I've got so MANY wonderful Disney memories, but since I'm only supposed to list one, this is it.
I've visited Disney many times as a child and as an adult/parent. But it took years for me to finally get to Disney with my DH and my 2 DD's at the same time. We finally all got to go together this past December and stayed at our first deluxe resort. My DH picked the Poly and we had a wonderful time. So my best memory is going to Disney with my entire family for Christmas. It doesn't get any more magical than that for me!

Oh goodness it is sooo hard to choose a favorite memory of Disney as there are so many.

I think maybe the best memory is of our very first trip as a family. Dh had never been before and it was also the first trip for DS (8 at the time) DD (4 at the time) and DD (6 months at the time). When we first entered MK and DH, DS and DD caught sight of the castle from Main Street. The look on all their faces was priceless and DD was screaming "theres cinderella's castle cinderellas castle cinderellas castle.... i have to go to cinderellas castle" She was having no part of stopping for characters or pictures she was walking straight to that castle. That was just awesome... I still have her little voice full of excitement on video and now that they are 12,8 and 5 they love watching that over and over again.

There are so many of our first trip together but the one that popped into my head first was when my DD at age 4 saw Simba for the first time...We went to Festival of the Lion King and we sat on the side where Simba comes out...The look on her face will be etched into my memory forever...I felt so much emotion for her that we both had tears running down our faces...She then turned around and said to me "thank you for the best day of my life" and squeezed my hand...Thru the whole show she just stared at him...When it was over she tried to go up to him and sing "I just cant wait to be king"...I dont think that I had ever seen her that happy...

At CRT, when my DD (2 weeks away from being 3) joined in the wishing - closed her eyes, waved, and just really, truly believed. I cried like a big baby (but hid it pretty well).

OMG there are so many!! It's so hard to pick... I know you asked for one but I really can't pick between two,. The first was during our last trip in Dec 2007. It was our first day and we went straigh to MGM after checking in the hotel. For all the times I've been to Disney in my life (too many to count) I've never been during the Christmas season. When dusk hit we head over to the streets of america and when ever we turned the corner to see the Osborne Lights, our breath was literally taken away. I looked at my DH and DD and all three of us had tears in our eyes. It was the most perfect moment

Then during the same trip during the MVMCP we got caught in a rain storm. We ran into IASW so get out of the rain and when we got out we didin't have a chance to get in front of the castle before the fireworks started. We were right behind the castle near Dumbo. Well any-one who has seen the fireworks from here knows that they are literally going off over your head. It was breathtaking. At one point my DD(7) looked at me and said," Momma, this is SO magical" It melted my heart.

Way too many...but one of my favorites...
When my oldest DS was about 3 he loved Toy Story. We were at Hollywood Studios and the Green Army Men came out. He froze! Of course it not do help that he had not had a nap, he was tired, hot, and very cranky. Several of the army men noticed and tried their best to get a smile from him. They played "peekaboo", "gonna getcha", and tried on his had and sunglasses. No smile! After about 10 minutes...one of the men picked him up out of his stroller and started walking with him! He took him straight to Mickey Mouse (who at that time signed autographs near the magic hat). Of course there was a long line, however the Green Army man took him straight to the front of the line right into the arms of Mickey. I have never to this day..(DS is now 14) seen him light up and smile as big as he did. Pure Magic. By this time two of the Green Army Men had joined him and and they started jumping up and down and doing cartwheels! They were excited to finally get a smile.
That video and picture are one of my prized possessions.
Like I said....Pure Magic!

For me it is three separate incidents but each one was really just like the last one. That is the look on their faces the first time each of my three kids walked into the Magic Kingdom for the first time!
