    Post Best part about Magic Kingdom when you first step in?

    MK is my favorite park, no doubt! I was thinking in my head today about our trip (11 days) and recalling all the things in MK. As I was thinking, standing in line at the Judges Tent came to my mind. It's the littlest things about Disney that I remember! What do you remember thet would surprise you when you suddenly thought about it?
    "When hinges creak in doorless chambers... and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls.. whenever candlelights flicker... where the air is deathly still... that is the time when ghosts are present... practicing their terror with ghoulish delight."

    This is such a good question! Everytime I think of MK, I remember walking down the ramp from the monorail. How beautiful it is on a clear morning when the weather is still in the 70's. You have the MK on oneside and the lake on the other. This memory is my happy place when I need to go there.

    Main street looking down at the castle. There is no were else that has that same view. Also the first sight of MK from the boat, seeing the castle top and Space Mountain.

    The first thought that comes to mind is the memory of my daughter seeing the castle for the first time. It was dusk and she was wearing her sleeping beauty costume being held by her dad. My son however was fast asleep in his carriage.
    We had taken a trip with my parents, brother's family and sister. Everyone ran ahead of us because they wanted to see her face when she saw the castle.
    I will never forget it.

    The first thing for me is the sweet smell of cinnamon coming from the Main Street Bakery.
    Everytime I seem to smell cinnamon it reminds me of the Magic Kingdom. What I wouldn't do for a Sticky Mickey right now!

    After getting all my belongings rummaged through, I enjoy hearing the mainstreet music combined with the bell of the train.

    I know it's been mentioned a couple of times, but for me, it's the music combined with the view of mainstreet looking at the castle. Alot of great memories of my youth and my kids that are wrapped up in that scene.

    I actually like the characters as they walk families to the rides first thing in the morning! California is so much more character focused than WDW, and I'm jealous because we don't get the same amount of attention here as they do there.

    The first view you get when you enter the park from under main street station.

    That followed by the first 5 minutes when you're thinking - "I'm really here, what am I going to do first!"

    My favorite part of any Disney World trip is the moment I walk under the train tunnel onto Main Street and see the buildings and hear the music. I'll be doing just that in 17 days!
    There is only one place I want to be......

    walking towards the castle on main street early in the morning and simultaneously catching the sweet aroma of the candy store.

    EXACTLY!!! "I can't believe I'm really here"! I take it all in!! That's what I'm saying to myself.... of course, DH sometimes says the same thing...funny though.....his tone is just not as "perky" as mine.....but his love for Disney comes from being with his family and watching how excited we all are !! He secretly does have a wonderful time...

    Another thing that just hit me this morning was the path way behing Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland. Last time we walked through there so much, I shouldn't have forgotten it!

    MK is my favorite park as well, and I think it is a family favorite. We always begin and end our vacations there. I think just stepping onto Main Street for the first time, seeing the sights and hearing the music. It always brings tears to my eyes. And when my girls were little - seeing the excitement in their faces - priceless.
