I love DW... my mom and dad love DW... I've drug my husband and 4 year old son to DW for the past 2 years (son loves it, husband not as much!). But it's just not enough for me. I WANT MORE!
My husband, son and I just got back in September from a week long trip, and I know we won't be going again for another 1.5 years, and I want to go sooner. While my parents DO love Disney, my father's health is such that he just couldn't go, and since my mother does a lot to care for him, she didn't think she'd ever get to see Disney again. Well, my father's health has improved a bit, to the point that my mom feels like she can take off for a weekend and dad will be ok, so I invited her to go on a mother / daugher trip in January. It will only be for a long weekend (getting there late Thursday evening, spending Friday and Saturday in a park, and going home Sunday afternoon). Dad and husband are ok with this! 
So, I want to make this trip extra special... Mom has been dad's care giver for a long time, and just needs a break. She is super excited about going! We'll be staying at Pop (really only need a place to sleep) and we'll be on the free dining plan, upgrading to DDP. I've got reservations for dinner at Boma, lunch at Le Cellier, and dinner at Coral Reef.... I know it is going to be a crazy, BUSY trip, but since mom may not ever make it back again, I want it to be as special as possible. Anyone have any ideas of how to do that? We'll be doing MK and Epcot... I'd love to order a choc slipper for her, but we won't be at GF or the princess meal. I've thought about both of us doing pick a pearl, and that might be a nice idea... For my son, we did little "Tink presents" everyday... not sure what I'd get mom for that kind of thing.. Ideas?
Anyway, just want some ideas of fun things to make this trip the best ever! I'd make custom T-shirts for us, but she's just not a t-shirt wearing kind of lady. Also, I want something that won't take a lot of time out of our day, since we are already pressed for time with only 2 days and so many dinner reservations.
Thanks all!
