thanks h.queen , for the info...i think my lil'cutie pie might
enjoy such a tour. ca't imagine anyone being
upset for letting others know what is available for
their kindred spirits. after all, isn't sharing the coolest
thing to do @ any disney park?
in reality , it is my wonderful wife who the disney leader
in our family. at best, i am just her tag~a~long. and
just by luck, & great table mates from a disney cruise,
we became dvc members. so instead of buying her
another ring, she got 3 contacts ( one each for the
3 wonderful children that has blessed our life).
well the thing about bj's feelings, he came across as he stated &
was making a lot of sense to me , esp. since he has went through
some tough times recently. (many fall back on past experiences
that give them security & comfort.) i am guessing, but besides
good food & service, does this club add special encounters too?
..do they have doggie bags?-yes ours are that special!
( and their names begin with m&m-not candy)
hope your upcoming trip , is your best yet! ( i remember when
you trying to set it up & read many times trying to help
others....however, we already spent our points. but
i think over coming obstacles eventually lead to greater rewards. )
i also thought the "magic" door opener was very special too,
" in~your~deeds!"
your input had warm feelings too share~ & "they" brought back
many great memories from the unlikely sources -the workers-
going out of their way. your inspiration & excitement..may
encourage a young guest to be the next cinderella. you are a teacher
in many ways. it reminded me- my daughter grades school teacher,
taking her experiences & created a learning program. in this situation,
it taught my daughter about some of her family connections. but
most of all, i think it's neat to take a daily routine while adding a few
special touches.
i am not a great-"great" disney fan. it isn't because i dread going to
the parks and tolerating all the crowds,
, i was glad when
our boys were out-growing their disney expectations. but then a
funny thing happened on the way to early retirement, we were
blessed with a lil'girl. more than being a miracle ~ she had her (dear)
grandmother's beautiful red hair. also 1oyears prior, i had made a
promise to my wife.."if disney ever build a cruise ship, i'll take you".
i never dream...
if you asked my wife, she tell how i tried every way to get
out of that promise, but she would not budge. & in those
early d~years, it was "an experience" from another family
with a lil'girl too. that precious
kept bugging her
mother- to ask us if she could sit by our daughter. no body
was going to tell her any difference!, she was sitting
next to the "real ariel". sure wished i took a picture of
the moment. later we had to played the crazy crt revs.
"wheel of fortune". it took us a few times, "just to figured"
what we were up against. one time, i wanted to give a
special treat for my wife. what i did ....took a autograph book,
and made it into a "baby bragged" book. i realized the
disney girls, are @ the age where they are beginning
thinking about finding their princes...& new life. the
first princess missed "the target", but the ms. snow girl
got it prefectly & they all together- "gave" the 2 most important
princesses- in my world, a royal tour.
afterwards, the snow girl whispered to my daughter ...how
lucky to have such a wonderful mother, never thinking
it came from her daddy. but the really important thing, my wife
knew. that's magic that cannot be seen but only
felt,
so , if others have different feelings/meanings for the parks,
like here- doesn't always mean someone is wrong.recently, on
the theme boards, the poster overheard some teens talking
about the "walt dude" . many felt they were missing something
but i thought he would had been happy~ that the youth of
the day, are still talking about him.
in my ways of thinking, the disney properties are a location
& in reality, can be whatever "we" make them. i am reminded
of the picture where walt watching his daughter on the pony
rides. what does it takes to find such happiness? for me , it
was my wife squeezing my hand after the "snow white"
girl gave her the very high praises.
when can one make a difference? like when a family having to
cope with a melt down? instead of staring , maybe offering a cold
drink or encouraging word? just an observation, but
i come to learn that a disney park is big enough place, to hold dreams
- no matter the size or shape or even color- & the "secret"
for making them into reality, are the "acts of kindness".
now all that above was to set the table for the following; as
i have no special disney connections, nor insider knowledge. but
sometimes, paths are crossed that makes one think-a lil' harder.
a friend @ work was very interested in our trips. she is
an adult with her own family & wanting to go to wdw.
she & her family have never went & knows less than
me. but as we talk, she spoke of her grandparents. they too ,
were never disney/park folks. however,
she had grew up listening to her grandparents' vacations and
their close friends they shared company with...walt & his family.
their pictures and their "times" spent were nothing commercial,
and are hidden treasures that they are keeping safe. memories,
family & dear friends. which i think why most are going for.
secondly, i think it is ironic that she has no idea about the
high-profile symbols , even to try for any....but actual grew up
in one, that her grandparents gave her own living room.
to me, it stuff like this that makes life amazing. and though i
am far from the expert status, i will share what i think is
the best~kept secret, the potential for
can happen
anywhere in or around the parks..even in the lines.

. Infrequent but consistent posting on this board is just as awesome as those who can stamp out a double-digit number of posts a day. It means to me that, what little time you do have, is spent doing something you love. Kind of like the destitute man donating his only penny vs. the wealthy man donating enormous sums.
