Dinner at Spirit of Aloha

Breakfast at Cinderella Castle

This past September, my girls and I made some truly Magical Memories!  We spent a week at Disney World with their Grandmommy, my mom.  My mom has wanted to take a vacation at Disney World for a long time, but my dad wasn't really into a Disney vacation.  Alan has gone to Disney with us every time, but he's not as keen on a long Disney vacation as the girls and I are.  Solution?  Take Grandmommy with us for a week, and then Alan would join us for the second week!  I was SO excited to call her and ask her if she'd like to join me and the girls for a week at Disney World, but nearly as excited as she was to get the call from me!  She took a couple of days to discuss it with my dad, and then called me back and said it was a go!  We met her at MCO (the airport in Orlando)...I was crying before we even saw her waiting for us...I couldn't believe all the memories my girls were going to get to make with their Grandma this week (and vice-versa).  I had planned an awesome trip for us (ok, really for her!), complete with visits to each park, character meals (including breakfast at Cinderella Castle), other intriguing dining experiences, and a stay at the beautiful Beach Club!  My mother spent the week with us trying attractions she never would have imagined going on, which amazed her...it was a great time of her learning to trust me that I would not take her on anything frightening or let anything bad happen to her.  Did she try everything?  Nope, but I wasn't expecting her to.  But she tried things she never thought she would, and enjoyed most of them!  She was able to repay me when Sarah got sick one day.  My mother was there for me, offering a shoulder for me to cry on when I was afraid we would all end up sick.  Fortunately, it was a one-day thing, and no one else ever got sick!  We had a fabulous time together that week!  Are we going to do it again?  You bet!  We're already making plans for next year's trip!
