My Magical Express Experience

[Third times a charm]

Our Southwest flight arrived 20 minutes early at 7:35 pm. We stopped in the airport for a restroom stop - all 16 of us!!!

Headed for the tram, down the escalators and to the ME counter to check in. Only one person in line already being checked in so seeing as I was checking in for 16, I was given two clerks attention.

I was directed to take my group to the Mickey Hand (loved it!!!) she directed us to a que line. Only our group was in line for Pop Century. Turns out there was a bus loading right then, and we were quickly escorted outside to the waiting bus.

Arrived at Pop at approximately 8:40 pm. Several people on our bus stayed on, so there must have been guests for another hotel on, but we were first. The pixie dust was sprinkled already!!!!

After checking in, we all slipped into our swimsuits that we carried in our carry-ons and headed to the pool!! We were back in our rooms around 11:00 pm and our bags were there!!!!

Two days before our flight home and again the day before our flight home, there were ME notices on our hotel room doors. We were to be picked up three hours before our flight home, at 2:15 pm.

I was out waiting with the luggage, while the girls finished lunch and the bus arrived AT 2:15!!!!

A stop at Terminal B, then us for Terminal A.

Highest marks to the folks at ME, for 16 of us, flying in the evening, no problems at all! 16 of us returning to the airport in the afternoon, again right on schedule.

Too funny!!!

We actually assign each girl a person from the show Survivor when there are 12 people left on the show.

The winner gets to choose the next field trip. Well the young lady who won last May tells me she has two choices, Disney or Hershey Park. Both great ideas!

My family had just returned from Disney in February and had a magical time. So of course, I like her Disney choice.

The planning began from there. There are Youth Education Programs you can attend that reduce the cost of park tickets to nearly half their cost. We participated in two and they were both fabulous.

We had a parent meeting in late June to discuss the probability that they would let their DD go on a plane to Florida at a cost of $760.00 per person. All were in agreement!

We did several carwashes, had a multi-family yard sale amoung other things to raise money. No family had to contribute more that $300 per girl, we fundraised the rest.

I've had two moms now ask if we are planning something else, I jokingly told them " the Grand Canyon " . Actually our next trip will be closer to home, probably Sea World in Ohio, about a four-five hour drive for us.

As we were dropping the girls off at their homes very late Monday night, one girl said she never thought this trip would happen and told me I'm really cool . A preteen thinks I'm cool. What more does a person need, except another trip to the Happiest Place On Earth.
