I think this is shaping up to be one of our best trips ever! Cast members have been wonderful, the busses have been running amazingly well, great conversations with other guests, beautiful weather, reasonable crowds, almost got all my stamps in the Festival booklet, finally did the Tea Garden tour, found great spots to sit and watch the Star Wars fireworks (wow!)...
And we keep running into random clouds of pixie dust!
Just a couple examples: Went to see if the cm at the fire station had either of the last two cards I was looking for. She didn't, but asked if I wanted to trade anyway, so I offered her one of my star duplicates, figuring it'd be a nice surprise for the next person coming along. Behind the card she gave me was one of the party cards, for a party I'd missed!
And the other night, we stopped in at guest services to make a fourth fastpass, only to find the machines down. So we asked the cm at the counter if she could make one for us. Instead, she gave us three, anytime, for our top three choices! Really made the night magical.
And there's been more!
It makes me a bit wistful that it will be nearly twenty months before we come back. Disney really seems to be stepping up their game with all the little extra touches this trip. Just the other night, for example, we noticed they were piping in the soundtrack to the Star Wars fireworks on the bridge between Aof A and Pop (nice view there, btw).
It's the little touches like that which make this place special.
