We only do this a couple times a year but had dinner with 2 amazing friends tonight; we've all "lost sons" and our bond is still there after almost 7 years.

They both want to take their grandchildren to DW; told them it's time we did a trip together first so I could "show them what to do".

Sounds like a perfect "excuse" to me, don't y'all agree?
No Ma'am, this is not a prop. It's a useful, needed necessity at DW.
