Favorite moment

[Lightyear999]

Any time we drive through the entrance gates and realize we are back to the magic. any time we first see Cinderella Castle on a trip we know we are home. There are too many individual moments at Disney to count. So many special times.

Yes.

I was awestruck

There are so many from the first time I passed under the Walt Disney World sign, the first time walking up MSUSA, meeting Figment!, my ds was the rebel spy twice in a day (big SW fan), him also being in the parade for SWW, first adult beverage in EPCOT LOL so many more I can't even list them all. I think my absolute favorite was when he got to pull the sword out of the stone.

Too many to count as I have been going to Disney since I was 2(1980). One that does stick out was when i took my son. He was 3 and it was his first trip. We had been there a few days and were going back to MK and as we pass through the gates he just runs. He takes off screaming "castle, castle!" He was running because he wanted to see the castle again. With my other son, the first time he saw a character he freaked. We went to Chef Mickeys to save on all the time waiting in line (the prices at Chef Mickey's were a little more reasonable back then). He did warm up to them though and took pictures with everyone. He still wants to go back to Chef Mickey's on every trip and he's turning 11 next month. My two year old daughter actually lunged at Mickey on our last trip. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

First time my husband and I went together and I got to share all of the magic of WDW with him!! He had only been once when he was very little and didn't remember anything.

There are certainly more than I can count, but one of our favorites happened before we even got to the MK once many years ago. We were taking our then 5 and 6 year old sons to the MK for a surprise day trip. It was the 5 year old's birthday. When they got in the car, we just said we're going for a short trip. Well, they both fell asleep almost immediately. We drove the hour to Disney, and the youngest woke up right before we went under the WDW sign. When his older brother woke up a few minutes later, he asked "where are we"? Before we even had a chance to answer, our younger son said "we're in Disney, dummy". We both lost it, and still use that line today on the older son (now 22) whenever we go.

My favorite moment was 5 or 6 years ago. I took my daughter, now 12 to Akershus for the Princess breakfast.

The look on her face when the princesses came to our table made my heart melt. Too bad the food was awful though. lol

Mines has to be my very first trip when I was only 7. I was an absolute huge fan of Tigger (still am!) and when I saw him in the parade he took me out to dance in front of everyone. Another one would have to be walking down Main Street for the first time. It's those kind of memories that make you feel so blessed !

Our family was on one of those small boats going over to MK for the MNSSHP in torrential rain. Our costumes were COMPLETELY soaked by the time the boat got there. Some other passengers on the boat felt so sorry for us that they actually took off their ponchos and gave them to us so that they got wet instead....an act of kindness we will never forget. We couldn't accept such a wonderful gesture and purchased ponchos at the main service area at MK...we will never forget to bring them in the future!

When I was 4 I got into a huge obsession over Mary Poppins, so much that my imaginary friend was Bert and, that I watched it every single day twice for a year 1/2. My parents got so annoyed with hearing it they got an old TV to put in the basement (its a finished basement/play room) so I could watch it down there. During that obsession, I went to Walt Disney World and met Mary herself. In joy, I began to cry. I was very lucky to meet her too, she was walking away at that time. I still remember that to this day, and it always reminds me of how magical of place WDW is to a child.

Another time is when I first rode Space Mountain. Being the Coaster Junkie I already was for a child, (7 ) I was already freaking my aunt out about how I wasn't scared whatsoever. The line was extremely short that night, it was right during parade time (saw it a couple nights before) and it was a complete walk on line . I had so much fun that I was screaming, laughing, and having a blast. While on though I kept on feeling my aunts are hand reach out and touch my shoulder, apparently she thought I was terrified! When I got out she ran over to me and made sure I was okay, which I was, and had to explain to her that I was happy not scared! We rode it several times that night. It remains one of favorite rides to this day. ^.^

Finishing 1/2 marathons is always a special moment for me. I have completed a total of four between WDW and Dl.

First adult Beverage or First adult beverage in epcot ??

Mine would have to be Proposing to my DW in front of Tinkerbell the first year she started doing meet and greets .
The look on both of their faces was priceless.
