Well, we are back & I'm not having the "Disney blues" yet We had a WONDERFUL TIME!!!! I didn't see any other DISboard Turkeys The castle was gorgeous with the Christmas lights, & we loved seeing Cirque du Soleil, parasailing & the other extras this time.
We were among the group who got STUCK on the monorail at the TTC. My DH (who has the torn calf muscle & limped all week) ALMOST had his leg slammed in the monorail doors when they unexpectantly slammed shut while unloading. DD & I were stuck on the monorail & cast members had to pry the doors open with their hands. It was less than magical, but I don't think anyone got seriously injured.
We had one "tragic to magic" moment while we were there. DD10 collects pins & had just bought a new lanyard & 11 new pins for over $130. She'd been saving up her chore money for a year (or her "commission" as Dave Ramsey calls it) She has three full lanyards, but thankfully only wore one to MK on Tuesday 11/23. We rode Thunder Mtn & she took it off & put it in the mesh storage bin. (I didn't know she'd done this.) We got off the ride & were walking outside when she realized she'd left it on the car!! We rushed back inside & told the CM what happened.
We waited & waited & waited for all cars to come through on both sides. *NOTHING* We went to Guest Services/City Hall & explained the situation to Pat. Nobody had turned it in I just cried for my poor DD! She'd saved up for so long & this was the ONE thing she liked to spend her $$ on (besides buying souveniers for all of her family, friends, & teachers.) Well, Pat at City Hall-Guest Services told us to make sure & ask for him when we came back that night.
We went on about our day & tried to forget what had happened. We checked back with Pat right before MK closed & no one had turned it in. He took us over to the Emporium & said he knew this wouldn't make up for what she lost, but he let her pick out a new lanyard & 8 new pins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bawled like a baby! Even though someone at Disney World stole from my precious Bailey, a wonderful CM named Pat renewed my love for my Happy Place! It was a great lesson in how God can use a terrible situation & turn it into a wonderful one
