I think it’s impossible to visit Walt Disney World and not experience at least one “magical moment” at some point during your visit. Sometimes it’s something as simple as the smile on the face of a child when they see their favorite character, a very friendly Cast Member or when you get extra special Disney service. For others it can be something bigger like getting married at WDW, celebrating a very special event or being selected and honored in some way by a Disney Cast Member.
Since I visit WDW on the average of at least once a week and have done so for the last five years, I have many, many “magical moments” in my Disney memory bank. So coming up with just three won’t be easy. But, I’m up to the task; so here’s goes:
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) Walking into the Magic Kingdom for the very first time with my wife and two children; seeing Main Street and Cinderella Castle. Seeing the look of awe, joy and wonder on their faces made me the happiest man in the world.
2) Being selected by the one of the Serveur Amusant mime’s (France Pavilion) to help with their chair act. What a hoot! I love the mime using the reflection from my bald head to comb his hair. It was a great experience!
3) One day while sitting on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom, the Dapper Dan’s stopped right in from of my wife and I to sing. Before I knew it, I was on Main Street with them. Very funny!
OK, I’ve told you mine, now it’s your turn to let me know what your magical moments are.

I also want to comment on last weeks blog: one of the most notable things about the comments were that 99% of everyone’s choices came from either Epcot or the Magic Kingdom. Very, very few from anyplace else. Personally I loved the fact that so many people had “It’s A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” on their list. Others showing up on a lot of lists were: When You Wish Upon A Star, Golden Dream, Grim, Grinning Ghosts, Illuminations music and Zip-a-dee-doo-da.

My Top 3 Magical Moments
1) My very first visit in 1978. My 2 brothers were born in Oct. of ’76 and then Jan. of ’78. That fall, my parents planned a “big sister” trip just for me. None of us had ever been to WDW. We spent 2 days in the MK, River Country and seeing the Hoop-De-Doo Musical Revue while my grandparents babysat my brothers. It was such a special trip and I’ll never forget it.
2) My first Anniversary trip with my husband. My husband planned a wonderful first Anniversary trip to WDW for me and kept the entire thing a surprise up until the day before we left. He had researched hotels, the parks, even planned a romantic dinner for our Anniversary at Victoria and Albert’s. It was a perfectly magical few days and touched me even more when I came to realize that my husband is really all not that fond of Disney, it just made him happy to see me so happy.
3) My 3rd ongoing memory is whenever I can talk my husband into taking our 4 children back to Disney with us. He always looks over at me whenever we drive onto the property, or arrive at one of the parks, sees the tears of joy in my eyes and smiles.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)We were in Camp Minnie-Mickey, and my husband and son were looking at the guide map, trying to decide where to go next. They were so intent, they didn’t notice that Goofy walked up behind them, looked at the map, and started scratching his head. When Goofy reached over their shoulders and pointed out a suggestion, I got the best picture ever.
2)The first time we entered the Wilderness Lodge and saw the lobby and heard the music.
3)Riding the Tower of Terror at night and seeing the view with all the lights when the doors open.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Captured on video- the talking Recycle Bin at Animal Kingdom singing Happy Birthday to my two sons.
2)Because we were the very last people to enter the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, the place was full. I jokingly asked if there were any “special seats” for the last ones coming in and we ended up sitting in the front in their VIP section!
3)Our twin five year old sons were Princes of the Day and got to pull the sword from the stone in Fantasyland.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Our very first visit in 1994. Our daughter was 4 and absolutely in love with “The Mouse!” We waited to see him in Toontown, and when it’s was finally our turn, she ran up to him and gave him a big hug. Everyone in the room said, “Aww!” Her 2 year old brother was less impressed, wanting nothing to do with a giant mouse! Mickey was great though; he knelt down & leaned his ear over for my son to touch. It worked. They are both forever fans!
2)In 1995 we had a family reunion with 21 people, from my 75 year old grandmother to my 15 month old nephew. Enjoying WDW with just my immediate family is special; enjoying it with all the ones I love most is phenomenal!
