Happy Thoughts

[Littlekitten73]

My happiness meter starts as soon as I see the 'welcome to the happiest place' sign, my heart swells and my eyes tear up, as the kids start shouting we're nearly there, we're neay there from then on in its all magic to me

Standing at the edge of Bay Lake at Fort Wilderness with fishing pole in hand, coffee mug in the other, looking to my left and seeing the top of Space Mountain, hearing the steam train whistle at the Magic KIngdom, watching the sun come up with a bald eagle and owl flying over my head, wait a minute....i've got a bite!

It starts when I pack that first item in my suitcase. Then loading the car up. The entire 7 hour drive to Orlando. Checking in at the resort. Standing in line at the bus stop. Walking down MSUSA. The smile is a fixture on my face the entire time.

-Landing in Orlando International with a booked trip.
- the magical express knowing that from there I have no driving or heavy navigating to do
- walking into magic kingdom
- getting a fast pass for a really cool time like night
- dusk on mainstreet
- Casey's piano player so talented
- when your pictures turn out great
-the grand mariner in France
- splash mountain
- finding an awesome souvenir
- when there's a hot guy playing a disney prince
- timing the bus back to your resort perfectly

This thought: Last time we went (Dec. 2012), we were driving up to Downtown Disney and my daughter (4) was SO INTO her kid tablet, that we got her for the trip, that she didn't realize that we were there. So I turned on my camera and said "Hey baby, look at where we are." She looks up and her mouth falls wide open and she screams "OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! WE ARE AT DISNEY WORLD!!!" MAN!! it was such an awesome moment! I will never forget it

Watching wishes with my family....when the announcer says the lighting will dim and the music finally starts. I get goosebumps thinking about it.

So many happy-inducing moments, I don't think I could pick just one.

Some of them would be...Seeing the Castle on Main Street (especially for the first time in a trip). I will never forget the first time I saw that Castle on our very first trip to WDW. Took my whole families breath away. My dad nearly got run down by the horse carriage trying to video tape it all.

Wishes. What else can be said?

Dinner at Bomo is one of those happy moments on a completely different level.

A hot shower after a long Disney day.

I'll bet many of us could go on and on about those little happy thoughts that WDW brings.

Holding my wife close, with my kids right in front of me, and watching wishes. Something special about us all being so close together and so still at once just soaking it all in.

Family, friends, health - the things money can't buy are always the best. (And money can buy fake friends, but not real ones.)

Checking into our resort, driving under the Walt Disney World sign, stepping into Spaceship Earth, walking down Main Street, seeing my daughter's face when she sees Mickey Mouse....I think those are at the top of my long list. Nice thread Figgy, everyone needed happy thoughts.

Thank you!

Just breathing in that Disney air makes me happy!
I think the happiest I could be in the world is if I could book a trip for all of my family together (Mom, Dad, siblings and everyone's kids)... and then we win the lottery and decide to stay forever

 

[DebDeb]

Spending time and making memories with my sweet family. Disney or not that's what it's all about! But that first glimpse of the castle arm in arm with my loves sure does make me happy, happy, happy!

 

[rsoxguy]

God, grace, and family. The rest is just details, with WDW low on the list. The challenges and trials will continue to come, but peace will always prevail internally.

When driving down we usually come in on the Western Beltway (429) to Western Way. There is an overpass on the toll road where you can see WDW landmarks like SSE and The Contemporary in the distance. But the real happiness hits when walking up to Epcot and hearing the entrance loop.

Hearing my Daughters laughter as she rides the rides & says " I want to do it again!! "

 

[Jane Whalebones]

Pulling onto property under the "Welcome To Disney World" arch. It's as if there is this invisible field that keeps out all my stress and turns me into a kid again. I can play with my children as a "child". We lose track of time and genuinely enjoy each others company. It's like coming home. No matter how many times I go it never changes.

Well Said! It's about making memories that no one can take away from you.

I hate getting my picture taken, but i love standing in line with DW because she is trying to get her picture with every character. I love spotting them for her and i don't mind waiting in line because i know how excited and happy it makes her, on our last trip I spotted Tweedle Dee and Dum by the Tea Cups and she was so excited and had so much fun because she was wearing an Alice shirt so they really did it up with her. Her happiness makes me happy.

I hate having my picture taken...except at WDW...
