Ahhh, memories

Good Morning!! I am on here early today because there are loads of errands I have to run and I wanted to get my daily Disney fix....as I'm sure all of you do too. Funny, I had a fellow travel agent call me yesterday for advice on a Disney World vacation she was planning for clients and as I was answering her questions and recommending things for her to suggest to her client, I thought, man, I really could do just this forever! But unfortunately I don't live in the Orlando anymore as much as I miss it, I love my husband more. I do enjoy being a travel agent, and I try and make it the best situation I can. No worries, I did not move for him without the stipulation that in the least one day we'd retire and move back there so I could work something simple like the It's a Small World Attraction in the Magic Kingdom and I would be happy. :)

Just thinking about the Magic Kingdom brings a smile to my face, anticipation of going there again (we make it down about four times a year), and I'm sorry to admit a twinge of jealousy of the friends that still work there!! Where'd that come from??
I don't know what's the best part; the first moment you walk in and hear the music, or seeing the guests around you in a good mood. Okay, and the one or two who's kids are acting up (ha ha), or the first moment you get to the far end of Main Street, USA and see Cinderella's Castle in all its glory! LOL. Yep, I said glory.

I'll tell you what's the best part now...(and I never thought about this before) but the best part now is taking my kids. And watching a whole new generation with their wide eyes there for the first time. Everything's new, everything's exciting, and everything's...magical. That's what it must have felt like for my parents to take us. Our first visit there in 1986 was theirs as well and I don't think my dad ever left. One of my many favorite memories was when I was working there in my early 20s and he would come to visit me for the weekend. Every time it would be "which park do you want to go to?" "Where do you want to eat?" And that's exactly what we'd do. Maybe go on an attraction, but mainly sit, people-watch, and take it all in. That's where I think the real magic is, not necessarily in the park. Its not something you leave there, you take it with you . And just like my memory of me sitting with my dad; it makes you smile, even ten years later. It will always be with you, now that's magical!
