Disney World with Savannah & Alyssa

Mike booked a trip for Savannah, Alyssa, & I to go to Disney World for a girl trip. He took them last year, so I guess it was my turn. I was a little sad to go without my babies, but go I did. We stayed at the Polynesean Resort. It was perfect. We were right on the monorail so it was easy to get wherever we wanted to go. I had no agenda. I just wanted to be with my girls. I haven’t been able to give them undivided attention the way I used to. It was fun to hear their ideas and thoughts.
It was fun to say, “Yes.” My can we get our faces painted? “Yes”. Can we stay until the park closes? “Yes”. Can we go to all four parks in one day? “Yes”. But we didn’t. We decided that Epcot was not our speed. Can we entertain the entire line by playing “ninja”? “Yes” These are the things I hope my kids remember about me when I’m gone.
My girls think I am the all knowing Disney expert. It’s nice that they still respect me in some regard. While we were eating dinner one night we were having a deap discussion about which character we would most want to be. Alyssa wanted to be a Princess or a Fairy because they can talk to the kids that come to see them and they get to stand in an air conditioned building. Savannah wanted to be Minnie Mouse or Piglet, because who doesn’t love Minnie Mouse and Piglet? They were astounded when I said that I would want to be the Mickey Mouse in Fantasmic. At the End of Fantasmic. What?!? Mickey Mouse?!? He’s a boy! Here comes the wisdom of me. “No, No young children. Look closely, it’s a girl under there. Mickey is too short for a man to pull it off. Any Mickey is fun, but the one at the END is the hero.” What?!? More than one Mickey in the show? “Oh, yes my little students. Let’s go watch.” The final count was 5 or 6 different Mickeys. But we all agreed that we would want to be the 2nd to last Mickey. He’s way on top of the mountain and he overcomes evil.
We had a great time. I love my girls so much. They bring smiles that don’t quickly fade away.

This young woman was visiting from Chile. She was so scared to ride the Rockin' Roller Coaster. Alyssa assured her that it was the greatest ride ever. She asked if Alyssa would please be her partner for the ride. Alyssa was a sweetheart and said, yeah sure.
