A woman after my own heart!
It's funny, isn't it, how certain rides and/or experiences are so evocative that if we are unable to do the ride/experience we feel as if our trip is just somehow sadly "off". In our family (now with married daughters and 6 grandchildren ranging in age from 12 years to 14 months) we have compiled such a lengthy shared history of Disney that when we plan our combined vacations to Disney, even the smallest changes require a family consensus before anything can be changed. Crystal Palace is ALWAYS breakfast and ALWAYS the first Magic Kingdom day--well, we finally figured out that we are missing some prime low crowd ride opportunities by eating breakfast from 8 to 10 am, so why not do lunch instead? When my DH raised this suggestion, he (wisely) prefaced it by saying, "I know it's tradition to go to breakfast, and of course we would all need to agree, but I had a thought on Crystal Palace..."
I'm pretty sure the new NAFTA treaty required less delicate negotiations.
But I'm also really looking forward to the new rides and attractions coming in the next few years. We were all collectively bummed out about Ellens Universe of Energy closing---especially myself and my DH and oldest DGS--when he was a toddler he loved dinosaurs and we have such fond memories of cuddling with him on that ride--now he's as tall as I am and maybe heavier--so not much pulling him into my lap these days, lol--but I'm sure the new ride will be amazing and so we will just have to make new memories.
As long as I have my train ride.
And the Liberty Belle.
Oh, and Peoplemover.
and Pirates. and Peter Pan.
and It's a Small World. and BTMRR. and Haunted Mansion.
and then over in EPCOT.....
.........But I can handle change! Honest!
