What's your WDW 'thing'?

We were chatting this morning and planning our next trip...now, we all know its more than rides, shows and parades; it's all the little things that make a Disney holiday so magical and memorable. So, what's your Disney holiday 'thing' that makes it special for you? I know its hard to pick just one but for me (today!) it's calling into Poly forTonga Toast after rope drop at MK, leaving early and then having half an hours chill!

Sitting outside the GF QS restaurant in the evening, eating your meal and watching the fireworks. AMAZING.

Very late nights in summer shutting down the park after a while in tomorro land then walking for the bus back to Coronado Springs with a cup of Starbucks tea looking at all the Main Street lights, it may be perfection.

Meandering into Epcot on our first day at around midday after shopping in the morning. Just that stroll up to the 'golf ball' past the baking hot leave a legacy plaques and the fountain where each year my husband will say "do you remember when we lost a ball in that fountain?" (After our first ever trip as a couple). Then riding Spaceship Earth and I know I've arrived. Nothing is more my WDW thing than our traditional first-afternoon-in-Epcot visit.

There's so many but I love that point where you're exhausted in MK so just head for the People Mover. I wish I could bring a Dole Whip into it!

Watching granddaughter Caitlin standing in front of the magic carpets waiting for the camel to squirt at her

Although I do love the Magic Kingdom after dark when everywhere is lit up. Heaven!

What is Tonga Toast? I will be on the DDP next year, will this count as a snack? Would love to try it!

Going to Epcot and getting an Ice Cream in France and sitting on a bench near the water in England watching the fishing boats go by. So relaxing. I love sitting with my DH and just watching the world go by and everyone having a lovely time together.

Oh my! Tonga toast is a thick slice of sourdough bread that is stuffed with bananas and then deep fried and coated with cinnamon sugar. It is served with syrup and there are no more words...
