Part of what makes a visit to Walt Disney so wonderful is when a guest or family receives a Magical Moment. What constitutes a Magical Moment? It is something orchestrated to occur on a continual basis in an effort to make as many guests feel like they have had a special experience.
Let me share with you some of the most renown.
As guests line up in front of the Mickey planter prior to park opening, one family is chosen to help kick it all off. They are brought to the top of the train station, and are joined by the Mayor and fellow citizens (dancers), as well as a host of Disney characters that arrive by train. The family joins the cast in doing a countdown. A few moments later, everyone heads into the park.
