WDW-Memories: Relive That Walt Disney World Magic

Now, this weeks Memory was requested by Chris. This is the same Chris that requested Fantasmic, back on Memory 23. He wrote: do you have any plans of doing any of the other dark rides? Maybe a show dedicated to all of the Magic Kingdom’s dark rides.

Alright, it’s been almost a month, and I’ve been slacking off. I’m sorry. In any case, today’s Memory is a good one. It was requested by Kirsty of Norwich, England. She wrote in and said: My request is not a ride or an attraction, so to say, its more of entertainment; my request is the Dapper Dans. Again, during my recent visit, we saw these guys for the first time, on the last day of our holiday...

Today’s Memory was requested by Nick from London, he wrote: As for a request I would love to hear Big Thunder Mountain (including queue music) also definitely if you could walk down the tunnels of Space Mountain!! So I would definitely like to request Big Thunder and Space Mountain!!

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 12, Magic Kingdom Christmas Tree Lighting: On the night of our Anniversary in December 2006, we had a bit of time before our dinner reservations at the California Grille, so we rode the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom and caught the Christmas Tree lighting ceremony that occurs at the head of Main Street.

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 11, Epcot Candlelight Service: Today we’re going to attend the Epcot Candlelight service. It’s a beautiful evening and we take our seats in the middle of the theater near the trees. Our guest host tonight is one of mine (and Traci’s) favorite Christian artists, Steven Curtis Chapman. The announcer comes on, and the orchestra begins their holiday medley as the show begins.

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 10, 4 For a Dollar: As we exited the backstage tour, what do my wondering ears should hear but 4 men singing in perfect harmony. That’s right 4 For A Dollar was performing in the flatbread grille area, to a less than enthusiastic crowd. Traci and I quickly high-tail it over and take a seat near the front. The guys sing 3 more songs to which Traci and I are quite amazed...

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 09, lumberjack Nowell: We are seated right in front of his speaker as the lumberjack comes around the corner. He makes his way up to the platform and begins to change clothes. He looks kind of familiar to me, don’t you think?

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 08, Father Christmas: In the UK, things are a little more traditional. Father Christmas comes around the corner, singing on a bright and beautiful December day in 2006. He starts by getting a volunteer, which proves harder than it sounds. Then he gets back to his story of Father Christmas, the Christmas card, and Mistletoe.

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 07, Pere Noel: Today we’re seated in France, awaiting the arrival of Pierre Noel on a bright and sunny December morning in 2006. As he arrives, everyone notices, he looks like Santa, but he lost a bit of weight. He tells us the story of Babette and the Santons.

12 Days of Christmas, Memory 06, Taarji: We arrive as our story teller is taking his spot. He’s chatting with the kids, asking everyone where they’re from. Then he goes into his story of Ramadan. This is a great one for the kids.
