What is meet by Magic?

[bethymouse]

I strive to have a "magical day" EVERY day!

How can anyone deny that WDW is magical? As much as I have my gripes with things, they somehow keep me going back year after year after year, spending all my hard earned money. If there's not something magical about it, then they're tampering with the water in Lake Buena Vista.

-The Magic Kingdom opening show.
-The end of Wishes.
-Illuminations.
-Just sitting on a bench with a box of popcorn staring at the castle.
-Riding some of the classics with my kids.
-Eating an ice cream, caramel apple or cotton candy with my kids.

If those type of things can bring a grown man to tears, even after seeing or doing them hundreds of times, then I'd say there's something magical about the place.

There you go.You've just summed it up perfectly.

Regardless what D&Gs think, (gee, up til now, I always though D&G stood for Dolce and Gabbana) there is a special *magic* element to a Disney vacation. The world is miles away when Im on the Poly beach, and *magically* the skies seem a little bluer, attitudes a bit more positive. The ability of being able to relive my childhood as well as my son's, has a certain magical quality to it. I've said this before, everyone has a right to voice their opinions, but if you feel it necessary to growl at a hard working CM, just for wishing you a magical day, perhaps it's time to find another vacation destination, no? Enjoy your trip, chin up and please, don't growl or bite any of the CMs!!

Love this.You know I had a friend whose attitude was similar to the OP. Humbug he would say,Magic indeed.I told him dont forget to pack the most important thing in his suitcase.His imagination,without it,there is no magic.

I do think the term is very much overplayed by Disney today. Everything is Magical® and Dreams®. Use something too much and it breaks. To me Disney has killed a lot of the meaning behind the word because so often it used to describe something that is quite lousy or lacking.

I really don't know anything about magic, but I do know about whimsy, fun, and entertainment. It's a theme park, flaws and all, and it makes us happy when we go. Tag it with whatever terminology you desire.

After three years of fighting cancer I am cancer free. Now the surgeries, radiation and chemo certainly played a role. But, the magic of four trips to Disney in that time gave me the attitude and will to keep up the fight.

"Magic" is checking the spelling on a thread title before hitting submit.

Lyrics from another good friend. " The evening plane rises up from the runway, over constellations of light.I look down into a million houses,and wonder what your doing tonight.If I could wave my magic wand,I'd make everything all right "

When I opened my business 28 years ago , my FIL who had his own business told me the best advice... You try to do the best you can to serve your customers but know there are a small percentage of people you will never be able to satisfy. You could give them gold and it wouldn't be enough. Do the best you can and know at the end of the day you pleased the majority of them and they will come back. Sorry you can't find the MAGIC in Disney, but keep looking and maybe someday it will find you. As far as me & my family... the magic lives.

Not another member of the " Doom & Gloom " society,must be something in the air today.Let me read your thread again. "You've been to WDW dozens of time and you don't think it's magical "? Why go? If someone says to you " have a magical day " you growl at them. Hold the phone,I do appologise ,I know who you are now. Your Grumpy.Tell Snow White I was asking for her.

My thoughts exactly!

Disney World is magical.

No contest.

Agreed

Google's definition of 'magic':

• As a noun, 'magic' can be defined as a quality that makes something seem removed from everyday life, especially in a way that gives delight.
• 'Magic' as an adjective can be used to describe something that is wonderful or exciting.

For me, 'magic' is the only word I can use to describe WDW. Whether its my childhood memories that come flooding back or look on my wife and children's faces when we are in the 'World, the emotions that I experience are undeniably 'magical' in every way and are most definitely real.

Completely agree

This sums it all up for me
Disagreements at time man but glad to see you stay around
