Probably the time my DH and I walked thru the front doors of the WL for the first time and the look on his face was priceless because it meant he'd come back again and again "willingly"!

I have many of them as well; my top 3 would be.
1. Watching my son, and the look on face, when he accidently walking into “My Disney Girls Perfect princess tea.”
2. Watching wishes from the roof of the Contemporary on my DS’ birthday and him telling me “Thanks dad this was the best birthday ever.”
3. Telling my wife “I told you so” after we rode Mission Space for the first time. In those days there was only the extreme version and she kept says that the ride was very mild and okay for our DS who was 5 years old at the time. It made the vomit I had to clean up from both of them worth it.

Last year when I went, I stayed on WDW property for the first time. I just remember the awesomeness of it all and seeing the drawings in the Art of Animation lobby. I thought it was so cool.

Watching my two children walk hand in hand with Mickey and Minnie upon the opening of Hollywood Studios one morning! (circa early 90's).

In 2011 my wife and I had the oppurtunity to take both of our boys on their first week long trip to Disney. On the second night that we were there I made reservations for us at Chef's Mickey. We weren't on the dining plan so I paid out of pocket. I remember seeing the look on my oldest son's face (who was 4 at the time) during dinner and the turning to my wife to tell her that paying $125.00 for a buffet was well worth it.

On my last night at Disney World in 2011, my family and I headed to the Magic Kingdom. I wore a t-shirt that said "Think Orange. Love Your Team". I think the security guard thought I was referring to the University of Florida. I quickly explained it's referring to Syracuse University.

One evening at closing my oldest daughter was sitting on a bench all by herself, a manager clearing the park stopped and "pixie dusted" her. It was the sweetest thing. Lots of little memories like that one is what keeps us anxious for our next trip! BTW 11 more Mondays and we'll be making memories again!!

The first time my daughter saw Tinker Bell "flying" overhead. She reached her little hand up and shouted "she's real!" As little happy tears rolled down her cheeks. Nothing will ever beat that for me. By far the best reaction any of my children have had there.

Some of my favorites include
- meeting all seven of the dwarfs on Main Street when I was 3. They took so much time to interact with me. It was incredible and I wish things like that still happened.
- riding Splash Mountain in the rain
- first ride on Expedition Everest with my entire immediate family (it was a lot of fun)
- first experience on Tower of Terror (my first 'thrill ride')

Fortunately there have been many memorable ones but (in my head now) the two most for me are 1) when Captain Hook appeared from backstage and "stole" my son's (3 yr old at the time in 2008) pirate sword before posing for pics and 2) In Dec '12 trip, my daughter got to ride the Tea Cups with Alice.

Maybe more a magical moment. Walking from BC to back entrance of Epcot we say a young boy dressed as Peter Pan with his grandmom. My sister just happen to have a Peter Pan pin in here pocket that she was planning on trading. She gave him the pin and he wouldn't take it unless she would trade it foe one of his. He was so cute.

June 2011 my DD (Maeve) and I had an early ADR at The Plaza. While waiting for our table a manager started chatting with my DD about her name and where we were from. I told him we were in town for SWW. He gave us each a Celebrate button with our names/SWW on them and showed us to our table. Partway through our meal the Mayor comes in the restaurant and says he has to go out of town and has to elect a Jr. Mayor of Magic Kingdom for the day. He came right to our table and bestowed the honor on Maeve with the blue ribbon, an oath of office and fastpasses for the day. I cried lol.
Fast forward September 2012 We took my niece to The Plaza. We arrived shortly before they opened having one of the first ADRs of the day. While waiting the hostess asked my niece and Maeve their names and they talked about MNSSHP we had been to the prior evening. She said she would call their names when it was time. Well we got seated and midway into our meal I see the Fire Marshall outside. I told my niece he was going to name someone Jr. Mayor so we were looking at all the kids in the restaurant. The Fire Marshall comes in and says the Mayor is golfing for the day and needs a Jr. Mayor to do his duties...and walks our table...and proclaims Maeve to be Jr. Mayor of Magic Kingdom AGAIN! Another blue ribbon, oath of office and fastpasses for the day! This time I didn't cry, I think I was in shock.

Lots of great memories...but one that stands out...
It was a rainy, late September...it rained everyday, all day of this trip...it wasn't a tropical system/hurricane. We have a photo of the kids (4 & 6) sitting, side by side, in their Mickey ponchos at the bus depot at CBR. They were just under the covering and looking down the road for the bus. It became the cover photo of that trips scrapbook...kind of summed it all up...it might be raining but we were going to the parks!!!

We were at akershus and Snow White kissed my DS on the forehead. It left a perfect red apple lip print. We left them on for the rest of the day. We would pass knowing people and the would say "looks like Snow White got to him!" Loved it

Most memorable moment (and one I share with anyone and everyone) - MK EMH. Park was basically empty. After going on BLSRS a dozen times in a row, we decided to hit up BTMRR. Inexplicably, the four of us decided that the best way to make BTMRR even better would be to yell throughout the entire ride. Against all odds, people on our train started to join in. We rode that over and over, and each time more and more people joined in.
Later, in a queue for another ride, a father and his young son came up to us "Hey, aren't you those screaming guys?" We replied in the affirmative and they immediately got in line behind us. They wanted to keep the fun going!
I swear - Disney is magic.
