Magical Moments

This summer our family went on vacation to Walt Disney World. Wow, we had a blast!

This year was the Year of a Million Dreams, and we certainly got ours! Upon check-in at the Contemporary Resort, John was told to bring the family to the front desk because they had a surprise for us. (I had just been telling the big girls how unlucky we were.) We were told that we had been chosen as Family of the Day. This meant an upgrade to the main tower (we were staying in the garden suites) for the duration of our stay. Wow! We got chocolates and nuts and a certificate and balloons. Our name was on the hotel monitors. It was amazing. But wait, that's not all, they took A LONG TIME getting our room ready and we ended up getting yet another upgrade for our inconvenience-- this included staying on the club level. Maddy and Stephie were thrilled that we had to use our hotel key to even stop on our floor! There was a lovely lounge that had constant buffet yummies-- and oh, the lounge had a magic kingdom view, so we got to watch the fireworks from the lounge. What a magical memory for us!

Other Magical Moments:

Nicky was so excited when he met Mickey Mouse. Wow. That was incredible. He was so enthralled, and Mickey took extra time with him which was very special.

Lilly was just thrilled over the princesses -- especially Cinderella. She is convinced, as her mother was before her, that she will someday live in the castle.

Stephie got a kick out of seeing Dopey and touching his hand. He is a long-time favorite for her.

Maddy's highlight would have to be when a very cute Aladdin waved to her from atop his parade float.
