    Stepping out from beneath the train station and knowing I'm finally there is the best part about entering MK. Five weeks from today, I'll be doing just that!! Woohoo!!

    There is no place that engages the senses the way Disney can. The sight of the castle while walking down mainsreet, the characters, the smell of the food, sound of the music. It is a "WOW" factor for me.

    This is a great question! I am going to have to say the adrenalin that accumulates in your body with every "little" thing when you arrive on property is just fantastic!! It's the first ride on the monorail to the MK, and then walking down the ramp to the gates, then it's walking under the train station and finally realizing you have "arrived", hearing the music and seeing the singing and dancing cast members. Just that initial walk down main street. Then we always begin in Adventureland, and the walk across the bridge to there gives you the most wonderful feeling inside!!! Especially when you know you have your entire vacation ahead of you and this is just your first day!!! Wow, it's great just thinking about it and typing it, can't wait to return in January 09!!!!

    The best thing about the Magic Kingdom, is the feeling of "coming home"

    When you get on the monorail. Hearing the whoosh of the doors and then the announcements. Seeing the park/castle get closer & closer.

    When you first step onto Main Street.

    When you hear the music playing as you walk down Main Street.

    of course it's main street, getting off the monorail, the castle, but for some reason what really gets me excited are the framed posters representing all the rides when you walk through those tunnels before main street. I just love them...they remind me of the early days of MK.

    All the above! And one more.....On most trips, the first ride is PoTC. Crossing the bridge to Adventureland, and hearing the exotic music lets me know we're really there.

    what i always remember is standing to get in the park and then the train comes by with most of the characters on it...and when the park opens they all go down and u can meet with them and take pictures.

    Actually at the MK it has to be (coming from the busses) seeing all the bricks in the ground of all the people who visited. Hearing the music before you actually see the park and listening to all the excited children (especially my own) When I see the Mickey made out of flowers, I know I am home.

    Default Can't wait to walk into my fave place again.

    I love seeing the EMPORIUM. May be cheesy but I know once I see that I am about to walk around the corner and see the castle! Can't wait for the 3 yr old's expression!

    The first thing I have to do, even at 9am, stay to the left, pass under the train and get a popcorn. Right when you come out under the train is a popcorn stand. Not sure why I have to get one, but my wife says I'll be grumpy without it. I stroll down the middle of mainstreet eating my popcorn. That tells me I have arrived!
