Disney World...and when you wish upon a star!
Great Holiday Weekend and please don’t hate me when I tell you about it.
Well 3 weeks ago my mother and I got the call from our best family friends to join then in Disney World to Surprise their mother for her 50th Birthday. We were the only friends they invited, so of course we said yes…and if you know anything about me is that I LOVE Disney World!!! Also it doesn’t hurt that we will be staying in the Grand Floridian (my favorite Hotel in the world) and it is all paid for except for your plane tickets. Well I can handle that…I mean I felt bad for going especially after Katrina hit, but It was planned for before hand and It was going to be rude to cancel at the last min.
So we boarded our plane with excitement at 5 am!!! (So that means I woke up at 2 because I had to pack and we live over an hour away from airport), except only to find that in Houston (our connecting flight) they had given away our tickets because the computers are down in LA because of the storm, so Mom and I were separated and I sat beside a nice father and his crazy children also heading to Disney World for their first time. I shared all my knowledge with him and he seemed very appreciative, but his kid was not so entertained he kept running up and down the aisle and were hitting people as he ran…Really who lets their children do that. One more reason why I think kids ought to have a special place reserved for them on every plane ride…IN THE BACK!!! I think I will start a petition…so please let me know if you think it’s a good thing, I think they can have games, a TV channel for cartoons and it would be away so no one care if they screamed!
Anyway, it was a marvelous weekend! Jean (the birthday girl) was totally surprised!!! I rode all the new rides (Epcot has a one where you drive a space shuttle and you actually encounter several G forces!!!), ate LOTS of good food and lots of sweets as snacks all day long (don’t you love ice cream on a hot day), watched the Amazing fireworks every night! Really, just amazing the timing is perfect with the music they are huge, and the fire works themselves now have shapes when they blow up…like hearts, stars, roses, and faces…it is worth the firework show alone to go to Disney World. It was just Magical!!! And yes, I did take some pictures with some characters…Mickey, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Mary Poppins to name my favorites!
BUT IT GETS BETTER!!!! The Baldwinds asked my mother if we wanted to stay with them an extra day! So they invited us to their Walt Disney Suite!!! Really their hotel suite had 12 dozen roses, amazing bathrooms and bedrooms, personal photos of Walt when he was young, we had our own servent…and most importantly...Orpah had stayed in that very same suite…so you know it was amazing an lush…I mean when am I ever going to have that experience again!!! But that isn’t all…NO WE HAD A PRIVATE JET FLY US HOME!!!!!!! It belonged to KARL MALONE, it sat 9 people, had a full bar, everyone had their own DVD screen, and the leather seats were the softest things I’ve sat on in my life!!!!! Only wish everyone can one day have that experience.
I’m so blessed to have the Baldwinds as our friends, and I can not thank them enough for including my mother and I for your family surprise birthday party. We shared so many memories that I will never forget…and I now know that wishes do come true at Disney World!!! So everyone wish on the next star you see!
