Disney Memory In 4 Words

BamaJenn · 08-04-2007, 06:12 PM

I thought this might be fun... got the idea from another forum (non-Disney) I visited.

Everyone has a favorite Disney memory to tell and when given the chance to write sentence after sentence, they all seem fairly different. When given 4 words however you might be amazed to see just how similar your Disney memory is to someone else's.

So... I'll start out as the example. Feel free to add a little detail after your 4 words if you are just dying to explain them.

Aaron's First Disney Trip

There's nothing better than seeing your child's eyes light up on that first trip to Disney.

Daughter chasing Mickey's parade

My DD's first trip, she was in her stroller half-asleep watching the afternoon parade. Mickey & friends passed by, but Mickey was high up on the float and she didn't really see him. A few floats more pass, and suddenly she screams "MICKEY!!!" bolts out of her stroller, and starts running down Main Street towards the float that had passed by earlier, with mom in pursuit. Trying to get her back to our bit of sidewalk, we ended up in a conga line with fish from The Little Mermaid. Unforgettable!

Stuck on Thunder Mountain

A storm hit and the BTMRR computers stopped us part way round for about 15minutes, we had to be released and walked back through the mountain

Where are the brakes!?!

I always have to ride Star Tours multiple times whenever I'm at MGM. I love that ride and know the whole script and most of the queue by heart. It's the combination of two of my favorite things: Star Wars and Walt Disney World.

Where is our ride?!

The first time we flew to WDW our shuttle service to take us back to the airport never picked us up so we had to catch a cab that was suppose to be paid by the shuttle service that never showed up. When we finally got to the airport....an hour before our flight....the taxi driver demanded money and my mom almost got into a fight with our very foreign taxi driver.... what a memory. yikes! Thank goodness for Disney's Magical Express.

Our First Disney Trip

We went to disney together as a couple for the first time in 2000. That trip will always define WDW for us.

Ice Cream During Storm

We went to MK ( again ) on the 5th day we were there in July. We were at the end of Main Street just as the afternoon parade was ending and here comes the cloudburst! We ducked into the ice cream parlor that was behind us to clear the sidewalk and get out of the rain. We had never been in there before! The Cm that took our order was an older gentleman who really played the " old fashioned " theme to the hilt!!! He joked around with the kiddo's and had us sing happy b-day to a fellow CM. I think that was the best ice cream we've ever had!!!!!

Segway Around The World

One of the most phenomenally awesome experiences I've ever had at Disney, was taking the 2 hour Segway tour around the World Showcase at Epcot. The machines were just plain fun, not to mention shockingly intuitive. The "obstacles" they had us do in each of the pavilioins were very enjoyable and really gave us a feel for what they could do, and our tourguides gave us endless amounts of knoweldge about each of the 11 pavilions. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

Elderly Parent With Mickey

My mother went to a WDW for the first time when she was in her mid 70's. She was just as excited to have her picture taken with Mickey for the first time as most other visitors 1/10 of her age. Mom turns 95 in a few weeks, and I know she hopes to make it to WDW at least one more time.

Husband's First Trip 2000!

This was his first trip to disney, it was mine 12th so I knew everything and what to expect, seeing his face was great. He didn't think he would enjoy himself. But know he has been back every year since. The first time, they pulled him out of a crowd to play Hot Potato with little kids. It was so funny.

I'll copy yours and say: "Husband's First Trip 2004"! It was my 9th or 10th and I'm right there with you.
