TWO magical moments for me!

Last week our young 12 year old guest and I got one of the little "million dreams" on EE. The wait was 45 minutes long, and we were taken right to the head of the line. They asked which car we wanted, and I of course, said "front"!! After we got off, they took us to the control tower where we got to watch how the trains are run and the many places they can stop the train at any time. Pretty cool! After the control tower, they asked if we wanted to ride again, and of course we did, so this time it was back car!

Later in the trip I got to be one of the people on stage at the bird show when they have the owl fly directly at you. Below is the picture I took. It happened so fast, I had to guess at when to snap it!

What great experiences - Love the picture - would love to have one of the "dreams" while there with my granddaughter from the 12/29-1/4 but all in all just having her want to spend 6 days at WDW alone with me is a dream come true. She is going to be 20 on the 18th so it is not like some 8 yo who will go to WDW with anyone. Her comment was Gramma you're the only one who will go to the parks from opening to closing with me. Now I just have to live up to that. Glad you had a good trip.

Very nice of you to share, and glad you got some additional magic on your last trip!

I am impressed by those who don't "flinch" with that owl coming warp speed right at them. I'd be hitting the deck for sure!

LOL, but it happens so fast, you don't have time to flinch! I was very pleased that my new camera managed to focus on the moving owl and not the audience!

Congratulations, Diane...sounds like a great time! We'll be thinking of you back here in MN on our January trip! Hope you're having good weather.

WOW!

Awesome picture and great memories you're making!

My first trip on EE, I asked for the front car and it was BEYOND AWESOME!!! Glad you got to ride twice!

Thanks for sharing with us...I'm seriously missing Disney.

Great photo! That owl comes at you so fast, I'm amazed anyone can get a shot! How cool for you and the 12year old on EE too

Hoping DD23 and I will catch a few magical moments like that. Although I too am glad she chose to spend time at WDW with Mom to celebrate her graduation from college.
