What Time?

What time of day no matter where you are on property just screams I'm at Disney? Is it the hustle and bustle at rope drop? The vibe change after dark? Is it during a mid-day parade? Or sometime completly different?

It's about 5AM when I start getting myself ready, relaxing outside watching what critters come bye, and right about when I am finishing up work so I can enjoy the day at the parks.

Yes, I do work while I am on vacation. If not, I would be worried about it the whole time. Instead of spending 20-30 hours to have someone do my job wrong, I can spend an hour or so early in the mornings having it done right. Since I am up at the crack of stupid and absolutely NOTHING is going on anyway, might as well keep caught up.

I wish it were that easy. However, it has NEVER interfered with a trip. Trust me, 2AM-5AM, there is absolutely nothing going on except for some animals doing freaky things and some people trying to be like the animals doing freaky things on property. I have never worked more than an hour so it is all good.

Hold the phone..2am-5am? When do you sleep? However I can understand that some people in certain jobs need to be at the helm ( running own business etc ) :)

The whole time I'm there :)
Every time of the day screams Disney.From morning till night.;)

That's the truth. But there is a special magical atmosphere change that happens at night. When the evening lights come on and I'm standing at the hub looking at the castle then turn around to look back down Main street, it's so wonderfully Disney. Or at EP when the torches flame up around the lake.

Nighttime really does seen to have that effect! We went to Vegas a few years ago and it was AWESOME at night!!

I think just being out, when you know normally you'd be at home watching trash TV or doing homework or something, brings out that "EEEEEK IM ON VACATION" in us all! LOL

Lunch time. Especially at hotels. It's not like at breakfast where everyone comes in small 30 minutes or so intervals, it seems like everyone eats lunch at the same time... including my family.

For me, it is before I even get into the parks. If I'm not having breakfast on property I'll stop by the McDonalds in the Four Corners plaza (across the street from the Downtown Disney property entrance) and have one of their platters. It is at that point that the excitement climaxes and I'm like "yup, another day at Disney!"

I only sleep about 4-5 hours a night. So, if I am up like I always am, there is very little to do. I will login, do some work, look at what is going on at the park we are going to, and post about the trip. If I am really lucky, I will doze off for 30-45 minutes again at about 5:30. Then, it is time to get ready to go to the park.

I do love that about Vegas. Going in the summer may be miserable hot during the day, but it's awesome when it's like 80 degrees at 3am.

100% no question at night. I mean I'm constantly in my DisneyEuphoria while there, but once its really dark and every thing is light up thats when It hits me. Walking to TOT at night can't be beat. But hands down the MK at night is my Sh#t. Every area is lite perfectly. Something about that stretch from SPL.M to HM makes me feel like I'm 10yrs old again, prob the only place on earth you'll ever see this tattoed 6ft 250lb man skipping. just dont tell anyone;).

Lucky you.Saying that I must admit I do very little sleeping whilst at WDW.Maybe about 6 to 7 hrs compared to 9 to 10 hrs at home.Hey! Why is that???:confused:
