I start getting excited from the second we book our trips to DLRP. In fact, I'm excited pretty much all the time because I'm anticipating my next trip, even if it's not booked. :lol:

see im not the only one!!!

[miss disney fan]

for me it has to be as soon as we come back from our last trip, as at the start of the trip (last one was november) we say this will be the last time at DLRP and then think about going else where for a hoilday  :-" , but we have such a good time and fall in love with disney that as soon as we get home we are planning are next trip, we go again next october (2009) and yet we already have planned where we are eating (sad i know but it helps it keep that much closer, lol  / )

As we always get the bus from the airport,it is when we first spot the park in the distance ! Used to be the castle and BTM but now HTH really stands out on the horizon !!

Hey I'm always feeling magical  :lol:

For me the magical feeling really hits me when i get off the Eurostar and hear the Disney music, it actually makes me want to cry knowing that im back home.

I can agree with all the above posts.

I am excited as soon as I think about booking my next visit.
But the moment that really gets us all in my family (6 of us aged from 10 - 65) is when we walk under the main street station - none of us say anything we just keep our head down until we are out from under the station then we all look up at the castle/main street.

Usually we see the Christmas Tree first, cos we usually visit in December but then after a while ...................
 

we can;t see anything at all - the tears block the view.  :cry:

Cant wait until 8th December when we return again!!! :santa:

 :mickey2:walking through the DV (especially early in the morning before anything is open)
 :mickey2:Walking towards fantasia garden and the disneyland hotel,
 :mickey2:getting your bag searched, bit of a strange one but you know your beeing looked after, and they normally get to know me pretty quickly and the morning joke of "oh your bag makes the detector bleep" lol (soooo many electricals, camera, camcorder etc)
 :mickey2:putting you pass into the ticket machines! knowing your just steps away from magic!  :shock:
 :mickey2:Main street station, knowing its the only thing blocking your view of the castle,
 :mickey2:walking under the station, knowing your only seconds away ....
 :mickey2:your first (of many) times you lay your eyes on the castle, be it your first time or your 100th, it never fails to make me shed tears of joy
 :mickey2:taking that first photo, though the tears lol

I LOVE IT AND I'M ADDICTED!!!!! DEC 8th CAN@T COME QUICK ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

[giselle]

I can agree with all that.

I noticed you can't wait for the 8th December too, where are you staying. We are returning to the Sequioa Lodge cos it feels really Christmassy!

[Clarebelle]

Yeah Sequoia too, we got a Monatana lake view (would be cheaper to go to NPBC but I had my heart set on a Christmas at Sequoia!), but we have never stayed here before, whats it like at christmas?

Edit: WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!!!  :cheshire_bounce:

lol we do that everytime, last time I make a tex mex dinner (we were staying at Santa Fe) before that we just has to tell EVERYONE!! lol it was my first time back for many years. we havent celebrated the booking this time, (it was about a week before we wet to london to see the foos, so I suppose our meal at the rainforest cafe counts ... nah!) other than bouncing off the walls and planning as much as I can! I will have to change that!

[giselle]

The Sequioa Lodge Hotel at Christmas is fantastic. I have stayed at Sante Fe, Cheyenne and Newport Bay too, but I feel the Sequioa Lodge is more Christmassy.  

If you imagine Bing Crosby singing White Christmas around the piano with the 2 ladies in the film, they are staying in a little stone cottage, the middle of nowhere, in the snow, it reminds me of that.

Stone walls and floors, great big open roaring log fires and lots of lights and christmas trees  :santa:

I am sure you will love it

[Clarebelle]

oooohhhhhh I really cant wait!! do you have any photos? I'm so excited!

now planning my 21st birthday! (dream castle 3 nights paris 3 nights, london 2 maybe? don't know yet) and the best bit is its my bf 21st exactically one month after (9th March and 9th April lol were freaks) so we will probably be going back again for that (cheyenne because he loves the chuck wagon  :roll: )
