Dayngrous Discourse

Our Disney Vacation

We had a fantastic time and we hit the road on a Thursday and went to Epcot on Friday. The Dayngrous Duo had such a wonderful time. It was pretty funny to look at the photos we took. It was their first time going ever and it showed on their faces. Most of the photos they look awestruck, like their in total shock and disbelief at what they're seeing. It really was funny. By the second and third day though they were really getting the hang of the magical, wonderful place and they loved it.

At Epcot Charlie was picked from the audience to participate in one of the presentations. What a little ham! It was for Kodak and they were spotlighting their digital cameras and printers. The dressed him up like a little scientist and he had to look at the camera and say "One, two, three - AHA!" and they would snap a photo of him with the giant camera. It was a big hit. Below are the photos we took and the final one is the shot from Kodak's giant digital camera. I love how the people in the back are all doing it too! What a wonderful first trip to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot, and an incredible birthday that I have no doubt will be remembered forever.

The Plan
The plan was as follows:

Thursday: Driving time
Friday: Epcot
Saturday & Sunday: Disney also known as The Magic Kingdom

Favorites

Lola's favorite thing to see at "The Disney" was definately Cinderella's Castle. Everytime she sees it at the beginning of a Disney movie, she recognizes it and gets so happy and exclaims with glee "Cinderella's Castle" in her best big girl talk.

Charlie's favorite was definately driving the race cars at Tommorwland's Indy Speedway. He got the biggest kick out of it since he adores the movie "Cars" and lately all he talks about is race cars. He was thrilled to be able to drive the race cars and go around and around. What fun!

It was Mr. Right's 1st trip to Disney too so his favorite thing to say was "Amazing, just amazing". He liked Epcot the best.

One of my favorite memories is Charlie calling it "The Disney", not Disney but THE Disney. It still cracks me up when he says it. However, my all time favorite was just watching their faces when they saw Epcot's fireworks at night. I enjoyed watching their faces and their expressions of amazement and awe. It was so much more than any fireworks show could ever be.

It was a mixture of emotions for me to be at Disney with my children and to see them experiencing it for the first time and thinking about how my parents must have had such similar experiences with me. I was melancholy and misty more than a few times wishing they could have shared the magic with us - wishing they could have at least shared in the memories when we returned home.

Along with tinges of sadness were tons of smiles and so much joy. Joy, knowing that the same Disney that I shared with my parents I was now sharing with their grandchildren and making such wonderful and happy memories. Hopefully, they will walk down the same streets with their children laughing and singing and having a fantastic time and maybe of I'm lucky I'll get to be there too.
