When entering the parc to you have your own special rite? Is it something special, touching or do you just have in mind to run to the first ride?

I always take a deep breath when putting my ticket into the turnslide at the entrance, and take the first step into the parc beeing very very very glad to be back.
Then I try to catch the first train and have a ride around the parc to check if everything is still there where it should be.
Just the way an slow start into a wonderful day full of enjoyment should be.

I like to go to the railroad especially when I'm with ones there for the first time. I gives such an lovely impression over the whole parc.

Is there someone kissing the floor when arriving? <!-- s:-D -->:-D<!-- s:-D -->

I'm more practical I guess... :) Usually we arrive at noon... after we check in to our hotel we go to the studios and see cinemagique or another show which is about to start... but cinemagique is my favorite in the studios... when we did as much as we could do at the studios and they are about to close we go over to disneyland parc and take a lot of time going down main street... last time we didn't wanna see the castle until the very end... so we did go through the arcades... and worked our way back through the shops... and when we arrived at the pavillion at town square... we turned at it was just magical :) sounds pretty silly :D but it was totally worth it...

We normally head straight to Earls for a bite to eat - we normally arrive about midday. We then head into the studios due to it being the afternoon.
We always plan the days according to what we want to go on. This year is going to be a bit crazy because we are going with friends as well as being a large family group (13 of us- 6 kids) so have to take them into consideration. I know at least my friend doesn't do a lot of the rides so it's just the kids to sort out.

When entering the main park i like to stand when we get through the gates and remember past years. I like to think i can become a child again for the next few days and my children don't think i'm being silly :-D

I'm still trying to understand the strange noise that the ticket machine makes! I think it may be the word "welcome"but I'm not sure!

I allways head straight for Fantasyland through the castle and go on "Blanche neige.." followed by a visit to the Dwarfs cottage shop next door. It has allways been my favourite ride and shop in the park ever since I was a child- from the ride itself to all the little details like the characters backdrop. I was huge fan of Snow white when I was a child- and the theming with her still makes me very happy.

Hi
When we first arrive, we will often pop into the Disneyland Hotel to reacquaint with the lovely smell that floats around in there!  Then we'll enter the turnstiles (each saying "Welcome" in that funny voice), next it's a stroll up Main Street USA, gazing at the castle view, and ultimately we'll head for Buzz as our first ride of the trip!  :D

you are correct, it really says "welcome"...but not every time, it is a randomized action

First thing we do is get our green card for handicapped ppl, then  either hop the railroad or see if we can get a ride on BTM

WhenI first enter through the turnstiles, I spend time just strolling through Mainstreet, checking out the shops for a new ornament or add to my collection of watches. Once we've had a look around the shops it's straight onto Frontierland to my favourite ride BTM, after that I'm happy to go with the flow. :D
