  • [Question] Things you miss after you leave.....

    It's only been a week since we left, and already I am 'Disney" sick. :shy: (Ya know, like home sick, only worse!)

    What are the things you miss most if your next trip isn't for..... well, a coupla years? Here is a list of mine....

    The excitement you feel THE VERY FIRST DAY of walking through the turn stiles.
    Being able to have Bailey's in a cup of coffee in the morning while walking to the parks.
    Disney pickles.
    The smell of oranges, pine, and surf while flying high above it all.
    Dole whips.
    Getting to the parks, each of them, at rope drop, and seeing all of the excited people.
    Remembering as a child that the "pirate booty" was actually real jewels and gold.
    Dole whips.
    Riding Space in the a.m. without a wait.
    The Partner's statue.
    "Nice work pal."
    Disney pickles.
    Riding TSM in the a.m. when you are only 12th in line.
    Dole whips.
    Talking to fun and interesting people while waiting in line.
    ToT drops.
    Dole whips.
    In 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1!
    Monte cristo sandwiches.
    SM at 4:00 when it is screamin' hot.
    Dole whips.
    Wondering if your FP will actually get you on Indy when it's NOT down :blush:
    A cold beer and tapas with your love at Wine Country Trattoria.
    "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy."
    Oh yeah,.... Dole whips.
    Putting your aching feet in a really hot hot tub late at night after knowing you walked 20+ miles a day.
    Watching the WoC on your last night, seeing your kids out of the corner of your eye knowing what an amazing time they had, and crying at the thought that they will be in college in a year.

    ......but more importantly...... simply..... the magic of it all! (And Dole whips!)

    Cheers to all of you who have yet to have your fun this summer!

              Missed one thing....

              Chatting with fellow mice-chatters.

              This, in itself, was a fun experience that made our trip so, so much more fun! I hope to re-live our trip through all of you until we go again!

                    I miss being with thousands of other fellow Disneyland enthusiasts and the cacaphony of all the sounds, the sights and the aromas (the good ones). I also miss the one or two attraction that my daughter didn't or couldn't ride but we'll try to ride next time. And I miss the Cherry Coke which tastes better at Disneyland just because it's at Disneyland.
                    I am old. But still love Disneyland.

                            my phone charger. I left it plugged into the wall at the Paradise Pier Hotel.
                            Amnesia used to be my favourite word, but I forgot it.

                              The food!, riding matterhorn & thunder mountain at night time, space mountain, smell of the pirates ride when you walk in, watching fantasmic, still being excited to see characters, and all the good times with my friends.

                                Being able to talk to strangers safely. I love greeting people a happy birthday or shouting "Congrats!" across the way to just married couples or those celebrating an anniversary. I love that at Disneyland, I can talk to people who are waiting in line with me or who are going on an attraction with me for the first time. It's a community experience, really, with a very large community.
