest in the attic, and several holes in the fascia boards at the roof line. Not so amazing or nice to have to get rid of them.
Oh, and like other rodents, they are prone to carrying diseases, especially rabies. You should never try to pick up a squirrel or try to feed one, because of the diseases they carry.

We have black squirrels in Northern KY! I've only seen them in one area/neighborhood though!

No, generally they are grey. There is an area somewhere in England where red squirrels exist but they are very rare!

Grey squirrels are common here in the UK as well, I actually work for a wildlife sanctuary and we sometimes receive orphaned and injured squirrels, but ours don't carry rabies!The USA has several varieties of squirrels, and some other similar critters from the family of furry rodents.

I've never been ill after 20 years of touching squirrels.

Technically, the squirrels are brown, not grey. Also, I've seen a black-furred squirrel, which blew my mind.

We just left and had lots of magical moments but I think one of my favs is Mickey Mouse had everyone including himself sing "Happy Birthday" to my daughters. The Mickey at town square theatre talks so he saw my DD bday pin and sang to her. We got it on video. We then went and had lunch at Cinderella's royal table.

For me it's two things. My DH had never been to Disney as a kid, so after we graduated from college, as a way to celebrate, we went to Disney. Seeing the look on his face when he set foot on Main Street and the way his face completely lit up in awe of all that was around him, it is a moment I will never forget, even 16 years later. He still has the same reaction every time we get to MK, I relive seeing that happiness in him every time we visit and it makes me so happy to see him so happy. The second is from my DD, not only seeing her reaction to the castle when we first took her to Disney when she was 3, but on that visit she fell in love with Snow White. Everything became about Snow White after we met her, from Halloween costumes to Snow White figurines purchased off of eBay for a ridiculous amount of money, to t-shirts and videos and never-ending quests to find more Snow White merchandise for her. She is now 11 and has since outgrown her affection for the princess, but I can't wait to go on the Mine Train to feel that bit of little girl nostalgia that my daughter has left behind. I've seen the videos of the ride, and I already know I will cry.
