When we went to Magic Kingdom a few weeks ago with some friends, we went on the people mover and I thought of you guys!

I know I have not been on in quite a while but I had to share, because none of my non-disney people really understand the magnitude of what happened. We were visiting DD, SS-I-L, and precious grand daughter and went to (dare I say it) Disney land - (you may remember son in law is in Navy Seal training in Coronado) To make a long story longer we got Dream Fast Passes for both Disney Land and California adventure at Turtle Talk with Crush. Sooo excited. Just wanted to share. Hope everyone is doing well. We will be cruising the end of april on a three day cruise with my mother then doing a week at WDW.

Awesome! So glad you all had a great time at BOTH parks

A cruise AND WDW you must be on

Maleficent's DH writing here... Hmmm, "soo excited" does not really capture the moment. I would say that Maleficent had a "near seizure", where everyone in the lobby ABSOLUTELY KNEW about how excited DW really was!! I, for one, was very glad to realize (gradually) that this was a "magical moment" and not a heart attack. I suppose the medics get called every week or so to respond to Disneyphiles who get an overdose of magic.

Those fast pass cards are great (shoot, they have THREE patents)! If you wear them (yes, DW kept hers prominently displayed), you get asked frequently how to obtain them by other guests. Then, you get to explain (and relive) the magic. I would not be surprised if we wear our (expired) passes next month at WDW. Maybe even on the cruise ship too!

BTW, even though the pass is stamped with a "good on this date only" warning, it still was accepted two days later.

PS. Disney Land is great! It reminded me of a small, pretend, miniature WDW; sort of the rough draft or mockup of the REAL thing. Even the ride vehicles are smaller (those skinny Californians!) like on Grizzly River. You can still see the "original" way Disney was setup like the Tiki room before Iago. I actually found that I liked Pirates and Buzz Lightyear better at DL than WDW. It is fun to simply compare the two as well (e.g. DL has outdoor teacups and small world boat entry is also outdoors).

That's so neat! I totally stalked the Dream Team at Animal Kingdom with some Canadian friends last month but we kept missing them by about 5 minutes. I know when we won the special mouse ears in October I almost had a seizure as well! <------ me shaking

We're doind a little 3-day too, in September (likely). I even started a pre-trip report, even though it is only an idea for the time being.

Nice to hear from you (and your DH) again!!!

My brother is a Floridian, now!

Take care of him y'all.

(I will probably be joining him via the WDW College Program for Spring 08!)
