Which Disney parks around the world have you visited:  Disneyland, Walt Disney World
Date of first Disney Trip: 1983
# of Disney Trips: 1 trip to Disneyland, 6 to WDW 
First Disney Attraction and reaction to it:  It's A Small World. It has a lot of sentimental value to me, since my preschool was called "It's A Small World."  I loved it when I rode it the first time as a preschooler, and I still love it today!

Fav. Park and why:  Magic Kingdom.  It gives that feeling of escaping reality and just overall fantasy.  What can I say?  I'm a kid at heart!  :)
Fav. Attraction and why:  That's a toss up between It's A Small World (see above), Splash Mountain (I love the theming), and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (One world for this ride: AWESOME.  Anyone that has been on it can relate)
Fav. Show and why:  Tapestry of Nations.  There's nothing like it.  The music, the puppets, the drums, the Sage of Time....everything flows together so well!  The show is so abstract that it can represent just about whatever you want it to represent!  That's the beauty of the parade; there's no definite theme other than unity.  It has brought me to tears on more than one occasion!
Fav. Resort and why:  Dixie Landings.  It's a very peaceful, relaxing resort, which helps you to unwind after a long day at the parks.  The theming and landscaping are wonderful!  The food court is awesome, the bus transportation is just as good, and the overall atmosphere is top notch.  Dixie Landings is my "home away from home."
Fav. Restaurant and why:  Hmmm....that's a tough one.  I like the Crystal Palace for the food (breakfast lasagna.....yummy!), the Liberty Tree Tavern for atmosphere, Chefs de France for food (they have a sauce that they put over their chicken dish that is killer!  I've tried to recreate it several times, but I haven't even come close to the sauce in Chefs de France).  There are just too many!
Fav. Snack at WDW: Ghiradelli's chocolate
Fav. Disney Tip:  Watch Tapestry of Nations from one of the starting/ending points: Mexico, Germany, Morocco, or the UK.

Fav. Disney Magical Moment/ Most Memorable Experience: I should probably preface this by saying that I LOVE kids.  If you find kids, you'll find me!  With that being said, it's no surprise that my most memorable WDW experience involves a four year old child.  I was on my way to dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern when a marching band dressed in Colonial clothing came marching past.  This was the first time I'd seen it, so I was curious to watch.  The band stopped right in front of me, and pulled in a four year old girl named Kayla.  She was the official flag bearer for the rest of the parade.  She was so happy, and it was so cute!  I cried the entire time!  I ended up taking almost an entire roll of film just on her carrying the American flag!  I was 10 minutes late to my priority seating at the Liberty Tree Tavern, but I didn't care

What can I say besides I love WDW?  I have two years left until I get my Bachelors in Management, and I'm headed down to WDW to work after that!  It's been a lifelong dream for me to work in WDW, and it will be a reality in just a few years.  I'll be working in Retail Management, so look for me either in Mouse Gear or the World of Disney!  :)
