The first time I took my daughter to Disney World.
- Reaching the top of Spaceship Earth, your vehicle rotating, the music picking up, and then having a view of the stars as the narrator states, "... YOUR Spaceship Earth."
- "We're not gonna make it... We're not gonna make it!"
- Seeing both Spaceship Earth and Cinderella's Castle for the first time on your trip.
- Going down the drop on Splash Mountain while Wishes is playing.
-- Riding Mr. Toad over and over again, back when a) Mr. Toad still existed and b) the lines in Fantasyland were reasonable enough to actually allow multiple re-rides.
-- The cool Mickey ear balloons within a balloon
-- Big Al
-- Huge glass mugs etched with your name from a shop on Main Street
Getting stopped by an animal in the road on the Safari
Chocolate covered marshmallow while waiting for the mighty Spectromagic.
The cymbals in Spectromagic.
Singing to Spectromagic and not caring who hears.
Filming the Hunchback show (best live show ever) because it's your dad's favourite and you love & appreciate him so much for bringing you to WDW. (while holding back on aforementioned singing so that you dont spoil the film).
Getting home to play back your videos to find you have indeed sung all the way through the Fantasy in the Sky fireworks...badly.
The old gondola ride from Frontierland to TommorrowLand
The look in my childrens eyes when we approached the big welcome archway on the road into Disney World.
Riding the Wedway People mover.
Singing with the Dapper Dans on Main Street after their set is done. If you let them know that you have sung barbershop before, they will often invite you to join them in a song after they finish their set.
Riding the Tower of Terror early in the morning and running right back to the entrance to do it again.
Walking across the bridge from Jamaica to Port Royale early in the morning at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Everything is calm, quiet, peaceful and beautiful in the early morning stillness.
2.) Finding that one last pin on a Cast Member's
lanyard that you need to complete your collection!
3.) Being the only one on a Disney Transport bus and
talking with the driver!
4.) When the video on the Magical Express bus starts and
the next thing you know, you're at Disney!
Attending the final session for the American Idol Experience at Disney Hollywood Studios and getting to vote for the best of the best...just vote quickly or you will be locked out!
Booking an appointment for your 60 year old husband to get his hair cut at the Main Street Barber Shop and knowing that he will love the experience even though he just had a haircut last week in preparation for holiday time
