Planning our 2009 Disney holiday

January 11, 2009 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

Unfortunately real life intervened while trying to remember all the activities on our 2008 Disney holiday so never got to finish writing those up.

Suffice it to say that we had a fantastic holiday which was capped by a very special moment on our last day. We went to Hollywood Studios, went on our favourite rides, went into the Playhouse Disney show which was our sons favourite, bought some last minute presents and starting walking out of the park.

We were just about to walk through the exit turnstiles when a cast member stops us and asks do we have a minute. Sure we said, thinking it was going to be a “how much did you enjoy Disney” type of questionaire. So we followed him into Guest Services, but didn’t stop there, went through another door and into a big VIP suite, plush leather couches, deep carpet, very tasteful.

Cast member asks us to sit down and “someone” will be into to see us in a minute…. Ok… not exactly sure what was going on but 2 minutes later, a knock at another door into the room. In walks another cast member leading Pooh, Eyore, Tigger and Stich into the room. 5 minutes of pictures with the characters just for us!

A perfect end to a perfect holiday… Which is why we are now planning to go again in May 2009!

Our son goes nutz! We stand there with jaws dropping!
