    When landing and the Pilot says welcome to Orlando and gives a little weather report. Also when we first go outside to get the rental car and you get that first real blast of heat and humidity.

    When I'm on the DME bus to my resort and I see the little signs with Mickey Ears on them pointing to different locations on property.

    The WDW smell for me as well, from DME, resort, buses, parks, everywhere on property.

    Also, palm trees! We don't have too many of these in Kentucky. I love seeing them for the first time when touching down at the airport.

    When we first come out of our room after checking in and putting down our luggage inside. I exit the room, let the sun touch me, take a deep breath, and feel all the stress go away. I'm, finally, at Disney World.

    The Welcome sign that we drive under on our way to the resort. All I have to say about that is March 16th is when it is going to happen. Not soon enough.

    When we board the rail shuttle at the airport that takes you from the gates to the baggage claim and you can see the palm trees out the windows. We always say "here's the first ride!"
    Many visits over 35+ years!
