Ok..anyone care to hear a cheesy LONG love story?

[Mlissa88]

Ok...by all admission, this is quite cheesy...however, I just had to share it because...well...the ending is what makes me so darn happy...I'm doing the happy dance until....can't wait to get back to Disney.

Here's my story:

I went to the Wilderness Lodge with my family back in Dec of 1999. My stepfather had passed away that year and everyone needed a bit of magic put back in their lives after a horrible 2 year battle with cancer had taken the life of someone we loved. We were NOT in the mood for a vacation but if any place could temporarily take away some of the sadness that we were feeling, DISNEY could....

We went to WL and got several rooms. I shared mine with my mother who cried for most of the trip. At night, I often gave her time alone to cry, sleep or just to have some quiet time to herself. During these times, I would walk around the WL property. I would sit on the beach chairs, out by the lagoon and watch the electrical parade and then listen to the fireworks. I would go down and relax in the hot tub if it was relatively empty. I would spend some time swimming in the pool. But often, I would just look for an empty chair, bench, or little place to sit and be alone with my own thoughts.

One place that I found enjoyable, was behind the pool bar. It seems that in the later hours, after the bar is closed, and after the pool empties of it's swimmers, the tables next to the little brook that leads to the lagoon, empty of it's patrons, and it provides a nice place to sit and think. I sat here many nights of our trip. I would sit, alone, thinking about the past few months, thinking about how much my stepfather loved my mother and about how I never found that type of love in my life. One night, as I glanced around at the beauty of the resort, the night sky, the relaxing sounds of the water trickling out to the lagoon, I said outloud to the nighttime sky that the beauty of the resort was in my heart forever, and that one day, I would come back to this resort with someone that I loved and I would share this beauty with them.

I went back to the Lodge again in recent years...but again with family. I had had a few relationships since 1999...some good...some bad. I've not been able to make my dream come true.

After three years of friendship, and now several months of dating, I will be making a trip to Disney in 2008 with a man who I can proudly call my best friend and the love of my life.

We recently discussed taking a few vacations. Disney came up. I wasn't sure how he'd react because he always just smiled and shook his head when in the past I've talked about how much I love Disney.

So when we discussed Disney as a possible vacation choice I told him why I wanted to go there...I told him about my promise to the stars in the sky. I told him that I finally found the person that I want to go with me.

And with that...he replyed...that there was no place else that he'd rather be.

I can't wait to show him "the World" because he's made my world so happy.


Thanks for letting me share my cheesy little story... Can't wait for 2008!

I loved your story. It sounds like you have a wonderful man. I hope he enjoys WDW as much as you do. Wilderness Lodge is my favorite resort. As a matter of fact we will be there in 17 days. I will look for your spot behind the pool bar and remember your story and think of you sitting there with your special someone in 2008. I hope you have a wonderful time next year and all your dreams come true beneath those stars you made that promise to.

Thanks Jasminetigger for your sweet words!

I hope you have a wonderful trip to Florida and a super time at Disney and the WL.

I love the Lodge...so many places to steal a moment to yourself or with someone special.

I wish you perfect weather and wonderful days filled with Disney magic!

I know that this is probably not the thread to put on but I would love to share this will everyone if you all don't mind. I posted all of this except the last paragraph on the Thank you thread for Cinderalla. So I am apologizing in advance if I upset anyone posting this on the thread.

Now, we all know these people do a wonderful job and a remarkable gift is what they gave to me last Sept. 2006, but to I have to go back to where it all began when I was just a little girl.

I was adpoted at the age of 6weeks old to a family lets just say that needed alot of help. growing up I remember alot of things one of them being my father being very ill well before taking us on vacations here and there but the most important vacation and the last vacation that I would spend with my father whom I loved more than life was at DisneyWorld. I remember us walking into MK and down Mainstreet and meeting Cinderalla herself, now this is when i was very very young and i remember certain things about the MK not all. I remember most my father walking me all over and meeting different people and charactors but Cinderalla was the one that stands out to me. My father told me one day that I would be just like her and I would find my prince one day just as Cinderalla and marry him at the Castle just as Cinderalla. As the days and weeks went on my father found out that he had cancer and would not live and put a brave front on infront for me and as I watched my father die in front of me I knew that one day I would be with him again.

Growing up without my father definately had an impact on my life and my certain choices as we all do some good some bad but in the end I am very happy with how my life has turned out it has made me stronger. I am a retired pro-wrestler (due to a stroke)and have done many other things in my life that I know my father would be so proud of even finding my Biological family in which my biological father has since past away and my adoptive mother has also. Last Sept. 2006 was my first trip back to WDW and it was very exciting and emotional at the same time. As I walked into the MK I felt a tear at my heart and as we (my boyfriend of 3yrs) walked down Main Street I started to cry and then we walked closer to the Castle just as my father and I did when I was a little girl. Remembering what my father had told me I looked at my boyfriend and said we had to see Cinderalla now, so off to Toontown. While we waited line my heart was beating so fast and so hard I thought I would have a heart attack right there, as we went through the doors and I got a to see her for the first time in over 35yrs I couldn't not hold my emotions back any longer but what was so weird that at that same moment that I meet Cinderalla I felt my Father there with us again.

I was explaining this to Cinderalla why I was crying (of course giving her the short version) and she held me and told me that everything would be okay and that it was okay to cry and feel emtional. She even said that someday I would be granted my wish (I know that probably wasn't true I understand they say things to make you feel better).

From that moment and through our entire stay I felt my father's presence with me which I haven't been able to feel since his death. Now don't get me wrong I am not a crazy person or anything like that but it was just a weird feeling I had.

For that special moment with Cinderalla I owe her a HUGE Thank you she was extremly helpful and understanding with me and for someone who was at that time 39 yrs old to just start to cry like a baby in front of her and she was just such a pleasant human being and I will never forget you kindness.

My Wish if ever it came true would be to have the carriage bring to my Prince and be married in front of the Castle with Cinderalla and Prince Charming with us and everyone who would want to be apart of our wonderful day. I can see it now myself in this beautiful carriage being brought down Main Street towards the Castle and getting out with the help of Prince Charming and walking up the staircase to my Prince Charming and coming together as one; with my father's presence there its the perfect place to do it since its that last place I remember my father I holding each other.

Now what I didn't add in this was: my dbf and I have been together for 3yrs and I am hoping and praying that this will be the year that he will ask me to marry him and if not I think I just might ask him. I want it to be at WDW and I really want to be married at WDW. If I ask him to marry me does anyone have any suggestions how I should do it? so I guess what I am asking is for suggestions on how I should do it, please feel free to post or pm.
