    Default 100 Little Details about the Parks You Love!

    Help me start my 100 day countdown to my WDW trip by reminding me of all the little details that we love about the parks. I suppose you could include the resorts too, if you really feel so inclined! Remember, the more specific the detail, the better!

    Here's my example:
    At the entrance to Splash Mountain is Brer Rabbit, hobo pack slung over shoulder, gazing out his window, dreaming of adventure. I know that because you can tell just by looking at his face!

    That's just one. List as many as you'd like.

    Let's see if we can get 100+ responses!

    I really love the fact that all the Epcot World Showcase Pavillions are employed with people from those countries. It just makes it that much more authentic.

    I love all the explorer artifacts as you wend your way through the queue at Expedition Everest. The Yeti drawings, the journals, the shelves of books, the camping gear stowed in various areas, the hint that something didn't go quite right, and the danger of the yeti ahead. It really sets the mood.

    I have two:

    1. I love the key under the mat at Muppet Vision 3D. It is just one of those fun little extras that the Imagineers added.

    2. The fountain of Cinderella in the Magic Kingdom. If you are leaning down to get a drink from the fountain or are a small child, there is a painting above Cinderella that makes her look like she is wearing a crown. It really took thought and care to do this.

    I love Mr. Toad's tombstone in the Pet Cemetery at the exit for Haunted Mansion. His "Wild Ride" will live on in our hearts forever.

    I love the window that looks out to lady and the tramp in the alley sharing spaghetti on the way to the restrooms in Tony's restaurant.

    I also really love the dancing fountains at Epcot

    I love in the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh how you can see Mr. Toad handing the deed to the property to Owl. Also, that Pooh's Thotful Shop smells like honey.

    Just thought of another.

    The Electrical Water Pageant. That is one of the only things that has remained unchanged since the park opened. Pure magic.

    I love the sights and sounds of Main Street! Watching a child's face light up the first time they see the castle. I always tell my husband I wish we could live in a small little town like Main Street!

    I love watching my grandchildren play in the lights that are embedded in the sidewalk outside of Innovations at EPCOT...priceless.

    I love how every Epcot pavillion- both Future World and World Showcase- and most rides everywhere else- have their own unique cast costume that complements the attraction's theme.
