Have to say one other great experience is these Dissboards......Don't forget the experience starts here!
Well done all!
......Then just a few minutes later, as noisily as they came in they were bumbling around again, preparing to leave! I turned around at that time & there was a giant GOOFY, dressed in his striped red & white PJs, bumping our chairs a few more times as he trotted back out the door. Too funny!.....
....But...my new memory is sad and happy at the same time - realizing my oldest DD is growing up.....Our eyes started welling up (darn moon dust) and we held each other for a few minutes (seemed like hours). We shared a good cry (darn moon dust) and some further discussion. Anger and resentment turned to laughter and a little more understanding ........
I'm crying here. That is a touching story. I now need to call my enitre family.Our Uncle was diagnosed with cancer and was told he had less than a year to live....so we booked a celebration of life Disney Wonder cruise for 35 people...his immediate family (kids/grandkids/brothers/neices & nephews)....originally scheduled for a November cruise, in July the Dr. gave us the terrible news that he would not make it past August....so we rebooked for August....somehow avoided the hurricanes...and set sail on the wonder..."Uncle Mike" passed away two days after getting off the cruise...but while on the cruise...the staff made his final days the most memorable anyone could ever ask for...even though Uncle Mike was now on oxygen and in a wheel chair....Captain Henry came to Tritons with several characters and sang happy birthday to Uncle Mike who would never make it to his actual birthday days later....Captain Henry then invited Uncle Mike to sound the horn while leaving the Bahamas....we all gathered as he some how lifted his left arm (something he could not do for days) to push the button to sound the horn....it was the most touching moment ever....Uncle Mike's organs began to shut down and as a final farewell...captain Henry placed Uncle Mike in the front row of the show and had his grandkids go onstage as the seven drawfs.....memories everyone will remember forever...instead of sitting in a hospital bed during his last days, Uncle Mike was able to experience the magic of Disney on the Wonder.....May God Bless his soul....thank you Disney!
