Also, I know im truly there when I see them. Reminds me of visiting as a kid and considering WDW as a totally different world. Plus, never met an unfriendly driver. To my previous list I need to add: Pirates of the Carribean EPCOTs tree speaker music (anyone know if the whole soundtrack is available anywhere?) Spaceship Earth (loved Tomorrow's child) I also have quite a soft spot for the Dinosaur sequence in Ellen's energy. Its the scale of it I think. the AAs still look pretty good.

My DD swears she could be blindfolded and still know exactly where she is based on the music. 3. WDW at Christmas -- all of it, the decor, the special events, just everything. 4. Wishes and Illuminations -- especially with the holiday tag. I get teary eyed everytime I watch Wishes. 5. AK 6. All of the wonderful memories I have of my DD as she grew up at WDW.
