You guys!! I'm going to Disney in 25 days and I'm finally starting to get excited! My husband and I decided to bring my dad with us this year. He'll be 70 in December and has never ever had a vacation, and even though he's never been, I'm convinced that I get my love of Disney from him. Back in 2018 he had an open heart surgery in which they had to do 5 separate by passes! It was a scary dark time and I just knew he was going to die. But he didn't! He made it through the surgery just fine and the DR even said he was one of his best patients (although I'm pretty sure that he says that to everyone.)
Anyway, in the dark scary time leading up to his surgery I promised my dad that we would ditch mom for a week and go to disney. So when I registered for the Princess Half Marathon, it was a no brainer to bring my dad and finally make good on that promise! It was exciting a year ago when we booked it; however, the reality of traveling with my dad who isn't in the best health of his life quickly sucked the joy out of it. Then I started stressing that I was cramming too much into 1 trip. I thought, I should have either picked running or my dad. Trying to do both in 1 trip is going to be too much... but finally! things are turning around!
Our Magic Bands have come, my dad's ears come and I've gotten his medicine schedule all figured out with my mom. Fast Passes have been made, Dining reservations have been made, Matching T-Shirts are in the processed of being made and GOSH DARNED, I'm finally about to burst with Excitement and needed to share!!
