[bdearl41]

This is bound to get some great responses!!!

First I would say any day there when i was a kid.

As an adult this day:

Early morning hours at Animal Kingdom, on the second safari out, saw hippos out of the water, lions actually moving, and Giraffe right beside truck. Three rides on EE without waiting, saw Baloo and King Louie with no line. Finding Nemo musical, Kali River, Dinosaur, back to the busses. Stop at resort (Pop Century) for hour swim in the heat, shower, change, on the bus at 3 or so to EPCOT with two for the road. SE, Mission to Mars no wait, Test Track, single rider (there were 2 of us, both got in the same car). 30 min wait for Soarin, beer while waiting. Dinner at Chefs de France. Kronenburg for the road. Boat past resorts to MGM during sunset. Tower of Terror in 15 min, RNR in 25 minutes, beer vender showed right before going inside the indoor part of the line. Front row of RNR, my buddies first time on it. Fantasmic late showing right after. Boat back to Boardwalk, busses to Downtown Disney. Drinks, pool late at night back at resort! It was fantastic!!!

How bout yours????

Getting there the first day,usually around 5.00pm,unpacking suitcases as fast as we can and heading to MK. Sitting at Caseys watching Wishes and eating dogs and fries,heading back to our resort hotel at midnight[it's now 18hrs with no sleep]put our heads down on the pillows and falling into a deep sleep.Here comes the best bit.We get up in the morning and find out it's not a dream,were really here.:sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:

First Trip as an Adult

Was doubtful at 30 b/c hadn't been in years. Got off plane to magical express, where a cast member had a big Mickey glove on, bobbing the way to the DME. Got off the bus at the beautiful Riverside to be ambushed by my friends who had bussed back from MK to meet me. Dropped off my carry on and got on bus to MK (and having an hour long commute each way to work in terrible traffic, it was SO NICE being driven somewhere for a change). Walked in to MK with the Christmas decorations all around, danced in the middle of Main Street to the Brass Band, was stopped by a Dream Giver and given a private meet-and-greet with Cinderella. The fast passes were never ending that day, met Fairies and Princesses and Mickey and Minnie and Daisy and Donald with two friends I adore. One of the best days ever.

I think this counts...my Wedding Day, it was the most fantastic Disney Day ever! The coolest part was our Dessert party in Epcot at the French Island Upper. We had an amazing after Wedding party there while watching Illuminations. It was a good day!

Probably our first trip there back in 2005. My two boys were 5 and 7, and it also was my wife's and my first time too. We stayed at Beach Club, (was upgraded to Concierge room), and visited Magic Kingdom as our first park.

 

[whitethunder]

Superbowl Night, hands down. I couldn't of cared less about either team so I ditched it and drove to MK at about 6:30. It was raining, and fireworks were 10-15 away from starting when we arrived around 8ish. Main Street wasn't packed to the brim with people, so I took that as a good sign.

We were royalty that night. I believe we did almost everything in the park in a couple hours, including riding Space Mountain enough times that everyone got to ride in the front. It was an incredible night.

Every memory I have from there is incredible. Disney was our family vacation spot before my dad left a few years ago. It still brings back so many happy memories! I went there on my honeymoon for the first time since going with my family in 2006- it was still perfect. My best disney day? Probably when my little sister and I were allowed to go to the parks by ourselves for the first time during extra magic hours (I was 16 at the time). It felt like we were on top of the world! We rode every ride over and over, and took loads of goofy pictures throughout the park. Definitely my favorite time.

The first day of my honeymoon was my favorite. My husband used gifts of a lifetime to plan a scavenger hunt for me around MK. It was a huge surprise, and a lot of fun. My had breakfast at CRT at a table decorated with confetti, and were given the royal treatment there. We wore our bride & groom mouse ears all day & all the cast members were so nice congratulating us. We were given a "honeymoon" magic moments certificate, and also asked to decorate the Magic Moments tree at Ye Olde Christmas Shop. They gave us a free ornament & another certificate. The entire day was filled with extra pixie dust - truly an amazing place to celebrate.

