Close your eyes and blink

GaRain · 08-03-2006, 11:42 AM

Ok, All Ears Net posted a request to have its readers send in their daydreams...close your eyes, click your heels together and blink - now where would you be at WDW?!!!
I think this is a great idea...people sent in all kinds of stories, where they would be if they closed their eyes, even going back in time to revisit some favorite moments and/ or rides that are no longer there.

So, if you closed your eyes, clicked your heels and blinked - where would you be?

space mountain!!!

If I closed my eyes and blinked, I would be back to the first time I took my niece to Walt Disney World. We would be getting onto Big Thunder Mountain and she would be worried, as it was her very first roller coaster. During the ride, I couldn't tell who was screaming more, her or my mom. But when we got off, she was jumping up and down asking to go again.

Not only that, but she also rode Space Mountain in the front seat of the front car. Now, she is a Disney fanatic like me!

I would be on Splash Moutain with all my friends. It was there first time there and my 7th, so I knew all about the dips. It was a great time, and I have the picture to show, we filled our own boat, it was a great time.

I have a similar story, this would be 1981, my first visit to the Magic Kingdom. I was eleven, my sister was 9, waiting in the looooong line for BTMRR in mid-July. My sister jumping up and down, sooo excited to ride it, me petrified. We finally get on, I ended up loving it, she cried the whole time and wanted it to stop. Nowadays she gets on every coaster she can find, the bigger the better.

My close your eyes and blink contribution would be this, same trip, it's late at night, we're on the monorail pulling away from the Magic Kingdom and me feeling so happy and sad at the same time. That was a very emotional moment for little 11 year old me, I'll never forget it.

With so many wonderful memories how could I pick just one

????

I'll start with this one... I would be back at Animal Kingdom, 3 years ago, watching my children's faces light up when they get to meet Mickey for the first time.

I'll post another one later...

whises.dreams · 08-03-2006, 09:55 PM

I would be back in Cinderella's Castle having breakfast w/ the Princess and watching the joy and amazement in my girls eyes. As they truly thought they were Princesses themselves.

Me...*sigh*...

I would be in the Fort Wilderness Campground with my Mom & Dad still married. I would be five or six again. And we would all be together again, no worries. We would be riding around on the golf cart, playing on the park, watching late night movies while making smores. And we would all be in our wonderful old leaky pop-up camper. I would be sleeping on one side, wrapped up in my sheets and my parents together on the other side. We would be traveling around Bay Lake and the Seven Seas Lagoon on the big boats that take you from resort to the Magic Kingdom. And when we would be going back to the campsite after a long and fun day at the Magic Kingdom, I would be placed between my loving parents, fast asleep. And with each morning, we would wake up to cereal in the camper to start another great day. We would go to River Country and swim around, follow the colorful birds (it edits the word p.e.a.c.o.c.k. for some reason

) around the Campground and even go out for dinner at Crockett's Tavern, which was when it was a real restaurant.

I miss my parents being married so much. I am happy that they found someone, but I miss those memories of going to Walt Disney World all together as a family. Enjoying all those times with joy, chaos, mystery, and excitement. If I could be any where and when, that is where I would be. Never to leave, so I would never have to see the separation of my parents.
