To everyone thanks for the kind words they mean a lot. My mother introduced me to Disney so I thought this would be a wonderful way to honor her memory. I do something special for someone else every year and it helps others to experience her spirit. She was my best friend and I try to be as generous as she was. I have heard from several of you that you plan to do something special in memory of your loved ones and am thrilled to have set an example that made a difference in your lives. I have found that it truly makes me smile to pay it forward.
As far as a winner I was able to present racheltori from GA an ADR for the
Coral Reef for lunch on 10/1 (EPCOT's 25th anniversary), an ADR for LeCellier for 10/2 at 12 PM and a special illuminations viewing ADR for 10/2. I am going to get the above ADR's put in her name as soon as she gets me some information that Disney will require. She is a wonderful person and is going to pay it forward in honor of both of our loved ones. She is staying in the same hotel as us so I am hopeful that we might be able to get together for a second, say hi and toast our loved ones with a coke etc.
Cass, yes we are still going to DW from 9/29-10/4. This still leaves me 1 ADR for each day (we will use table service for 1 meal a day and counter service for 1 meal a day). I also will be going to the VIP illuminations on 10/1(EPCOT's 25th anniversary). On 10/4 we will be taking the wonder to the Bahamas for 3 nights and then back home on my mother's birthday on 10/7. My birthday is 10/8 so we will be celebrating it early at DW.
I still have an ADR for lunch on 9/29 for LeCellier at 1:50 PM and an ADR for lunch on 9/30 at 1:20 PM for a party of 3 if anyone wants them. Please PM me if interested.
I will keep everyone posted on what happens with the ADR's. Thanks for allowing me this wonderful opportunity to pay it forward
