When I was young, the "moment" was when we saw the sign telling us to tune in to Disney's radio station to hear Park info (it was sooo cool, Mickey had his own radio station !). Then it was seeing the "pioneer Mickey" sign leading into Fort Wilderness.

For me, seeing road signs is a good start, but I think I FEEL like I'm there when I walk through the doors of the resort lobby and start to HEAR the sounds of WDW, such as background music and even crowd murmur...THAT'S WDW to me!

When we hit Orlando traffic, and my wife directs me to the Disney Outlet store. I know, I know....it's not WDW, but it's close. But that is always our first stop. And you can start pin trading right there.
Well, really, I agree with most other posters when they say it's walking into the lobby of the resort and hearing the music. That is WDW to me.
