Magic in the Kingdom 2012! BIG 2/16/2014 FINAL UPDATE!

[mom2rtk]

Sorry this took so long to get under way everyone. I walked in the door from our trip sick, and still had Christmas shopping to do.

I'll start this TR the same way I started the last 2.......... with a photo with the World's best Fairy Godmother!

So much for suspense, right? I reported last summer that our odds of finding her on this trip didn't look good. So how happy were we to find her in her regular spot behind the castle!

I overlooked your comment on the FG. When was your trip? She was only out 2 days out of our 10 day trip. We were very luck to catch her.

WOW, I bet people are really going to wonder on that one huh?
