I love seeing reels from my favorite Disney films being displayed on the castle accompanied by incredible music and pyrotechnics.

6. Blasting off on Space Mountain Hearing the liftoff countdown as you blast off into the dark galaxy on Space Mountain is an adrenaline rush that always leaves me with goosebumps.

7. Biting Into a Mickey Premium Bar on a Hot Park Day Mickey Premium ice cream bars are as classic as Disney World itself.  Now park guests see Mickey bars on shirts, hats, air fresheners and refrigerator magnets.  Still, nothing tops the real thing.  Biting into a chocolate dipped ice cream bar shaped like the mouse himself on a hot day in The Magic Kingdom is nothing short of heavenly.
