Where in WDW is your “happy place”?

[joanna71985]

Hoop Dee Doo Revue. It's my favorite restaurant on property (and I go once a month)

 

[NickMaio]

TTA at night. I could ride that for hours.

Actually I have so many happy WDW places.
So special to us

For me it's walking thru Frontierland into Liberty Square.

Ye Old Christmas Shop in Magic Kingdom

When you are walking into Epcot and see Spaceship Earth and hear that fantastic Future World music. Love it so much!

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

The BoardWalk Resort's definitely a cool place

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?

Retro WDW has a file of that radio loop on their website, I believe

Anywhere inside EPCOT Center's Future World, circa 1982 to about 1998. Specifically, Wonders of Life, CommuniCore/InnoVentions, and underneath Spaceship Earth. Despite not actually visiting for the first time until two days ago (god it was so cool, nowhere near as horrible in it's modern incarnation as it was built up to be), I've always been obsessed with the park since seeing Mr.Bergeron walk around it during one of those AFV shows where they were giving away a Disney vacation, some time in around 2004 or 2005. The entire park, to this day in some places, has this ultra 70s & 80s American shopping mall vibe to it, which I have intense nostalgia for since my mom would take me around to local malls as a wee bab when there was nothing else to do. I like InnoVentions and CommuniCore because of all the rad exhibits, including an extensive one for SEGA in the mid 90s heavilly featuring one of my favorite games of all time, NiGHTS into Dreams, later in the exhibit's run. I also fell in love with the Japan and Mexico pavilions during my visit, Japan because I'm a filthy weeaboo, and Mexico for the ridiculously intricate theming all around the inside of the marketplace-themed building. One of my fondest memories from the trip was riding Gran Fiesta Tour. Not because of the ride itself, hell no, knock-off possibly racist and even more lame Small World has no place in my heart, replace it with Coco at any time, please. The experience was so enjoyable and special to me because there was a family of actual Mexicans behind me, laughing, joking, and singing along with the traditional songs the entire time, at the end they all simultaneously shouted, "VIVA MEXICOOO!!!".

The TTA. Hands-down!

In front of he castle watching the fireworks. Looking at your family as they finish there ice cream and stare into the sky with smiles on there faces.

1. Pirates entrance at MK
2. Tower of Terror (was one of the first guest riders prior to open, wooo woo)
3. Anywhere at the Caribbean beach.

this

or

 

[larryz]

Any restaurant where I'm sitting behind an empty plate with what's left of a huge, rare, well-seasoned porterhouse steak on it.

 

[MinnieWaffles]

Another vote for the TTA at night, or MK super late at night in front of the castle.

MK, Epcot, and HS are all different places at night (AK wasn't open at night the last time I was there). Both the Mansion and Pirates are almost like new rides at night because your eyes aren't adjusting from being outside in bright sunshine. Details practically jump out at you. I used to feel the same way about Great Movie Ride (RIP). I don't know if these are still around, but Future World used to have fiber optic lights in the pavement that would create a sparkling walkway around the fountain. I love the parks at night almost more than during the day.

 

[donnylambb]

Anywhere in EPCOT

 

[crxbrett]

Another one I forgot to add to my list - a nice, loud, beautiful, summer electrical storm anywhere at the resort. One of my favorite things about Disneyworld are the really amazing and always impressive thunderstorms in the summer. It's a big part of why I have only ever visited during the Jul-Sep months.

 

[bebert]

Fountain of Nations. Usually take a break there at some point during the trip to just unplug (as much as you can at EPCOT) and sit with my kids and watch the show.

 

[Kristopher Rannells]

Trader Sam's. I'm always really happy there, especially after about an hour!

So true
