Magical Blogorail ~ Most Magical Disney Memories

Welcome to those of you joining me from Disney Donna Kay and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 3rd stop on our Magical Blogorail.

Here are some of my most magical Disney moments:

Magic Kingdom with Nanna & Grandpa

I hadn’t been to Disney World since my own childhood, now returning as a mom myself, with the grandparents in tow.  That entire trip was magical, and totally sold me on bringing grandparents along to Disney!

It’s hard to top the Magic Kingdom for memory milestones, and I think we were all touched the day we entered the gates and headed right for the Walt Disney Railroad.   My dad’s rule:  You have to ride the railroad first thing, to start your day.  🙂

Sharing this Happy Place with extended family, merging my fond memories with now watching my own child discover this exciting place, was pretty darn priceless.

Baby Meeting Mickey Mouse the 1st Time

At the tender at of 12 months, I’m not sure how much of this particular experience my son will remember.  But for his mom, it was a moment.   The first time your child (or grandchild!) meets Mickey Mouse is kindof a big deal, and definitely ranks as a cherished memory for we Disney parents.

And I loved that he wasn’t scared at all of the characters.  Except for Tigger.  But that was only because of the handler’s startlingly loud laugh (… that’s another story).

My Little Rapunzel

Knowing it was quite likely my little princess’ last “dress up” trip to Disney, and having this coincide with both her first trip to Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique for a royal makeover AND meeting her favorite princess for the very first time… whew!... was an emotional Trifecta for mom.

My daughter ate up every moment of this amazing day.   Such a precious memory!

 

Total Stranger’s Comment, After Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

This dinner show is all it’s cracked up to be, and more.  We all laughed.  We all loved the food.  We all had a wonderful time.  And for me, one of the reasons that Disney is such a magical place is their ability to take a room full of people, all ages… and make every single one of them smile.

As we left after the show that night, an elderly gentlemen being pushed in his wheelchair commented to a Cast Member by the door, “That was wonderful.  This is the most fun I’ve had my whole trip!”

Wishes

A cliche?  Perhaps.  But watching this fireworks show over the castle makes my heart soar.  Every.  Single.  Time.  Wishes is the magical memory I can count on… every trip!
