I just read anothe post about a family that was selected to be family of the day. On our last day we almost didnt get up early and head out to Magic Kingdom but we thought... HOW COULD WE NOT??
So off we went and as we were coming into the gate a nice CM asked if we were going to breakfast reservations. I said nope, just here early for park opening (thinking she was trying to direct us where to go for breakfast reservations) then she asked us to follow her, took our name The Flesner Family from little rock,ar! We then rode on the small old time fire truck (i think it was a fire truck lol I was soooooo excited I couldnt take it all in fast enough) He stoped in front of the castle and took our picture and then back to toontown where all of sudden the characters started coming out of Mickey house it was sooo amazing! We met them all and took pictures... chip and dale were a hoot! Then we boarded the train with mickey mouse sitting right behind us. My husband was talking to the cm and told him that he was in the Air Force and Mickey shook my husbands hand.. My husband said he had never felt prouder than when Mickey himself showed his appreciation for his military service... After we got off the train mickey took time to take several photo pass pictures with us and they had a photopass photog. out font taking pictures during the show. It was such a dream come true! that trip was so magical! Also on my sons 8th birthday earlier in the week, we were picked to open ToonTown and we all got to ride the barnstomer with goofy and nobody else! It was so amazing.. then they took us back to meet all of the characters in toontown.. I have several pics of goofy hitting a ball back and forth with my son and no other kids even in toontown yet for autographs or pictures.. sooo amazing! Anyway.. the reason I was thinking of all of this is because I decided to look up magic kingdom opening for July 6th 2008 and guess what!! someone took video and posted it on Youtube and we have the whole opening show with my son, dh and I throwing pixie dust.. I couldnt believe it.. I have watched it 15 times and cried (happy tears of course) every time I see it! I would put a link but not sure thats allowed or that you guys would want to see it anyway haha.. thanks for letting me share our magical experience with you! I love reading everyone elses so I thought I would share!
