The Little Things You Love at Disney

Post by Soarin08 » Aug Fri 21, 2009 2:46 pm

I took inspiration for this from our Top 5 Disney list. :D Since there are soooo many other smaller things we all love about Disney, let's post them here!!! Here's a few of mine to get us started (I'll be adding more)-

1. Mitsukoshi store in Japan- they have the coolest things!
2. ATAS Hall of Fame bust display at DHS- I though my mom was going to cry when she saw Michael Landon's bust!
3. the Randy Pausch memorial at MK
4. clam chowder from CHH
5. those totally cool things that mist water at Epcot (the ones you stand under.... you know what I mean)
6. riding the boat from POR to DTD

And.... I'll keep adding more. :)

1. Everyone saying "welcome home", when arriving at the Wilderness Lodge to stay

2. Getting a little animal made out of a washcloth or towel every day sitting on the bed when returning from a long day at the parks, we can't wait to get into the room!

3. The fiber-optic lights in the ground outside of Innoventions in EPCOT. Have seen them so many times but they never cease to amaze me!

4. Crying in The American Adventure, EVERY single time!

5. Por Favor Mantenganse Alejado de las Puertas! (Sorry probably spelled wrong)

These are mine!!! :mickey:
