Which Disney parks around the world have you visited: WDW, DL (Calif) (does Disney Cruise Line count as a park? LOL)
Date of first Disney Trip: January, 1984
# of Disney Trips: approx. 20
First Disney Attraction and reaction to it: Train ride around the Magic Kingdom - loved it!

Fav. Park and why: Magic Kingdom: to me it's Walt's "original" and just has that special touch of magic. No matter what park is ever built and no matter how much I enjoy going to it, nothing will ever top that first walk down Main St. USA.
Fav. Attraction and why: The train ride around the Magic Kingdom..it was the first thing I ever rode, and still make it the first thing I ride when I go to the MK. There's just something about the simplicity of it all.
Fav. Show and why: Fantasmic! It is by far the best night time show on WDW property. The special effects, the music, it has it all.
Fav. Resort and why: Disney's Port Orleans - it's quiet and intimate and has just enough flavor of "N'awlins". Very well themed overall.
Fav. Restaurant and why: Palio's over at the Swan/Dolphin - best Italian food I've had in a long time.
Fav. Snack at WDW: Dole Whip from Adventureland
Fav. Disney Tip: At the MK, hit the "E-Ticket" attractions during parades, fireworks -- will cut down your waiting time!

Fav. Disney Magical Moment/ Most Memorable Experience: Walking down Main St. USA when I was a child, and still getting those goose bumps even now when I'm there!

Words of Wisdom: Nowhere else in the world but at a Disney theme park exists such an experience where you can go through a turnstile and for a brief moment in time, turn back into an seven year old child and be simply amazed at all the sights, sounds and smells around you. Suddenly, all the trials and tribulations of the outside world seem to melt away...if only for a few days.

I want to publicly thank Pete and John, our entire staff of webmasters, moderators and chat hosts - and of course all the amazing DIS visitors for making this site what it is today. I may be far from a Disney park right now, but where else can I turn on a computer and suddenly relive all the fun, laughter and plain ol' good times spent with friends and family? Thanks gang!
