A couple of Happy Places...
Orlando Airport... when we arrive, not when we are going home though.
Epcot, sitting in the pre show of the American Adventure watching the Voices of Liberty.

And the moment when the music stops and the flames are "blown" out just before the action starts - that moment is my happy place.

So where is yours?
Mine is actually the very same as yours (minus the pretzel ) The Spaten beer from Germany was amazing stuff! It has sadly now changed We also sit on the warm ground and enjoy the pre IllumiNations music. Epcot seams to come to life when the flames are on, and the park light levels dimmed.

I'm not sure if you know, but if you download the MouseWorld Radio app for you iPhone, you often hear the pre IllumiNations loop and full show music If you don't have an iPhone you can listen at mouseworldradio.com

What a lovely thread... I was already fit to burst with exitement and now I think I have!

My happy places are ; the ferry ride to MK, warm breeze blowing in my face and the castle getting closer.
Sitting in the Fantasmic ampitheatre doing the Mexican wave with the show about to start.

Sitting in the rocking chairs at the store over at FWL with the relaxing country music playing.

The christmas shop in DTD

La Cantina in Mexico...

Anywhere in frontier land!

Sorry... that was loads.

A huge cliche, but it's a cliche for a reason... mine is when I walk in to Main Street in MK on the first morning and all the memories come flooding back (and the popping in to the bakery for a cake )

Great thread.

My main one would be stepping out of the airport doors, to smell that unbelivable Florida air, warm and with a smell all of it's own and knowing that we have two fabulous weeks of magic ahead of us.

Roll on Feb...

We didn't know this! Gonna check it out! Many thanks for this top tip!

Thanks to everyone for taking time out to visit their happy place, and then post it for the rest of us to enjoy. Some have really given us the warm and fuzzy feeling, and others drawn out a sentimental tear or two!
