"It’s a beautiful summer evening in the Magic Kingdom on our first night in this, the Happiest Place on Earth. We’ve just witnessed the glory and majesty of Spectro Magic and are about behold the grandeur of Wishes. I have come here to make a lifelong commitment to the woman I love. I have picked this, the perfect moment, to ask her for her hand in marriage.” It wasn’t to be…
A few weeks after I booked the trip she seemingly suspected the proposal and got scared. Although I bought cancelation insurance I didn’t have the heart to cancel the trip. Two heartbreaks would have been too much. So I decided to take another woman instead. One whom I knew loved me dearly and Disney World alike. My mother.
I wasn’t sure she would go because in fact, she was already going to Disney World two weeks after my dates to celebrate her 30th wedding anniversary with my father. But my trip was fully paid for and on the free dining plan; minus one plane ticket (those things are non-transferable, boo).
One thing you have to know about my mother is that she has sacrificed a lot for her children. Her entire life has been dedicated to making mine and my sister’s life fun and full of laughter. We have been to Disney World four times as a family since 1996. The last visit was 2003. My parents put everything they had into those Disney trips – especially my mother – she was the catalyst. It is from these experiences I developed my love for Disney World. A feeling matched only by my mother. Who better to take.
Additionally, in the wake of these events I got into photography – something I had great interest in but never pulled the trigger. I suddenly felt a weight in my pocket and it wasn’t a ring. I bought a Canon DSLR and a few expensive lenses to match. Great pictures are something that I covet on vacation and Disney World is no exception. But in all honesty, it was the high-res food porn that did me in.
We leave August 22 from Dallas/Fort Worth at 7:30am. We return August 29 in the late PM. 8 days. 7 nights. One amazing adventure with my mother
And I'll take my niece one day when she is older!
