Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

Whenever I’m in a painful situation (like getting a cavity filled) or a “push through” situation (like finishing the last mile of a tough run), I go to my happy place. Shockingly, mine is at WDWI assume most of yours are, too.
Specifically, I transport myself to walking down Mainstreet USA first thing in the morning when I can hear the music in the background and really smell the bakery and Starbucks.
What’s your WDW happy place?

Resort: Sitting in a rocking chair on The Boardwalk porch admiring the views of the lake and people watching
MK: Like many others, hearing the music as you enter Space Mountain - brings back childhood memories of the early 80s, the atmosphere and architecture of Liberty Square
Epcot: World Showcase area. In particular, scoring a table at the Rose and Crown bar, enjoying a Schofferhofer grapefruit beer and pretzel in Germany while sitting on a nearby bench
HS: riding the Rock N Roller Coaster, the moments just before the Tower of Terror slings you up and down, and getting a barstool at the 50s Prime Time bar drinking Dad's Electric Lemonade and Magical Star Cocktail - love the retro atmosphere!
AK - Pandora and hopping on the banshee on Flight of Passage

Possibly an odd one but I really like sitting outside Sleepy Hollow in the shadow of the Castle. Usually with a Presidential sweet but they have lots of delicious snacks on offer.

I had a surreal experience once. I was in the World Showcase after Illuminations and was separated from my party.
My youngest son was on my shoulders. After waiting a while we began walking toward China, from Japan. The crowds
were thinning out and then the bridge was open near China. We had to walk all the way in the other direction. It was
quieter and a bit darker. Very memorable, but a unusual experience.

Reading this thread makes me happy. Not only do I share almost all of the sentiments being posted here, but it’s nice to know that there are so many other people out there who feel just as I do about WDW.

The Haunted Mansion at night or my first ride of my vacation on Spaceship Earth.
My favorite "happy places" that no longer exist: Journey into Imagination and the spot on the highway when you could start picking up the WDW Info radio station. When I was a kid, that was the spot when I knew that happy times were ahead.

Holy crap!! Are you me? My favorite spots have changed over the years, but what you just mentioned will always be some of my favorite childhood memories.
EDIT: Speaking of the WDW radio, does anyone know where one could dig up a recording of that whole loop that used to play on that station?

I never would have guessed from your avatar.
I do miss the classic Dreamfinder ride. A buddy of mine was in the first cast of the Laugh Floor (and is still there) and worked with Ron Schneider (original walkaround Dreamfinder) on it. I totally geeked out on him when I found out. He said he's a fantastic guy.

If I'm having a bad day I like to wish myself on to a gondola slowly traveling through the Haunted Mansion.

I also love the ferry ride to the MK first thing in the morning.

Splash Mountain, the first lift and then the bit where you hit the water and hear “How Do you Do” the first time right before the cabbage patch.
