Magical Moments

My parents & I took my niece to WDW for the first time when she was 4. We were lucky enough to have breakfast at Cinderella's table and it was all she could talk about the day before. When we got there it was just like the commercial with the little boy meeting Mickey Mouse - not a word. She just stared at each Princess with her mouth agape. She maybe shook her head or uttered a grunt or two but she was literally speechless. They were of course, incredibly sweet to her (I'm sure she wasn't the first awe-struck little princess). -- Donna

My first trip to Disneyland was in 1970. I was 21 years old and had a fun day but nothing spectacular. My first trip to Walt Disney World was in 1985. It was the most memorable experience of my life and started a life long love for Disney. The reason that it was so memorable was because I had my 3 children with me. Seeing the park through their eyes was unbelievable. They glowed for the 2 weeks we spent there and so did their parents. We continue to visit Disney every few years as $$$ permits and I'm proud to say that my "children" are now in their 20's and 30's and still want to go on vacation with us to the most magical place on earth. -- Elaine Mahoney

i feel the need to share one of our special moments at mgm.My son loves the indiana jones show and on our last day of our vacation December 2002 we sat for every single show available that day.We would see a show go on a ride,see a show etc.He was 5 at the time and very insistent on this routine.You know at the end of every show he had to go down and meet the cast and get some auotographs.Well,it just so happened that Indy realized the time we were putting in at the show.He called the production manager over stating Jarrod was the shows number one fan.He gave him a magical moments certificate and HIS hat.My son was thrilled and took alot of convincing that he could not wear the hat forever.He loved telling people "Indy gave it to me!!!..............The Cobb Family

A couple of months ago I went with my girlfriend and my brother's family to the Magic Kingdom. It was our last day, and we were planning on leaving the park and going straight home on a four hour trip to Miami. We knew we'd be tired, we knew we'd be hating life the next day, as it would be Monday, and we'd have to go to work. We didn't care. Nighttime arrived and we ended up in the Emporium and lingered, and lingeredŠ.it was obvious we were trying to squeeze as much pixie dust out of our vacation as possible. We finally finished purchasing all our pins, shirts, trinkets, refrigerator magnets, toys and hats, and found ourselves sitting on the curb licking our ice cream cones, watching the last signs of humanity walk toward the exits. It finally happened that Main Street's only inhabitants were us. No guests, cast members, cleaning crew, no one. It was surreal. I picked up my two year old niece and stood in the middle of Main Street looking at the castle change from one radiant hue to another. The music continued to play as if it was just for us. Someday My Prince Will Come started playing throughout Main Street, and I couldn't help myself; I began to waltz with my niece singing her the song under the lights and the music. Her eyes sparkled and she beamed at me. It was magical. There have been a few times that I have had a genuine, ear to ear smile that completely symbolized what my soul was feeling. This was one of those times. It's proof that magic does exist, and a lot of it can be found at Walt Disney World.----- Charlie, Miami,FL

I've got a few stories about my Disney experience.

When I was about nine-years-old, I was watching the afternoon parade at Disneyland for their 35th Anniversary (I believe--it was around in late 80's to early 90's), with my family. The parade was a Marti Gaud theme, and right in the middle of the parade they pulled me into the parade and danced with the crew. I thought I was so cool that I was pulled into the parade and dancing with the dancers.-- Lori (LoriMistress)
