One of the curious things that happens when you travel to Walt Disney World often enough is that you develop some unusual associations—places or moments in your everyday life that somehow transport you to the magical land of princesses and pixie dust. For instance, it’s a well-known phenomenon that the sense of smell is the most powerful in conjuring up old memories. Anytime I get a whiff of barbecue sauce, I’m instantly transported to the burning-of-Rome scene in Spaceship Earth, as well as the rootin’ tootin’ mayhem of Whispering Canyon Café. The smell of chocolate (or a freshly baked pastry) always puts me on Main Street, U.S.A., whether it’s at the Confectionery or the Main Street Bakery. A cinnamon-laced apple pie (heck, a cinnamon-laced anything!) takes me to the front row of Mickey’s PhilharMagic. Sometimes the moment can be as simple as an early evening stroll. When I walk by a beautiful garden and get a whiff of fragrant roses, I’m reminded of the rose-lined pathways that lead to World Showcase. The phenomenon can be triggered by my other senses as well. For example, a quaint streetlamp glowing in the deepening twilight brings to mind the quiet pathway that runs by the canal under the bridge between Epcot and Crescent Lake. Perhaps it’s an association born out of years of Disney tradition. After many years of enjoying the festive magic of the holidays at Walt Disney World, I’ve found that the music takes me back more often than not. When I hear classic Christmas songs at home such as “Frosty the Snowman” by Mitch Miller and the Gang (a personal childhood favorite), I’m instantly transported to the Magic Kingdom, where memories of Very Merry Christmas Parties from years past bring a warm smile to my face, no matter how cold it is outside. So where does it happen for you? What everyday moments take you back to Walt Disney World, if only for a fleeting instant? Whatever they are, they’re surely different for everyone, but definitely just as meaningful. Enjoy the magic!

I’ve sat on a shaded bench just paying attention not to the background music, fireworks in the distance, or nearby parades, but to the people strolling by. I listen and hear laughter, questions, and even the sad disappointment of a child who wants just one more ride. But I also hear the conversations of those who seem frustrated that they didn’t “do it all,” and I get a little disappointed too. Why? Because on some level, they’ve missed out on the most important thing of all. They haven’t realized that it’s not about what you’re doing, but where you are. It’s not about how many attractions you can experience or how many shows you can see. It’s about the time; the time you spend doing anything, or even nothing at all. It’s a funny photo taken while waiting for a monorail or a dad laying his daughter down to sleep after a busy day collecting autographs. In fact, some of my fondest memories of my Walt Disney World vacations with my family aren’t only about riding If You Had Wings with
