So you wanted something that was just pure magic with nothing free, no upgrades, just pure magic? Got plenty but one of my favorites:
My adult son had been going through a very hard time - divorce, sudden medical issues (turns out he has nerve damage in his spinal cord), depression, just a hard time. I hadn't seen him smile in a year, not one tiny little smile. We were walking back to BW from Epcot one night, just usual great day at Disney and there was a private party going on at YC. We could hear the music where we were walking. All of the sudden my son just started laughing and dancing because he was at Disney and it was his happy place. Right in the middle of the walkway, him dancing and me crying because not only was he smiling, he was laughing and dancing.
That is pure magic and has nothing to do with free upgrades, free food, just pure magic. It couldn't have happened anywhere else because WDW has always been his and my place. Through the years there have been others that have gone with us but we always have had the best times just he and I and just being there. We had actually been on trips to other places that year but Disney was where he found his smile.
