DH and I LOVE Epcot at night. A few years ago, after Illuminations was over, they used to play this music that was faintly reminiscent of something. We just couldn't figure out what it was. A few nights later, we figured it out - the song (just music, no words) was VERY close to Michael Jackson's Will You Be There. So, now every time we hear that song, we think of Epcot.
My happy place is watching the manatees. Or sitting in Morocco watching people.
We had APs for several years (we let them expire last year), and while we didn't have a lot of extra money, we were close enough to make day trips a couple times a month. I really think that saved our sanity from various work/personal issues. It was our happy place.
