Nostalgia: Face it—Mickey and company are old friends. And you probably have childhood pictures of yourself in front of Cinderella Castle. Even if you don't, nobody does yesteryear better: head to Main Street U.S.A. or Hollywood Boulevard and see.
Memories in the Making: Who doesn't want to snap photos of Sis on the Dumbo ride or of Junior after his Splash Mountain experience? It's hard to resist the urge to pass that Disney nostalgia on to the next generation.
The Thrills: For some this means roller-coasting to an Aerosmith soundtrack or simulating space flight; for others it's about cascading down a water slide or going on safari.
The Chills: If the Pirates of the Caribbean cave doesn't give you goosebumps, try the Haunted Mansion or Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
The Spectacle: The list for this is long: fireworks, laser-light displays, arcade games, parades, stunt shows, musical revues.
