Off to Disney

[Larry]

OK, getting Mom ready to go to Disney. Leaving in a little while, back Saturday afternoon. (Plans subject to change by Mom.)

I'll probably be reading ES a bunch. But I'll be almost exclusively in the iPad (or the phone.) So the big, multi-quote, posts with the embedded links and graphics to other web sites will pretty much be gone.

(In fact, underlining on the iPad is a pain. So, I usually just use Caps Lock, instead.)

I know y'all are gonna miss me not making nearly as many posts. (And a lot less underlining.) But, you'll just have to suffer.

Have fun, Larry!!!

Enjoy! Where are you staying? One of the Disney resorts?

Is your trip to Disney your way of saying thank you to Mickey Mouse for your cap gains?

Have fun.

[Major Harris]

I hope Disney has the same positive impact on your mom as it has in the past. Have a wonderful time. And again, though we may not agree on anything ever, I really admire what you do for her. She is very blessed to have you as a son; sincerely.

This. 100 percent this.

We always stay at Contemporary, on the side facing the Magic Kingdom.

The monorail is pretty much essential for wheelchair transportation. The restaurant, Chef Mickey's, is in the hotel, so Mom can eat breakfast with Mickey without leaving the hotel. The wheel chair fits through the bathroom door. (Well, enough to get us close enough to the toilet.) And she can watch the fireworks from the room's balcony.

I'll bet the Epcot flower/garden festival is going on now. I've heard that's a beautiful thing.

Larry, I hope you don't mind me bumping this thread regarding my own trip, but I didn't want to start a new thread.

My wife and I have booked our eldest daughter's 10th-birthday celebration/vacation. We're staying at the Art of Animation Resort, "Little Mermaid" wing, getting the "park hopper" 5-day passes, and starting to get excited about just seeing her face during her first visit to the magic that is Disney. I don't know who's going to have a harder time waiting for it to get here (January), her, or me!

I understand they have special events for kids that are there on their birthdays. I think she gets to be in the parade, we're doing the birthday princess brunch, and who knows what else. The wife is making sure all of the special events are coordinated. She's great at the details, fortunately. I am not. I also understand they do something, I don't know what, for every kind on their first trip to the Disney parks.

Larry, I was wondering if you knew of any tricks of the trade that you might be able to share. And if any of you parents have had your children down there for birthdays, what was the experience like?

I feel like a little kid myself right now. I'm just dying to see the joy on my angel's face.

Watch out for Mickey...wear duct tape....

Enjoy your trip Larry, it's amazing what you do for your mother.
