Magical Memory

Our last trip to Walt Disney World in December was for my husband’s 50th birthday. On our first day at Animal Kingdom we stopped at Guest Services to get a birthday celebration pin for my husband to wear. He was a little reluctant, but I encouraged him to wear it. He loved the birthday greetings he received from the Cast Members in all the parks as they called him by name and wished him a Happy Birthday. He was selected to join in the Magic Kingdom Parade (definitely got that on video), he received a free brownie at Casey’s Corner, and a free pretzel at a street vending cart. It made for magical memories and the smile on my husband’s face was great. He talked about our Walt Disney vacation for months after we got home.

I took a Father/Daughter trip with just my 9-year-old daughter, and had to write in about a Magical Moment we had. My daughter and I were waiting for Mary Poppins to come to the United Kingdom pavilion. We asked a Cast Member when Mary Poppins would arrive and she tells us that Mary Poppins doesn’t meet there, but down the path next to the cottage. Just as we were about to go, the Cast Member says ‘Oh, here comes Mary Poppins now,’ and to my daughter’s delight, she sees Mary Poppins walking towards her. Mary Poppins starts walking with my daughter down the path, alone, to the place where she needs to be for her meet and greet. When she gets to her destination and says ‘Oh, I see there are people waiting to meet me, thank you for walking with me.’ The smile on my daughter’s face was priceless, this was a dream come true, not just for my daughter but me as well.