3)All the special events that we’ve encountered: My son pulling the sword from the stone. My husband being picked for the Indian in Hoop Dee Doo. My daughter being picked to come on stage for Flights of Wonder. Both kids being picked to lead sections in Festival of the Lion King. Winning special Mickey ears during “Year of a Million Dreams.”
Your comments: Then there is the recurring Magic Moments. For my husband, it’s seeing Spaceship Earth the first time each visit. For me, it’s walking onto Main St the first time. For my kids, it seems to be getting to the airport on the way to Orlando!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)The year my mom was selected to be the evil wizard Pelham by the World Showcase players, for one of their holy grail productions. My dad & I laughed so hard we cried. I have a fabulous picture of my mom with 2 of the players after the performance.
2) The year my dad got picked to be in (the now gone) Superstar TV. He was in the Cheers scene. We said the line “Funny thing is, it’s my birthday too” for years…….
3)The time my mom volunteered me to be in the water scene of the walking part of the backlot tour. I commanded a boat (very badly!) and got absolutely soaked. But I had a blast!
Your comments:
You never know when Disney Magic will happen to you!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)My husband’s first trip (he was 48!). I’ll never forget the look on his face when he met his first character, Tigger!
2)Our honeymoon and all the Magical Moments the Cast made for us!
3)The first time my triplets met Mickey in Toontown. They sat down with him like they were already the best of friends with all the time in the World! (P.S.-No one made us feel rushed).
1. The first time I went with my wife (then girlfriend) in 2002. We drove nonstop from Philadelphia and were exhausted when we arrived, but that didn’t stop us from running straight to the MK to ride Splash Mountain and wathc the fireworks.
2. Dinner at The California Grill with my wife during the MK fireworks for her birthday in 2008.
3. When I was 10, my dad was picked to be in the street performers show in the UK pavillion. He was the other man who was running around with the queen. He was eventually “killed” by the king as he laid on the street, my sister (then 4) said to us, “Why is daddy just laying there? Such a lazy daddy.” The performers heard her and lost character for a second to laugh. It was just such a priceless memory.
My first child is due in a few weeks and I can’t wait to add to this list with the memories I make at WDW with her!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) It’s got to be each time I see the castle. First time I did, was on our honeymoon, so it’s a very special site–at that time, it was only the Magic Kingdom. Since then, we’ve celebrated many events–anniversaries, birthdays, etc.
2) Since the last 6 trips, we’ve stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, I guess it’s driving up that drive and seeing the Lodge for the first time–again. Beautiful, peaceful. I just love it.
3) Riding Tower of Terror–it’s always a thrill, but the first ride of the day is fantastic.

My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Seeing the look on my nieces’ faces the very first time they road the Tea Cups when they were toddlers.
2)Seeing My Dad perform as “Old McDonald” when he was picked to participate in a show at the Diamond Horsehoe Jamboree
3)Seeing my Mom shake a tambourine and other stuff as she wore a Christmas pirate hat I designed and sang with a bunch of Christmas Pirates during Mickey’s Very Merry X-mas Party.

My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Getting selected as ‘family of the day’ at Magic Kingdom on my daughter’s fifth birthday. She was so excited to go, that she woke up at 5am and made us head to the park then. We were the only people on the first monorail on a pretty chilly morning. Once at the gates, we got her gift card (during that promo) and then sat at a turnstile playing cards. When some CMs came out, my daughter started giving them all her stickers because she wanted them to have a great day on her birthday. Suffice to say, she was quickly asked to come over to the other side to meet Mickey.
2)The train ride that same morning. An extended game of peek-a-boo with all the characters while Mickey held her hand on the train. Priceless.
3)New Years Eve fireworks at Epcot last year. We had a pretty bad viewing spot, but it didn’t matter. All three of us had tears during the finale!
Your comments: Sorry for the first two being a part of the same experience. But, it was that big! Now, when we go, we can never miss the MK opening show and my daughter cheers and screams for the family of the day every time and tells us that those kids got to play peek-a-boo with the characters today.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) The first trip to WDW for my husband definitely! I had to drag him there – he did NOT want to go! “Too expensive…tourist trap etc”. That was 12 years ago and about 13 trips ago. Now it’s the only place he wants to vacation. I always remember to thank Walt every time we go – his magic is still working.
