The Little Things You Love at Disney

I'm reviving this one because it's just too great of a topic!

I totally agree about the smell on POTC!

Here are some others...
-the sound of the railroad moving along the track
-sitting on the porch swing on Main St. people watching
-shaking hands with Oscar at the Carnation Cafe (he was hired in 1956 and joined Carnation Cafe in 1967...been there ever since! Really nice guy!!!! I met him in 2007, but I don't know if he's still working or not)

- Sitting upstairs at Columbia Harbor House and watching all the people walk into and out of Fantasyland.
- Lucking into riding twice or even three times in a row.
- Catching Space Mountain with the lights on when riding the TTA.
- Downing an entire cup of Beverly just to enjoy the shocked reactions of everyone else.
- The howl from the Haunted Mansion.
- the paths up under the Tree of Life that no one seems to know about.
- the view from ToT when the elevator doors open.
- the scream as the big wave is released at Typhoon Lagoon.
- the audible gasp from the crowd when the first flares come out of the castle during Wishes.

Ooooo! I loved reading everyone's lists...here are my five

-the faint smell of the old, good Journey Into Your Imagination ride in the new not good No Imagination ride
-the lights outside the Innoventions building, I could stare at them for hours
-the music and fountain show at EPCOT, at night, while people stream past in a hurry to be out and you are lingering to see the whole spectacle of the huge fountain
-the chill you inexplicably get walking into the hot, humid Florida air after being on the plane and thinking, wow, we're here!
-the chocolate earred mickey mouse rice krispie treat! (I really should write a macro into my keyboard as often as I type that phrase!!)

Sitting in one of the wicker rockers on the porch of the Boardwalk. After checking in it's usually my first stop to go through the reading material I just got at check in.

If it's not too obvious a choice, I like the area music.

... and the Dole Whips
