    I have to agree the feeling I have when I emerge from the train station onto Main Street and take-in the sights, sounds and aromas is fantastic.

    And then its everything else...

    Frontier land is my second so i so get where you are coming from. I especially love the splash mountain gift shop for some reason. Fond memories i guess

    Coming in through the gates and walking down Main Street and seeing the Castle for the first time on your vacation.

    When I am in the Magic Kingdom there is honestly NO OTHER place I'd rather be on earth!!!

    Happy Happy Happy place!!

    I cry every time I arrive and when we are leaving the park for the last time of a trip, just because I feel blessed to have been able to get back to my favorite place. Crazy...right?

    I love seeing the castle for that first moment, but I am usually trying to take in our kids faces each time we are walking down main street. My moment is when I step on our traditional first ride - the TTA. When I step on and then our ride takes off and I feel the breeze on my face, I take in the smells, the music and the park from above. That is my favorite thing!

    Watching the fireworks burst in the sky over the castle, while "When You Wish Upon a Star" is playing, well that's a pretty magical moment; the purest essence of Disney magic for me.

    I really love walking through the MK, especially Frontierland and Liberty Square, at night when it starts to get less crowded. I just love the music and the lighting.

    gotta be a tie between the view of Main Street leading to the Castle, and Tomorrowland. Those two things are etched into my brain, music and all. Can't wait to see them again!

    I love going up to the train station and looking down, you can see the castle and all of main street! I got some great pics of all the Halloween decorations when we were there this month. It's breathtaking!!!!!

    I also love walking around frontier land into adventure land. That part of the park just makes me really happy

    It definitely is when I get my first glimpse of Main Street with the Castle in the background. I get goose bumps just thinking about it and the best part is that my hubby & I will be there is 26 days!! Woo Hoo!

    When you turn the corner in the outdoor stretch of Splash Mountain (on your way to the drop, not at the top of the drop) and you can see the whole MK and Seven Seas Lagoon spread out around you, my breath catches every time.

    We have been there many times, but my favorite goosebump feeling is starting down Main Street after entering when all the Christmas decorations are up.