2) Visiting during the Christmas holidays – always magical for me.
3) After purchasing DVC we treated my family to a trip: 4 nieces, my parents, my sister and of course the 2 of us. What a magical time! Chris and I surprised everyone with the gift on Christmas morning and the nieces had a scavenger hunt to find the clues. It was a perfect trip with a lot of laughs, memories and Disney magic. Even the weather was perfect As we got on the Magical Express to go to the airport, it started to rain (IT POURED!) I was brought up on anything and everything Disney and my parents surprise the family with a trip to Disneyland in 1973 – it felt great to reciprocate. 5 years later the trip is still talked about.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Getting to be the Flag Family at the Wilderness Lodge in Feb. 2009 – what an honor, and an amazing view! Thanks, Ranger Stan!
2)During our Dec. 2007 trip, we got to meet Peter Pan, one of my son’s favorites. While we were talking with him, he asked us to do him a favor, and proceeded to pull a note out of his boot that we then delivered to Aladdin. It was so much fun!
3)During our most recent family trip, we were celebrating both my daughter’s and husband’s birthdays, and they each got a special magical moment. We took my daughter on the Wildlife Excursion tour in AK, had the entire vehicle to ourselves, and they fed the lions as we went by so she could get a great view of her favorite animal! Then the following night for DH’s birthday dinner at Rose and Crown, we were seated waterfront and had a fabulous view of Illuminations!
Your comments: Another tough one to narrow down to just 3!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)My 10 year old daughter finally decided she had enough nerve to ride Mt Everest and the line was very long and i figured she would probably talk herself out of it before we got halfway through. We walked to the line entrance and the castmembers had rerouted the line throught the fast pass area and it was kinda confusing where to enter so I asked a beautiful castmemberwhere the line began and she asked if we wanted to ride and we said yes and she also asked if it was my daughters first time and she again said yes then the CM took us to the front of the line and put us in the very front on the first car and rode behind us. This was incredible and really made my daughters first ride and my belief in Disney magic even stronger.
2)Walking down Main street with my wife on our honeymoon 18 years ago
3)walking down main street again after we moved to Florida it had been 10 years since we were there on our honeymoon but we decided then we would be passholders every year we could and so far have.
Your comments: Disney magical moments happen everyday and all around you.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)One visit, when I was little, I had gotten a Mickey balloon at the MK. On the way back to the Polynesian where we were staying, it popped. While at dinner in the restaurant that is now ‘Ohana’s, the server found out what had happened to my balloon. When we returned to our room that night, the staff had delivered an entire bouquet of balloons.
2)Fast forward 20 + years to this past September. My best friend and I were celebrating our birthday’s at WDW. When we returned back to our hotel room on our first night there, my husband (who travels for work and couldn’t join us)had had the Disney Florist deliver balloons, flowers, candy and a big Goofy plush.
3)On another birthday trip with my BFF, we had lunch at Whispering Canyon, a first for both of us. Little did we know what we were getting into by wearing our birthday buttons here! We had to ride wooden horses throughout the lobby of the Lodge singing “Happy Birthday To Us” as loud as we could with the entire wait staff lined up watching us. After returning to our table, they brought us a birthday dessert, which after singing to us, they all pulled out forks and ate! They did bring us another one for us to eat 🙂
My “Top 3 Magical Moments”
1. Eating at Victoria and Albert’s on my honeymoon. It was so beautiful, delicious and memorable. 1a. Going back to V&A’s the next year with my in-laws for another incredible experience.
2. As my husband and I were exiting the Tower of Terror elevator, a cast member asked if we would like to ride again. He took us up in the REAL elevator at the attraction and put us right at the front of the line. Because of fastpasses, stand-by and the special magic, we rode it 4 times in a row….all this AFTER dinner at Victoria and Alberts!
