What are the top 10 little things at WDW that excite you?

[Erika]

The monorail "Por favor..."

Seeing a child meeting a favorite character for the first time

Catching the first glimpse of the castle from the bus

Walking under the train station into Main Street

Waking up in the morning and realizing I'm at WDW.

Arriving at the resort and receiving maps/brochures/room keys... at this point I practically fly to the room to dump our stuff!!

The music...anywhere!

Catching the Streetmosphere performers

Stepping out of the hotel room to a warm morning, knowing it's 40 degrees F back home

Stepping onto the boat at IASW (sorry, Jer :lol: )

10.Seeing the smiles on my children's face when they see Mickey, Donald, Goofy. Just seeing the excitement in their expressions means more than anything else to me... B/c that is how I felt when I was young, well, and continue to feel now.

We took our daughter for her first trip this year and I have to agree, nothing could be better...

Another great Mr. Toad thread !! I have to explain a little bit the first one on my list. I have 4 children, but they range in age from 25 to 4 !

1. Posing my children in the same places throughout the parks to compare over the years.

2. The Mickey flower bed outside the Magic Kingdom.

3. Cinderella's wishing well.

4. The dancing water fountains.

5. topiaries

6. Nuzzling the big draft horses.

7. The wooden rocking chairs outside Country Bears. If I squint my eyes just a little, I can almost see my Dad sitting there.

8. That moment when my children ask "are we really here? " and I can say "yes."

9. The cool dank feel and smell as you descend into POTC.

10. The wooden bridge from Main St to Adventureland. I'll miss the sound a stroller makes going over it !

7) FastPass...those waits can suck if you are so anxious to ride....
8) "Por favor...blah blah blah... and the Spanish speech on the trams...
