Not a fan of flying, so for me it's as soon as the wheels touch down
safely in Orlando. It's all gravy from that point on.

Its not flying, its hitting the ground in a ball of flames at 600 mph that worries me.

Awww...That too.
Seeing this and knowing you're close.
That's like the first Landmark, though I LOVE getting on a overpass near I-4 and seeing Swan, Dolphin and TOT. :sohappy:

For me the "magic" starts when I walk into the resort lobby and up to the check-in desk and hear the words "Welcome Home!" All the stuff that comes before, the booking, the planning, the flight, the ME bus, is all anticipation leading up to that speclal moment when I know I am really there.

POTC as the last ride is becoming the tradition for me also. My wife made sure of it this last time, just to make me happy. Something about that for me is a perfect close to it all. Well, the only "perfect" way would be to NOT end the trip...but ya know what I mean.

Mine is surely when the Magical Express bus passes under the big sign. The last couple of times I've done that, the bus has erupted into spontaneous applause.
The anticipation builds all the way up to that moment, however: leaving home that morning, getting on the plane, landing at MCO, taking the monorail, going down to the DME counter, and getting on the bus.
Also a very happy moment when the resort check in clerk welcomes me back to WDW. That always gets a big smile from me!

For me it starts when we hit Bronson memorial highway. I ushrualey don't go to any parks for the first couple days.

Everybody has visual cues? Mine's auditory - we always go at Christmas and stay at the Poly. As we drive back to Hawaii and I hear the Pacific Holiday music loop (running through my head right now) I feel an amazing change come over me and know it's time to relax and forget the rest of the world.

Begins for me when we first set foot in the Pop Century lobby and walk up to the check-in desk. Seeing and hearing all the familiar sights and sounds does it for me. :sohappy:

I am not sure if its when we begin the long 900 mile drive knowing how much fun is coming up or walking thru the turnstyles at EPCOT and my son saying to me, We're Here!!!
Mine comes in bursts.
First time is when we decide we will be going
Second when we makie the booking
Thrid when we make ADRS
Fourth when we get on the plane
Fifth when we see the first Disney sign or the first disney property
Sixth when we get to the first park / resort.
