We went to Disney World in '03. My Grandmother was actually dying from breast cancer, and her wish before she died was to take her last granddaughter to Disney World. It was a very special trip (yet sad). We stayed at Wilderness and drove all the way down there in an R.V.
I don't think YOMD had started yet, but I do remember my Gran and Gramp were picked to open up a show in MGM. They dressed up in sailor uniforms and were a part of the show. It was so funny. And we met the Evil Queen, and she and I had a "lovely" conversation. She asked me to come to her castle sometime to eat apples with her, and I looked at her and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Your apples are posionous." haha It was great. She actually cracked a smile and had to turn away. But much pixie dust happened around us. There were a few kids who got to ride in a tea cup with Alice and the Mad Hatter. It was sensational. They were adorable, and it made me so happy that the characters just know how to bond with the kids that come in there. Thankfully we're going back for the real YOMD! I'm super excited. I hope we get something, but if we don't- hey! I'll live. I just hope I can see a smile on some child's face, because it brings back a lot of memories from my first Disney trip.
There's my story, and I just love this thread.
