Your first REAL disney magical moment, dream come true...whatever before YOAMD.

I'll start. When I got into the Hot Seat of Who Wants to be a Millionaire Play It!

When I got to go to DL with a man I loved and we stayed in the DLH.

^ you know, I never even went into the Millionaire game! Did you win anything?
Mine is when I was about 4 or 5. My dad was taking a shipment down to So Cal and he took me with him to keep him awake (i never stopped talking). When he was done, he took me into DL just in time to see the fireworks. It was the very first time I had ever seen them becuase as a baby, we always went back to the hotel early. Then he took me on a few rides and we left for home again.

LOL that's awesome! My 6 year old son is a real talker, too =) This sounds like a really special memory with your Dad.

My first Disney dream come true was when I got to ride the Lilly Belle in March '08. I was so excited! I barely remember looking out the window as the train went around it's loop, I just kept looking around the train car, taking pictures and absorbing every word the conductor who rode with us was telling me. I still get goose bumps when I think about that day.

Mine was probably when Believe..there's magic in the stars was still showing and I was little, me and my mom would run over to near the Matterhorn to get closer look at Tinkerbell. Those are magical memories for me.

Yes. I won the Point Pins up to 32,000. I died at 64,000. A doyen is a head of a clan and the question asked "What is a Doyen?" The answer was not listed as anyone of the choices. It was Smart,Stupid,Unique and something else. I chose stupid and the right one was unique.

And I won a 1,000 point baseball cap and a 32,000 polo t-shirt...with barely anything on it.

^ and we wonder why it went away :)

BlueFairy · 08-20-2008, 03:20 PM

I have a few...but this is my favorite one :)

During MSEP when I saw it for the first time, I must have been like 4 or something, I waved to the Blue Fairy and she looked directly at me and winked and waved to me.

This one is rather silly, but I think was my first real Disney Park Moment. I was in Kindergarten, and at MK my dad and I had waited in line for an autograph at Ariel's Grotto, and afterwords we went to this little stand and we both got a drink, he got a coffee, and he got me a Sprite, but as we were in line, he saw me eying the travel mug and he bought me that without my even asking. I still have it, albeit very worn from the years of use, but I still remember it each time I use it, which is significant considering I can't remember most of my earlier trips to WDW.

My best friend and I had dreamed about going to DL together for just about as long as we had known each other, and we finally took the trip together for the first time when she turned 18 and could rent a motel room without a parent, heh. We went back again in May and will probably keep going back for decades to come.