3. Watching my mother-in-law come to tears during the Candlelight Processional at Epcot. It was beautiful.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Going for the first time when I was 8 years old with my mom, grandparents, and sisters. I rode Dumbo with my Grandma and hit the button to fly and surprised her. It was the best family vacation that we had every had up to that point.
2)Flash forward many, many years and coming back to Disney with my two kids and their grandparents (my mom and step dad). The excitemnt my daughter and I shared when we opened our window in our room at the Polynesian and saw the Castle. We both squealed with delight.
3)This past September we were back. The night we went to the Halloween Party we got there as the street celebration/parade was ending. The MC of the parade looked down at my son aka Buzz Lightyear and yelled ‘To infinity and beyond!’ Then it continued with many of the other parade participants talking to my kids. Mr. Incredible even bowed down to my daughter who of course was dressed as Princess Cinderella in her bridal gown. Everyone that night said hello to my Buzz and Princess. Later that night my son looked up at me and said “I think they think I am the real Buzz Lightyear!” How magical is that!!
4. I have to add to about my daughters first trip to the BBB. She was so excited by it all. My mom got her the full princess package and she came out with pink hair, but her look as the twirled her around was priceless.
Your comments: That is all I will bore you with for now. But Disney is truly Magical to me and I cannot wait to share more moments with my kids!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)When we first enter the Magic Kingdom with my two kids who can’t control the wide grins.
2)The utter joy on my son’s face when he finds a Hidden Mickey (he has Asperger’s Syndrome, so he can get really loud when excited).
3)When staying at the Contempory Tower with the Magic Kingdom view. When the family is all tucked in and asleep, I go out on the balcony to look at the park and watch the beautiful colors change on the castle and smile as I know we get to do it all again tomorrow.
Your comments:
I love your blogs. Keep them coming.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) My boyfriend and I were in WDW in December of 2009. We were sitting on the beach of the Polynesian with our friend and her son waiting for Holiday Wishes to begin at the MK so we could watch them. Next thing we know a CM is walking around asking “Is it anyone’s birthday today? Is anyone celebrating a birthday?” Well it was the very beginning of December and my boyfriend had just turned 25 at the end of November so we were celebrating his birthday, button and all. So we all said it was his birthday. The CM then asked us what we were doing and if we had time to hurry up and come with him. He escorted us over to the boat dock and took us out on a pontoon boat all decked out with a birthday banner, chips, soda etc. My boyfriend, our friend, her son and I got the music piped into the boat and got to watch Holiday Wishes from the lagoon. It was an amazing, magical moment we’ll never forget!
2) In July 2010, my boyfriend and I were eating at 50’s Prime Time Cafe. We were celebrating my birthday which is at the beginning of August and I was wearing my button. Our CM server brought over a card and a cupcake, announced to our section of the restaurant that it was my birthday and had everyone sing to me. Then, she sent around the card and had everyone sign it. It was so overwhelming and another magical moment that can only be experienced in WDW!
3) This is more than one moment but I’ll bundle it as one and that is the several times my boyfriend has gotten chosen to be an extra in shows like Indiana Jones, the African dancers in AK etc. Watching him up on the stage or dancing with the dancers in front of everyone and the look of joy on his face is priceless to me. We can’t wait to bring our own children one day.
Your comments: There are so many magical moments experienced in every Disney World trip that it’s impossible to name them all. It is what keeps us coming back year after year 🙂
Actually most of my magical moments involve my dad who has been instrumental in almost everything in my life including my love of Disney.
3)Seeing my dad on stage wearing a tutu at the Hoop de Do Revue- Twice!
2)Walking into the Grand Floridian for my honeymoon and making my husband promise we would return when we left- we did with the help of my dad who brought the whole family there!
1)Surprizing my dad by having him honored as the Magic Kingdom Veteran of the Day- he solemly assisted in the Flag ceremony and was able to parade back up main street as part of the honor guard- that is one of my most priceless moments not just of Disney magic but of the magic of family and honoring the man my dad is!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) I was in the Magic Kingdom on my 21st birthday (naturally, choosing Disney magic over bars at home) and sitting in the side alley off of Main Street. I was sitting at a cafe table with my family when the Dapper Dans came out and, spotting my birthday button, sang an improptu happy birthday to me. It was such a perfect moment it brought tears to my eyes.
