What Makes Your Disney Vacation Magical?

Leaving the real world (and all its stresses and problems) and entering another.

Escaping from the real world for a little bit.

Leaving for home and still having a dollar in my wallet... That's magic alright.

Eating at places I don't have at home.

What makes it magical for me is standing in line at the airport, standing in line to get on/off the plane . Standing in line at the bus terminal, standing in line at the the hotel to get the room, standing in line to the bus to get to the park, standing in line to get in the park, standing line to get on the ride ... lol .. I love DW.

Not having to worry about anything and just letting go. We Americans do not vacation like other places in the world. We take the stress of work and life with us. I have found I do that myself on vacations to other places, but not Disney. I know I can't get 100% away from work. But, I can leave most of it at home. If I can spend 15 minutes in the morning to save me from a 3 hour call while at the parks, I choose to login for a few minutes. Since I wake up so early, it is no big deal. Plus, I can pass items off to my counterparts in China to manage.

But seriously, same here. I will always have minor work to do, but the cut off from the rest of the world is much more complete inside The World.

FINALLY being able to live out for real, all those plans and dreams I had been working on for so long. Seeing and experiencing the joy and happiness it brings to myself and my family members.

DVC membership because I always know when I will be back and can keep trips booked pretty much year around. Growing up we would go every year or so but I would always wonder when we'd be coming back and it would make me really sad. I still get sad when every trip winds down and we take 3 a year BUT I love the feeling of knowing when I'll be back. It's magical to me that a place I've been to tons of times can always leave me wanting more and offer me a product that allows to me have the assurance that I'll always have a "place" there.

Everything that's been mentioned.
Everything else everyone is feeling that hasn't been mentioned.
Memories from when I was a kid to when my kids were little to all the fun we look forward to now that they're teens.
It's home.
I don't have to think.
I don't have to do.
I can just be...happy.
