Andrew and Mikki Young's Disney Pages

Our Most Memorable Disney Moments

1.     Ringing the bell and announcing the opening of the Liberty Tree Tavern.  Do they like asking the British to shout out "Oyez! Oyez! Let Freedom reign"?

2.     Seeing the Premier of “Fantasia 2000" at the Royal Albert Hall, London;  hearing Roy Disney introduce the piece in person;  mixing “Pomp and Circumstance” in its most famous home with Donald Duck;  watching Mickey Mouse shake maestro Levine's hand in person.

3.     Every vacation when we step for the first time into the living room of a one bedroom apartment at our “home” DVC resort of Old Key West.  The size of that place is just “wow”.

4.     The first time we saw the Main Street Electrical Parade

5.     Taking the Train tour at the Magic Kingdom.  Visiting the Roundhouse and watching all the safety checks.  Extra special for Andrew, who used to act as lawyer to the British Railway Inspectorate on safety matters.

6.     That last day of our vacation when we were walking through the lobby of the Polynesian Resort and saying, "It’s been a great holiday even if we haven’t met Mickey Mouse”  - and suddenly there is a three fingered white glove on Mikki’s shoulder.

7.     Being recognised and welcomed by cast members who have not seen us for 2 or 3 years (and must see thousands of other people every day).

8.     Mikki celebrating one of those special birthdays with two of our best friends in WDW, having breakfast with Mickey Mouse and starting the evening sipping Champaign on the balcony of our apartment overlooking the lake and fountain at Old Key West.

9.    Being upgraded to the Concierge Floor of the Contemporary Resort for 3 nights

10.  Seeing the Opening Ceremony of a new Disney Park - Euro Disney.  It rained and the taxi driver claimed he had never heard of the place and the park changed its name after a couple of years, but, We Were There!
