Double WOW! What a wonderful story Mom2apirate&princess. Choked me up too..
Our best moment happened this past September. We were in 'the World' celebrating our 35th anniversary. Our first afternoon in Epcot was really hot and humid, and we were desperate to cool off. I don't tolerate heat well, and DH had been pushing me in my wheelchair all day (hint: I look a lot like my avatar). Anyway, we headed to the American Pavilion for some much needed A/C (and to see the show). But as we got to the door, there was a sign saying that the public would be allowed into the lobby in 45 min. We could see a number of 'suits' gathered there, so there must have been some kind of VIP thing going on??
Anyway, we double checked the time of the next performance with the CM at the door, thanked her and turned away, looking for the nearest shade. Suddenly behind us we hear: " Ma'am? Sir?" We turned around. "Are you the Canadian couple who are celebrating their 35th anniversary?" Yes, we replied.(we didn't realize til much later that DUH: we were wearing anniversary buttons and DH had a Canadian maple leaf on his hat)
"We have a phone message waiting for you. Could you please come inside? I'll show you to the phone so you can retrieve your message." So we go inside and look at each other, wondering if some catastrophe had happened back home.
The very nice gentleman showed us the phone at one side of the lobby, and gave us the 4 digit number to dial. Well, imagine our shock and delight when the message turned out to be Mickey and Minnie singing the Happy Anniversary Song and wishing us a wonderful vacation!!! I was laughing and crying at the same time and even DH had a huge grin on his face. We chatted with the CM for a few minutes while he seemed to doodle on his clipboard. Then he whips a paper off the clipboard and presented us with an official Magical Moments certificate!!
After offering many thanks for the special moment, we proceeded back out of the pavilion, a million times happier (and cooler!) than when we went in.
