Holding Hands With Mickey. Experience: Touch.

Good morning,

    Today, I am opening the fifth section of experiences that will be shared on this page, the Touch experience. This sense can be a complement to the other senses as well as a primary source of excitement. Skin is the largest organ of the human body and a multitude of experiences can be felt through it.

    This unique sense can be sollicitated in many ways, on different occasions. Of course there is that wonderful feeling of the wind on Guests' faces while riding in a roller coaster or the refreshing sensation of water when Guests enters the pool. But the Touch experience at Walt Disney World Resort doesn't limitate itself to wind in Guests' faces and water splashes. There are also special attentions, surprises, furry hugs during ''Meet & Greets'' or simply holding hands with a special someone...

    Touch can be a powerful sense in the creation, the storage, and in the processing of memories. For example, just by touching a souvenir bought during a trip or simply by wearing a shirt, Guests can re-experience or can be taken back to precise moments.

    How can I go on and forget about the shopping portion of Guests' experiences at Walt Disney World Resort? I have selected shopping to be also part of this section of experiences for a simple good reason: How many times have you shopped without touching anything?

    For some reason, when something catches my eye in a boutique, I have an uncontrollable urge to touch it, examine it, even wear it if possible. I am sure that a very large portion of the population does the same while shopping. For some reason, it seems like I can really see better with the item in my hands than laying on the shelves.

    So, as you can guess, there will be plenty of opportunities for me to share in this section. From roller coaster rides, to splashes, hugs, shopping and more. I cannot wait to finally devellop about Touch. In fact, all of the five main sections should be filling up quite quickly.

    This post concludes the first round about experiences, a lot more is coming up as I will bring more detailed experiences descriptions, special events and locations in the future.

    Have a magical day,
