Each of us has special moments that remind us of one of the greatest vacation spot in the world. A lot of posters made me think of when I was younger and the first time I vacationed at Disney World and made me smile. Now that I’m older, it still holds a very special spot in my life and each time I plan a trip I get just as excited.
Here’s mine warm and fuzzy moments:
Booking the trip = waiting for months for the day we finally get to go to Disney
Driving down I4 = Seeing all of the signs for the Resort and getting closer and closer
Arriving at the resort = Pulling up in our car, giving our name, parking, and then jumping out of the car (and almost running) to check in
Getting the “keys” to the room = Finally getting into the room and taking a big breath of that Disney “air”. There’s a smell (probably the dirty filter) but it links me to when I was little and finally being on vacation at my favorite place (no matter how old I am now).
Finally getting to a Park = Which ever Park, it doesn’t matter, I’m at Disney. But each park has something special to me:
MK = Walking under the train station, smelling the popcorn, seeing all of the characters, and then you see it. Cinderella’s Castle. No matter how many times I see it, it still amazes me how beautiful it is.
EC = Although SSE is the Icon, I get the warm and fuzzies after I pass SSE, walk up the slight hill, pass the fountain, and look out onto the World Showcase. What a sight!
DHS = Seeing my Favorite Character’s “Hat” as I walk down Hollywood Blvd.
AK = Walking through the Oasis and seeing the tree of life.
Besides physically being there, the things that get me all warm and fuzzy are watching the Disney TV commercials, the you tube videos, and reading the posts on this site.
Thank you all for taking me away for the few moments as I read and day dream back to my favorite place.