2) The tears that fall everytime I step into the Magic Kingdom at the start of my trips and see Cinderella’s Castle at the apex of Main Street. That sight will never lose its magic.
3) While not a particular moment, the simple fact of how my parents and I find the way to reconnect even though I’ve been grown and gone for several years now every single time we take a trip to the World together. The forgotten memories re-emerge and new memories are formed making our family stronger every trip.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) Bringing my husband of 1 year to WDW for his first time since childhood and letting him realize what a Disney geek I truly am…
2) Staying at the Grand Floridian when it was decorated for Christmas
3) Being with my baby sis when she was 3 and I was 16 in the MK and watching her hug characters…
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Our first trip to Disney as a family 12 years ago we stayed at the Grand Floridian and got on the concierge level. When we check in with the concierge Michele. She asked my then 2 year old daughter who her favorite character was and was told Cinderella. We went to dinner and when we returned a personalized autographed picture was on the bed of the Princess. We were hooked for life. To this day we are still friends with Michelle.
2)Having lunch at the castle and meeting Cinderella my 5 year told the Princess that she was her favorite and proceeded to strike up a long conversation. Cinderella told us to be at the Liberty Tree during 3:00 parade . When her float arrived, it stopped and Cinderella got off the float, found our daughter in the crowd and danced with Prince Charming and our daughter
3)We were selected 4 years ago as the family that would open the Magic Kingdom the next morning. We arrived an hour before the park opening and taken to the train stop at tune down and boarded the train with all the characters!! We arrived at the Main Street station and officially opened the park with Pixie Dust !
My Top Three Magical Moments
1) The day I married my husband at Sea Breeze Point at the Boardwalk in 2008. The happiest day of my life in my favorite place!
2) The look on my husband’s face when he saw his first park. I grew up going to Disney World 1-2 times a year. He had never been to Disney World. We went to Epcot first and he was practically bouncing by the time we got off of the parking lot tram. His expression as we walked through the gates was priceless.
3) This one is a continous one. The third moment is when we pull through the front gates at Disney World for our return trips. We both just look at each other and giggle.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)My favorite was when most of my family came for my Poppe’s birthday, we had a dinner party in Epcot and we got a special room because it was raining. After that we got a special place to watch Illuminations – it was near the Rose and Crown, there were close to 20 of us watching the fireworks and it was beautiful.
2)After a great breakfast at the Crystal Palace with Winnie and Tigger, my mom and I were the only passengers on Aladdin’s Magic Carpets – we got to ride it 8 times in a row!
3)When my whole family (mother, Nana, uncle, aunt, cousins-everybody but my Poppe who took pictures) got their faces painted in the Animal Kingdom. It was great fun!
Your comments:
1. Going to WDW in 05. (The last time i was there prior to 05 was 96).
2. Going on Tower of Terror for the first time in 06/07? (I’m more scared of the going up then the going down part. rofl).
3. Getting special treatment on my bday (2009)
(double desert)
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) Taking my wife and son for their first
visit to WDW on our son’s 7th birthday.
It was incredible for my wife and I to see
him so overwhelmed and happy day after day
with all the things to see and experience.
2) On our second visit as a family, we had the
honor of being selected as the family of
the day to open the Magic Kingdom. We
entered the park before everyone else and
were driven in the vintage fire engine to
Mickey’s Toontown Fair for a private
meeting with a number of characters. Next,
we sat with Mickey Mouse as we rode the
train to the front of the park. We were
then introduced as the family of the day
and participated in the song and dance
number to open the park. Incredible time!
3) Also on that second visit, the luck
continued as my son was chosen as Chef of
the Day at the Donald’s Safari Breakfast at
Animal Kingdom’s Restaurantosaurus. This
was amazing as Donald Duck was his favorite
character, and he had a good amount of
private time with Donald, as well as
receiving a chef’s hat autographed by the
Fab 5 and presented to him by Donald and
one of the Disney chefs.
