This is me Billy and my sister Karen trying on Christmas hats at Disney World. My sister and Ii were at Disney World on December 2, 2010, for a wonderful week’s vacation to the happiest place in the world. We loved the Christmas decorations and we loved the Christmas parade at night. It was wonderful to watch. (Submitted by William D.)

We just returned from our first WDW trip. We had so much fun, and made so many memories. From meeting all of our favorite princesses, to riding the Teacup ride with Alice and the Rabbit, to our daughter Kylie being chosen to talk to Crush!

This past Christmas, my 4-year old daughter received a t-shirt of Tinkerbell that she could color herself and wear. She was VERY proud of herself for coloring within the lines so the shirt would look nice. When we went to Walt Disney World about a month later, she made a special point of wearing the shirt on a day that we visited Magic Kingdom and visited the fairies. Tinkerbell was quite impressed with the shirt and made sure to take this special pose pointing to herself on my daughter’s shirt! (Submitted by Kristie K.)

Big splash from Splash Mountain!
The girls couldn’t wait for every 3rd coaster to come down the mountain and
give that big splash as they waited on the bridge! (Submitted by Tracey S.)

I love your photos of the week. My 8 year old is obsessed with Hidden Mickeys so he decided he was going to make himself one when we were in Disney World this past April. He goes hysterical every time he looks at this picture. See the magic of Disney puts a smile on our face everyday! ; )

After many magical vacations to Walt Disney World, this year we decided to surprise our boys with a trip to Disneyland, California for Spring Break! Since we live on the east coast it has always been quicker and easier to travel to Florida. And, although we LOVE all that Walt Disney World has to offer (and consider it to be our home away from home), we have never been to CA and thought that it would be a wonderful experience to step foot in the park where Walt Disney himself once walked. What an experience it was too! From the moment my family and I walked through the entrance and read the bronze plaque mounted above the stone archway leading to Main Street, U.S.A. (“Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy”), I was overcome with emotion as tears of joy welled up in my eyes! We are finally here! It was a moment that I will never forget! I am still partial to Walt Disney World, for it is where my love of all things “Disney” first began at age nine, but feel so incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to visit the park that started them all, Disneyland.Tresha T.

We finally got to meet Mickey when we ate at Chef Mickeys! We were all so excited. We loved Goofy too! This trip was a dream come true for all of us. We had the best time of our lives.

Here’s a picture of our magical memory. We went to Disney World about 2 weeks ago, and while there my daughter Anneliese celebrated her 4th birthday (and it was her first trip, as well). She’s very much into princesses (this day was one of only 2 that she didn’t wear a dress to the parks), and on her first full day there she got to meet Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, and her favorite, Belle. I think this picture says it all!

My adult daughter is in love with Eeyore. So imagine how excited she was when Eeyore grabbed a matching stuffed animal for their picture together! It made her entire trip, if not her entire year! Even adult children still feel the magic of Disney!

This week’s memory was submitted by Tammy Hill.

It was the last morning of our week long trip to WDW last March. We were at the Magic Kingdom, because it is our family tradition — we always begin our trip at the Magic Kingdom and end our trip at the Magic Kingdom. We arrived early, as we always do, and were waiting anxiously for Mickey and crew to arrive on the train to welcome us into the park. When the rope dropped we walked through the tunnel and out onto Main Street. It is always our routine to head straight to Space Mountain, but for some reason I looked to the left and saw the horse drawn street car sitting in the circle. I said to my son, “Let’s ride that.” Without hesitation we jumped on and the driver quickly started to head down Main Street. The ride alone was a thrill since we had never taken the time to ride in the street car, but then a man jump on and stood on the outside of the car and then another and then another — it was the DAPPER DANS!! It is my son’s dream to be a Dapper Dan and when they just appeared and began serenading us it was a truly magical moment!

I hope this counts as a magical disney memory… it certainly was for me! My wife, my son, our neighbor and I were all set to enjoy lunch at the plaza in Magic Kingdom. While outside waiting to be seated I noticed the Mayor of Main Street filling out a magical moment certificate. I innocently inquired who it was for and was told it was for a special family inside. Smiling, I carried on not giving it another thought. Once inside however it was a totally different story. The mayor stood in the center of the plaza, asked for silence and proceeded to present the magical moment certificate to a family from Canada (My family was from Canada!), specifically from Nova Scotia (My family was from Nova Scotia!), The BROOKS family to be precise (My family was the Brooks family!). He had drawn up this moment right under my nose and still caught me by surprise. Anyone in my family will tell you that’s not an easy thing to do on a normal day. But, as I learned the fun way, no day is ever normal at Disney World.
