Can't wait to see what you guys say!

The Matterhorn is a sign of Disneyland and happiness for me (I have wall art of the Matterhorn). Space Mountain building (that roof) makes me think of the "old school" idea of the future which I like.
Originally Posted By rhodisney My favorite symbol is the three circle Mickey Mouse head. It is internationally known..if you draw that big circle and put the two smaller ones above it for ears...even little bitty kids know what that represents. I have that in a Christmas wreath, cookie cutters, a stamp for envelopes, earrings...etc. It symbolizes to me Happiness, playfulness, fun and mischief!
Originally Posted By TheParsec I have to say The Matterhorn! Seeing the Matterhorn from the Freeway, knowing that we are almost at Disneyland. Brings Lots of Memories from when I was a Kid to now. Symbolizes Happiness

Originally Posted By Labuda Hmmm, I recall seeing that every time I enter Disneyland, fodd, as I tear up when I read it, but can anyone tell me if it says that also at WDW's MK? If so, wowsers that I've never really noticed it the way I always do at DL.