Your comments: Tough things to top, but that’s the magic of Disney, things will always get more magical the more you visit WDW.
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Getting selected to preform in the preshow for the Backlot Tour (twice)
2)Getting my own private log for Splash Mountain
3)Meeting the Allears team at a meet and great this past August
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) Just like yours Mike, the first time you see Cinerella’s Castle the look of sheer delight on everyone’s faces and the little voice in your head says “We’re actually here!” I cried happy tears all the way up Main Street USA.
2) My young son meeting Buzz Lightyear for the very first time and excitedly running on the spot. The image of his face looking up at his hero will stay with me forever and when I think about it I cry happy tears.
3) Pixie Hollow with my daughter was worth billions of dollars. The look of sheer wonder on her face when Iridessa took her by the hand and ran into Pixie Hollow. Tink and Faun were awesome! As we left (with me in tears AGAIN) my daughter said to me: “When Iridessa grabbed my hand, we were flying!”
Friends of mine who have never been to WDW just don’t get it……
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)The family met with Mickey “backstage” in Toon Town. As we were leaving my daughter ran back in and over to Mickey to give him one last hug. She was five and still talks about it 20 years later.
2)My husband getting picked for Superstar Television
3)The first time I saw Wishes
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1) My first trip in 1997 with my wife and daughter who was a year and 1/2 at the time. While meeting Mickey for the first time, my daughter spontaneously kissed Mickey on the nose. This was before photo passes, so we needed to go to Exposition Hall to check out the photo. Since we were returning to Magic Kingdom the next day, we planned to check out the picture first thing. We didn’t realize that the pictures from the previous day were always deleted and we had missed our chance to view the shot! Later in the day a cast member overheard us telling the story to someone and offered to get us a private audience with The Mouse the next day, but alas, it was the end of our trip and we were out of days on our Hopper. No problem! The cast member used his passes so we could get in and led us through a back entrance to Mickey’s house so we could “re-create” the moment. In fact, what was created was a special memory and a love of Walt Disney World.
2) Flash forward 12 years to same daughter, now a teenager and spending an afternoon at World Showcase with just the two of us.
3) Last night of our trip over Thanksgiving last year and we had never seen the Osborne Festival of Lights at Studios. After a busy day, including watching the final American Idol Show, we thought we would miss it because the park was closing. My daughter, 7 year old son and I raced from American Idol and made it about 5 minutes before park closing, but my Wife and 10 year old son weren’t going to make it from their last Tower of Terror run (which turned into 2 rides because someone gave them fastpasses on their way out!). To our surprise, the lights didn’t turn off as wife and son made it several minutes after park closing! It turns out they keep the music and “snow” and lights going long after the park officially closes, so we spent the next 45 minutes singing Christmas songs and dancing and revelling with our fellow park guests. It was perhaps the best ending to a Disney trip we’ve ever had!
Your comments:
So many memories to choose from! Thanks for the opportunity to relive them all. Keep the great blog ideas coming!
My Top Three (Four) “Magical Moments”
1) The very 1st time I went with my fiance. I was 34 and I will never forget the excitement that I felt.
2) When my daughter pulled the sword from the stone and was named “Princess for the Day”
3) Christmas time at WDW is a magical experience no matter your age. The lights, the music it is all amazing!
4) Our wedding at WDW was amazing. The whole day was priceless and I got to dance with my very own Prince Charming!!
My Top Three “Magical Moments”
1)Taking my daughter for the first time, she was dressed as Snow White and we had lunch in Cinderella’s Castle (before the Princess Meals) and Peter Pan knocked on our window, after lunch we ran into Snow White who called my little princess her twin 🙂
2)My brother and I went together on a brother sister bonding vacation and we wanted to go to Victoria and Albert’s, we did and it was wonderful. It was more special at the end of dinner to get a note from our parents that they had paid for it as a gift to us.
3)Every single time I am able to go, I have the very same magical moment. Standing on Main Street looking at the castle and just knowing that whatever happens on the current journey to Disney there will be magic.
