    Ah, Mary Poppins homage? Very nice.
    The only tradition I can think of is when we're riding PoTC. The captain of the ship orders the crew to "fire at will", and we shout out, "Which one's Will?"
    ...Which always made me think the writers of the film version also did the same thing.
    Oo-de-lally!

    Re: Park traditions

    Usually I play Disney songs when I enter. Always pray that we picked the right line to park. Call the tram the first ride of the day. Take a pic of us on the tram. I think that's it?

    No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
    And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
    No broken heart,
    No familiar scars,
    This territory goes uncharted...

    Re: Park traditions

    We enter the Park from the tunnel on the left. Read the plaque to remind us to follow it, so we have a great time. Proceed to City Hall to pick up a birthday button and Goofy's phone call (each trip is in relation to one of our six b-days). Then let the "b-day boy or girl" decide which ride to go on first. Of course, I always supercede that decision with one thing...A stop in the Disneyana store to see what's new, then we are off to the ride. The final tradition of the trip would be to let the b-day boy decide what will be the last thing to ride on for that trip.

    There are others, but they are small (like churro's, whips, candy) and are mixed in the middle of our trips.

    Mine is not entering, but rather leaving. Those that I'm with and I always take a nice, relaxing ride on the railroad, usually the last time they go around the park. It's so peaceful to see the Park when it's closing.

    Re: Park traditions

    Whenever my cousins and I go to Disneyland the first thing we all do is run to space mountain. Last one to get there has to get fastpasses for everyone on a ride selected by the majority. And of course the usual calling of "Shotgun" for the ride home, which is basically a sprint to the car once the tram has made a full and complete stop. In that case, the first one to touch the car is awarded the front passenger seat.

    Always have to go seek out Shelly in the camera shop and tell her how DL is so much better because she works there. Here's the stupid one. I stop in front of the fire engine while it's driving down Main Street until he honks at me to move. Then I pretend to not hear him.


    This has been a Filmways presentation dahling.
