Originally Posted By Dalia3001 I agree with everything everyone has posted thus far, thanks for the topice! Personally, I love it when my husband gets the top score on BLAB, (yes we have to go there early in the morning, but it thrills me no end to make his day like that.) I score very poorly, but I'm trying, and our photos are always hysterical. When my husband (or someone else we bring) says thank you for planning, it was so nice not to sit around wondering what to do next. (Yes, somehow I ended up around people who enjoy my ridiculously planned out Disneyland itineraries! Lucky me!) Getting onto the front seat of Space Mountain, or the back seat of BTMR. Finding something new that I never noticed before. Thanks for the cheerful thread!

I was staying at the Disneyland Hotel for a work conference recently, but had no time to visit the parks. Still, when I heard that steamboat sound from my balcony, it just made me smile!

Originally Posted By p-n-p06 The light posts in the shuttle lot remind me of the trip when I took my nieces to DLR.

Not sure if they are still there but...we used to like the posts topped with Mickey heads along one of the walkways at the Paradise Pier hotel back when it was the Pan Pacific. PUSH the talking garbage can (hardly ever get to see him!) Looking up at the skyway station in Fantasyland and wishing we could go up and check it out. The light on the Matterhorn in the morning. The steam rising off Main Street when we walk in for Early Admission. French Toast sticks in Tomorrowland for a quickie breakfast to start Early Admission. Disneyland is the only place I drink coffee and always with Oscar's Special for breakfast. Looking at the doors in the castle archway and wondering which one would take me to the corridor where those vintage dioramas must still reside. ;-) Walking on the path that leads from Fantasyland to Frontierland (we call it 'the back way') at night and hearing the crickets. Ditto the everyone else's comments and thanks!

It's just one of those things that really makes me feel like I'm at home in DL (we've gotten better about that, and started plugging the top of the tree into one outlet and the bottom into another so it doesn't short out)
