Hello all!
Got back to the melting tundra of Nebraska last night after a wonderful, kidless anniversary trip to WDW with my wife.
This year, even more than usual, it was the cast members that totally made the trip.
Sunday morning we took the Keys To The Kingdom tour with a wonderful guide named Claire. The passion with which she imparted so much knowledge to us was inspiring. The tour showed us just how hard cast members in all roles work to make things as magical as they do for simple guests like myself. Made me wish I could move to Florida now and be a part of making magic for others.
The characters and their friends were also simply amazing. A couple of 35 year old kids couldn't have asked for better interaction with the characters.
We wore our anniversary celebration pins we were given at check in and cast members would stop us and talk to us and ask us how many years, younger ones (including Princess Tiana) would ask us for advice on how to make it last 15 years.
Spent a lot of time on monorails going between parks and dinner reservations at monorail resorts. The monorail family was professional but very friendly as always, and made it a pleasure to ride.
For these and zillions of other reasons, this was the best trip I've had to WDW, and I would like to thank all of the hard working cast members who made it possible. I'm sure I probably encountered someone from SGT along the line, as we hit nearly every attraction.
Thanks!!!!!!
