What a wonderful story Duck.

My favorite memory is sitting on a bridge in France, eating pastries, drinking margaritas, waiting for Illuminations. Then, Illuminations itself. It was the perfect end to the most perfect day spent at a Disney park.

My fav Memory was getting to sing in the Candlelight Processional inEpcot two years in a row! I love to sing and being in that choir was SO AWE INSPIRING!!!!! I have never heard a sound like that. I sang so hard and poured my heart out SO much on that stage that I was physically worn out from singing. I lost my voice after that for the next two days!

My favorite memory was lat year.. Feb the marching band got to perform down main sterr. (though i wanted night time aprade.. we got the 3:00 one..)

It was fantastic to go next to POTC.. and go backstage.. warm up my invisable drum (we were short a few due to large drum line and i am in pit..) and get lined up.. while seeing the parade floats preped for driving.. (mind you this was shortly after the accident.. so there were strict guidelines how close we could get.. and how we had to go 30 min before the parade...)

It was great marching in a band having everyone from all over the world cheer on us.. playing our cheasy music...

Best of all i got to see backstage... (and those keel boats were back there in a jetison of the river near the backstage service road....)

I know!!! It was so crazy how intised (spl.) you are by the sound that comes out of The America Gardens Theater!!

**angryrubberduck** · 01-20-2005, 07:11 PM

I have always thought that was one of the best performance spaces there.

It's a tough call, but I'd have to put my favorite DisneyWorld memory as the great practical joke we played on a friend during a frenzied day at Epcot.

Six of us were down in Florida having one of the most fantastic DisneyWorld trips I have ever taken. One of my pals, whom I'll call "Jim," was scheduled to have a cyst removed from his head soon after returning home from Orlando. His favorite attraction in the whole wide world was Horizons .... so at one point while 3 of our pals distracted and delayed him, me and another friend - who was a professional sign maker - raced over to Horizons and hastily installed a small sign in the queue which read "This is a turbulent and thrilling ride through the Future. Pregnant women, persons with back conditions or cysts on their head WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RIDE."

We quickly rejoined our group, and all of us headed for Horizons. Jim was so excited about his first journey in over a year on his favorite ride that he almost breezed right by the sign. We had to stop him and call his attention to it. He didn't seem to get the joke, so we told him that we thought the sign was so appropriate for him that he should have it - whereupon we proceeded to tear it off the wall and we tried to give it to him.

Jim sort of freaked about this. He would not take the sign from us, and was aghast that we had vandalized Disney property. I thought Jim was being pretty thick, but it was even worse than I imagined. After the ride, we found out that Jim spent his entire time traveling through Horizons wondering which was the part that was dangerous to people with cysts on their head!!!

This had us all literally rolling in laughter. Our practical joke played out better than we could ever have hoped for. Never for second did we predict that Jim would think the sign was real. I mean, how could he? (well, a hint is in the first italicized word of this post, but even then .... Jim was a pretty confused man that day.)

ISM that is TOO FUNNY!

Mine would have to be
1. When my youngest(HUGE Peter Pan fan) was waiting in line to meet Peter Pan and the whole time he was saying "I'm going to tell Peter he's the best and show him my hat and show him my pin" on and on and on and we get up there and he was silent with his mouth wide open in shock. It was tooo cute!

2. My favorite with my oldest was when we rode RNRc the first time he was sooooo excited!!He got off the ride bouncing and couldn't stop talking about how awesome it was!

3. When they both got their hair cut on Main Street! They LOVED it and they looked soo cute!

Can I be a total geek and say that one of my favorite memories was taking in the Magic Kingdom? Studying the differences, in awe of the scale. It was surreal to be someplace I thought I had been to before, even thoguh I hadn't.

**Rainfully** · 01-21-2005, 09:22 AM

HAHAHA ISM you have the best stories.

My favorite would be when I was little we went to Disney World for Mickey's 60th birthday celebration... I seriously thought that we just happened to be there on the exact day of Mickey's birthday! I remember Birthdayland and the giant cake with the characters dancing on it, and the special train ride. I think it might even be my first memory from Disney World.

**BigDaddyKyle** · 01-21-2005, 10:58 AM

it wasnt funny then but it is now

:monkey: one time when i was about seven my dad put a large hat on me so i would make the height requirement for splash mountain and he was going to let me on when i threw of my dads hat and started screaming that i wasnt big enough to get on. its kinda funny when i think about it now

**Rainfully** · 01-29-2005, 10:05 PM

I just thought of another one:

When I sang at the MK with my choir, we got to spend three days exploring the parks. The group of friends that I was with all decided to get personalized nametags... you know... those ones that say "Special Guest" or something along those lines. Although we didn't use our real names... we picked out names for each other and called each other by those names the whole time.

Well people kept asking us why we were special guests... and we would just tell them about the kiosk and blah blah blah. After getting asked for about the 5th time, we made up an elaborate story about how we were starring a new movie for the Disney Channel, and this is what we told people! We even came up with a plot and everything. People actually believed us!

**Cousin Orville** · 02-22-2005, 09:20 PM

Before the park opened, Jan 1971. My folks bugged this family friend to get their friend to give us a backstage tour of WDW. Believe it or not we actually trekked out there to get a ride in the back of this wonderful WED project manager's car to see the place under construction. WOW. Castle under construction, 20k, Main street, all with 3 pics left in the camera!!! It was truly the most inspiring thing a kid could see as I was about 12 at the time and an obsessed Disnetologist nut case. I later got a gig at Imagineering and the first day there went to a retirement party. It was for THAT GUY who took time out of his day to give a family of strangers a tour. I reminded him that it was me and he was actually happy that I had been inspired to follow through and get some kind of job there. That is irony and my most cherished memory of WDW.

**WindPhyreDude** · 02-22-2005, 09:57 PM

Not to be too deep or serious, but the one and only time I've been to WDW was shortly before my brother-in-law passed away. So WDW was one of the last places I saw him alive. I remember just him and I going on the Tower of Terror for the second time and putting our hands up and screaming on the drops. We had so much fun!! I hope to have many more trips to WDW in my lifetime, but that trip will always have a special place in my memory, remembering being with Joe...