Avatar picture day

January 18, 2009. DD's 5th birthday. We had surprised her a couple days earlier by flying to Disney for her 5th. On that morning, she woke up at about 5am and was desperately trying to get us going. We ended up the only people on the first bus to MK from Old Key West. At the turnstiles around 6:45am for an 8am opening. We were all set to just sit and play cards. DD was saying Hi to everyone and one CM saw her 'It's My Birthday' button and gave her a ton of stickers. She then proceeded to give them out to all the CMs! Well, she must have hit the right one because we were then invited to be the family of the day. I could spend about 20 minutes and 10 pages of text writing every detail about it, but instead will simply say....it was an amazing experience that I know our DD will be telling her grandchildren about in 70 years!

The best day at Disney is everyday that I am there with my family...

 

[Ilovewishes]

My first trip back to MK as an adult with all my family including 3 newbies - my DH, my sister's DH and my dad. All 3 were Disney cynics and by the end of the day, they were Disney addicts!

It didn't get off to the best start, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't exactly as I remembered it from being a child but after a few character meet and greets and after a cuddle with my all time fave, Pluto, I cheered right up, the magic was back and I just remember sitting and watching Spectro go past and all of us being absolutely blown away by the sheer spectacle of it.

A good day and one I will always remember :sohappy:

Never been a bad day at all. But the best?

The first time my wife went was in 2009. It was all new to her. Not so much to me, but it had been a while for me too. She was excited to see the Castle for the first time down Main Street. I liked how everything fell into place and we had such a magical day. At the end of the day she understood what Disney was all about, it didn't take long.

I can be a bit slow-witted at times but occasionally it pays off. Our best day came when we decided that we needed a real good picture of us in the MK because it was our anniversary. So as soon as we got there we started getting our picture taken by every Photopass person we saw before our hair got messed up ( wife ) and started sweating like a horse ( me ). I saw a CM that I thought was part of Photopass and I asked him to take our picture. Well, he wasn't ( the lack of a camera would have tipped most people off, like I said, sometimes slow-witted ) so we started talking and he asked about our anniversary and how long we were staying and such and come to find out he was the CM who chose the Grand Marshalls for the days parade and he picked us ! See picture above ! To hear your name announced over the PA system at the MK is just too cool. Not to mention getting to ride in Walt's personal parade car. And we almost walked away from him because he kept asking if we had a few hours to spare that afternoon and I thought he was selling DVC.

That must have been awesome!

Well this is an easy one for me, here's a previous post of mine:

Hello all! Just got back yesterday from spending eight days down in Orlando and visiting the World. On our second day, I proposed to my (now) fiancee after the Beauty and the Beast show at DHS. Beauty and the Beast is her favorite Disney movie. She loves Belle. She loved the show when we saw it last year when she was there for the first time. Four months ago I started planning the proposal. I got in contact with the stage manager of the BATB show. My fiancee is usually very good at figuring things out and ruining surprises. Usually the second she sees something a little off she becomes very inquisitive and dwells on it until she figures out what's going on. Due to this, I had to try and make everything seem like it was spur of the moment or I had no control over it.

I arranged for a Disney Photopass Photographer to be at the show. The plan was to "notice" her there and suggest that maybe we get a picture in front of the stage, and eventually work up to getting a picture actually on the stage. Well, before I could even work my way up to the on the stage part, she came right out and said, "Maybe we can get a picture actually on the stage!" I was so excited that she brought it up. It made it seem like it was her idea, helping me keep her in the dark about what was going on. So I went over to the photographer, introduced myself (she knew who I was obviously because it was all arranged for her to be there since there isn't normally a photographer at this show) and told her that I was just pretending to ask permission to take a picture on the stage. After a few moments I turned back around and went back to my fiancee and told her that it was going to be ok and that we could actually do it, we just had to wait for everyone to clear out so that everyone wouldn't see us and want pictures up there too.

So we waited a bit, and then once everyone left we were escorted up on to the stage and we took a few pics. I then suggested we take some fun poses and she suggested dancing but I had something better in mind. I dropped to my knee and proposed. She was completely surprised. After she said yes, the stage manager gave the cue and the curtain was raised to reveal the entire cast of the show waiting there to congratulate us and take pictures with us. The prince presented her with a Princess Engagement package that I purchased through the Disney Florist. We took a few pictures with them and we were on our way. The entire cast and crew and especially the stage manager went above and beyond for us. We were even given fastpasses for the park to be used on any ride and a special one for Toy Story Mania! She told me afterward that the proposal was perfect and she couldn't have asked for anything better. She also assured me that she had absolutely NO idea that I was planning anything. Thank you Disney for an amazing magical moment that the two of us will never forget.
