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&#8217;s shirt!

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. (&#8220;Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy&#8221;), 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 &#8220;Disney&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Published on:<\/strong> May 4, 2011<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1920 \" title=\"Magical Memory 5-4 Full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/Magical-Memory-5-4-Full.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"318\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We finally got to meet Mickey when we ate at Chef Mickeys!

We were at the Magic Kingdom, because it is our family tradition &#8212; 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, &#8220;Let&#8217;s ride that.&#8221; 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 &#8212; it was the DAPPER DANS!! It is my son&#8217;s dream to be a Dapper Dan and when they just appeared and began serenading us it was a truly magical moment!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Published on:<\/strong> Jan 12, 2011<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s memory was submitted by John B.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this counts as a magical disney memory&#8230; 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h4>Incoming search terms:<\/h4><ul><li>fedzil<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In each issue, we feature a magical memory submitted by one of our readers.
