Friends, Wishes & Treats Oct WDW Trip ~ ~Aloha! HI cruise TR is complete!

[mommy2mrb]

after the show I received a text from Kris (mom2mitokids) about the next day....unfortunately had bad news about their tickets...a so called friend was supposed to of bought them tickets and totally flaked out on them....so she agreed to me taking care of them .....I wasn't about to let the flake ruin their trip and break the kids hearts...and making up the $$ later down the road...so Megan and I ran out to the ticket booths to get their tickets for the next day....got back into DCA and saw this little lady

then decided to head back over to Paradise Pier to ride the Mickey Wheel and maybe TSM again

some photos along the way

the line was about 30 minutes for TSM so rode it again...

then saw this cute photo op.....

decided to get a snack of hot cocoa and popcorn as we enjoyed the lights around Paradise Bay

we got in line for World of Color and waited about 35 minutes for the show to start....we had a great spot right in front...did get some of the mist, but worth it...no heads in front of us!

IMHO this show is the best thing Disney has ever created...was just awe struck with the water, lights and music....especially my favorite from "Enchanted" ....So Close by Jon McLaughlin...for some reason every time I hear it, I think of my Jim

So Close

You're in my arms
and all the world in calm
the music playing on for only two
so close together
and when I'm with you
so close to feeling alive

a life goes by
romantic dreams will stop
so I bid mine goodbye and never knew
so close was waiting, waiting here with you
and now forever I know
all that I wanted to hold you
so close

so close to reaching that famous happy end
almost believing this was not pretend
and now you're beside me and look how far we've come
so far we are so close

how could I face the faceless days
if I should lose you now?
we're so close
to reaching that famous happy end
and almost believing this was not pretend
let's go on dreaming for we know we are
so close
so close
and still so far

and of course when this started so did my tears....megan knew and turned to me with a hug and a smile


my photos don't due it justice but here they are....

as we waited for the crowds to clear out....took this, think she liked the show

was so amazing and beautiful

after a long day in the park we headed back to our hotel for an early bedtime....we had breakfast planned with our guy Goofy in the morning and a fun filled day planned with Kris, Scott, Steven and Kylee!!!

Here is a poem Megan wrote the summer after Jim died for her daddy....
you might want a tissue.....




The Candle That Always Glows

This candle is there all the time
it never goes out
even if the person who lit it is gone it still glows
every day, every night it glows and glows and glows
even when you go it will still glow big and bright
light all night, you're the candle that always glows
never go out and always is bright
please always glow for me

she has shared this at her grief group and when she went to Camp Erin last summer, has touched many, many people!

That is beautiful

I love all your latest pics too! The Toy Story Action Figure photo op is adorable!

 

[that's nice]

plus they talk to the people....they aren't supposed to talk!

But how else are they going to get you to give them $$?

Wow. what a wonderful poem.

Wow... you guys were busy! All over the parks!

I just find it so amazing how different the WDW is from DL.

WOW. How thoughtful and nice of you! That deserves a THAT's NICE!

then saw this cute photo op.....

Great pics!!!

World of Color and waited about 35 minutes for the show to start....we had a great spot right in front...did get some of the mist, but worth it...no heads in front of us!

Every thing I've heard about WOC is so positive and the pictures I've seen are just amazing!

What a great day you guys had!

 

[mommy2mrb]

thanks Andrea, she has the knack for writing
it was a lot of fun!

But how else are they going to get you to give them $$?


Wow. what a wonderful poem.

so true Tim, but its just not right they talk
it is isn't it

Wow... you guys were busy! All over the parks!

I just find it so amazing how different the WDW is from DL.

Great pics!!!

What a great day you guys had!

ya we kind of tour every which way it seems
its so much easier to park hop at DLR since MK, DCA and DTD are all connected!

thanks Tim....my "fairy god auntie" came out in me just had to do what I had to do to make sure they got to come and have a magical day

WOC is just WOW! the only downside is you have to stand for the show, but since we got in early we were able to sit down before the show started.

it was a great day!

The Aladdin and Colors shows are WONDERFUL fun photos...but my absolute FAVES are you and Megan in the Toy Story Boxes!!! I think you should print them out and frame them in a three frame photo...YOU LOOK ADORABLE in your's alone and you both are just so cute!

we loved both the shows so much....the outside holding pen for Aladdin has all these trees in the courtyard...the first time we saw the show was april 2003 they were just little skinny trees offering NO shade...they are now big and beautiful with TONS of shade...kind of ironic to see how they and Megan have grown over the past 9 years...
I will do something cute in my scrap pages with them!

I knew that was going to happen (I am so psychic...) I thought you weren't supposed to tell it though! YOU are such a generous person! with an incredible heart!

well I wasn't going to....and I not telling it to get any kuddos...I did it for them and that's all we are going to say on that subject

Welcome Amy! Judy's thread is my second DIS home we've become (what we like to call ourselves) Heart Sisters over the past year our friendship has grown into being a family! we are so blessed to have them in our lives and know we were brought together for a reason

Lisa is a special little girl and so sweet, all the kids are!, hard to resist that cute face and was so wonderful to be there to experience part of her wish trip and spread some of my pixie dust their way

Hello ladies, I see you two have "Met".

Yes, I love Lisa and worry about her! I tell her all of the time to be careful of crazy internet people but she STILL hangs out with me! Lisa B (I always laugh when I type that since we call my Lisa, Lisa B as well) has a huge heart and I worry about her, even though that makes her She keeps telling me she is a big girl (I don't see it, I am three times her
size ) OF COURSE, she never listens to me, I told her not to come to Florida and she did anyway! It WAS a pleasure to meet her in person, although to me it felt like we had met already LONG before we did it in person! I REALLY feel Jim brought us together. Just got my God chills as I typed this, so I KNOW it is true!Okay then, time to do a bit more DISing before I hit the shower, another long day at our house... I hope you BOTH have fabulous days!

Hay... I'm able to get on. You are an amazing person. I can't believe someone can tell me they had tickets and then can break a kids heart. I did pay you $100 and plan on sending you another $100 when we get home. I'm just glad we got to spend the day together. I wouldn't of cared where we met..just as long as we can be together. Though..Kylee and Steven didn't think that..lol It was a very special day that I didn't want to end. I love all your pictures. Better looking at them bigger than seeing them off of your camera. I hope we can see the both of you very soon.

We would love to be able to see the both of you in July if possible. My kids start back to school the beginning of August.
They are starting her on her formula soon. She is leaking out of her J tube a little and looks a little bit more distended today. Oh.. And she has another UTI..ugh. Waiting for Ped to come in and hopefully give me a timeline of when we might get out of here. Love and hugs
