Close Your Eyes...Where Are You?
We have the awesome *SNAP* thread here on the board but...
I got to thinking the other day about imagining myself in WDW and I realized that I ALWAYS imagine myself in the same place:
the area between Innoventions and The Land...that little walkway
As big as WDW is...I always imagine myself there when I first think "man I wish I was at WDW". I can go anywhere...but for some reason I always start in that same location.
So do you have a place in WDW that you always imagine yourself in...when you hear or read the words, "Walt Disney World"?

Re: Close Your Eyes...Where Are You?
I always come back to International Gateway into Epcot. It's usually the first place I enter a park when I get there. And when I think of WDW, I always put myself at the beginning of my stay!
Of course the smart alec in me answers this with "In my office".

Ok I realized you have to do this with the music muted or it doesn't work.
I am usually on the walkway between Future World and the World Showcase.

Re: Close Your Eyes...Where Are You?
So apparently I am not the only person who thinks of Epcot first...and not MK. Interesting.

...I find myself at the Visionarium with Mont de l'Espace before me, or with Big Thunder Mountain to my right encircled by the Rivers of America and looming directly overhead is Phantom Manor.

Close my eyes and I am laying on my bed at the YC watching Stacy on the Must Do Disney and thinking how I miss this when I'm in NJ.

Close my eyes and I'm on the Ferry boat, I've just caught my first glimpse of Cinderella's castle and the inner child has been released.

Wow! I never thought of it that way. But when I close my eyes, I see myself shopping in the Emporium on Main Street in the early morning.
