Originally Posted By wonderingalice stitch, you're so very welcome! It's so heartwarming, isn't it? I get misty just looking up at the lighted lantern. DL55! You just gave me one I didn't know about - the phone call on Main Street by the checkers board... We'll have to check that out in December! Thanks!
Originally Posted By Disneyland55 Saweet! No prob. Ok, I have to do some more now... Sounds: Main street loop, Trains, Mark Twain, Telegraph at NOS station, HM spiel (with or without guests reciting), Big Thunder trains flying by, Small world clock, carousel music. Smells: Hand stamp, POTC and Splash (after reading about it here, I bottled to pirate water to take home!), every restarant. (I know this isn't supposed to be about DCA, but I really love the orange smell in Soarin' and I really like the burnt coffe smell at the entrance that everyone else hates.) Sights: Dream give away cast members, a free bench waiting for me, a sign for a short wait, smiles, the point where day transitions to night and the lights start coming on! Tastes: Safari Skewer, dole whip, monte cristo sandwich, chowder bowl, pizza, hotdogs. Feel: The way I feel when I experience all of the above!

They have Max, Melvin and Buff, the 3 stuffed heads from the Country Bear Jamboree, on the upper wall! It felt SOOO GOOOOD to see them again!

Originally Posted By mater4 I love it when I see small kids having a special moment with a character.

Some other favorites are the smell of churros, the drops on POTC, eating popcorn as I watch the fireworks and finally being able to enjoy SpaceMt. as a family. 17 more days WHoo Hooo!

Thank you for you kind words from an earlier post, by the way.

Originally Posted By geniesjoy I love the whole ball of wax! I love all the old familiar sites, sounds, smells & textures AND all the new experiences that each trip brings.

Pow! In an instant I went flying! Tweaked my knee & got a couple of booboo scrapes but was able to get up & ride BTMRR in the dark. Got to visit the First Aid & got wonderful treatment-knee icing & 2 Ibuprofen & was good to go for the rest of the night's wonders. That experience got my attention & reminded me how easy it is to not watch where I'm are going. I am so surprised there aren't more collisions there but most everyone seems to get along with their journey & manage to avoid crashes. Even negative experiences can be turned around to be positive ones with the help of hindsight & sense of humor!
