We had several iron-on t-shirts that I got off of the DIS-ign part of this board. We had two restaurant shirts, one for Chef Mickey's and one for Crystal Palace.
It was me, my dd (then 7) and my ds (then 10mo). When the hostess noticed the shirts we became the center of attention. At Crystal Palace they even got the manager out to see them.
That was cool.
Then there was meeting Donald Duck in Epcot. We had just left the Princess lunch at Akershus. Dd decided to keep her dress on and we came upon Donald Duck greeting in Mexico. When he saw her he acted like he had found his lost love. He put his hand over his heart, fanned himself, danced her around like a princess and hugged her. He was a riot.
But the next one brought tears to my eyes.
We were at AK. It was our final day and the last thing we were doing there was seeing Festival of the Lion King. I knew from the planning video that children participated in the show, but had forgotten really. We had good seats, near the front. When the guy came around with the shakers, I wasn't sure what would happen because there was a MAW family in front of us with like 6 children in addition to the MAW child. She was in a wheel chair but when she was chosen she was able to get up and I was glad for that. They picked one other child from that family, the boy in the family next to ours and he gave his last shaker to my daughter. I told her to go ahead then I put ds under my arm like a football to scramble for the camcorder in the bag. I had one minute left on the memory card so had not filmed the rest of the show, but had just enough memory left to film this.
In that minute I thought of all the planning and all we'd been through that year me having my son in January and losing my husband/their father in March, but looked at my daughter and saw the light in her eyes and the tears came.
I wasn't the only one. The dad in the family next to me whose son got picked was crying too.
