Disney World February Trip
Mark found cheap airfare to Tampa and on Friday 2/9/07 Susan took Mike, Colleen, and Jillian to Florida for a quick weekend. Donna's next door neighbor picked us up at the airport. We borrowed grandma's car for a trip to Orlando on Saturday, and spent most of the day at Disney World. Mike tried to arrange visits with his friends, but couldn't work out any time together. We took our expired Disney Disabled Pass, Make-A-Wish t-shirts, and Colleen wore her expired GKTW button. Despite the December dates, she was honored as a Make-A-Wish visitor and we once again experienced VIP treatment. We were taken into fast pass lines, through back
entrances, and via exits in order to have quick entry to all the rides. We also took her to see all the characters with VIP access to see them. What a treat!
We left the theme park about 7 PM and headed to Give Kids the World village. The four of us were welcomed as a "Welcome Back Family". Susan tried to purchase dinner tickets, but they refused and told us meals there were ALWAYS free to Welcome Back Families. It was Mayor Clayton's birthday party, and we enjoyed the festivities. Colleen and JJ made pillows and played in the Castle. Colleen took a few rides on the Merry Go Round. Then Colleen and JJ took train rides at Amberville Station and at 9 PM when the village was closing up for the evening, the theatre gave us pop and candy for our trip back to Tampa.
Sunday we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa. After church we came back to the house to find a big "accident" poor old Miles had all over the front room carpet. He is 14 and acting his age, poor old boy. On the other hand, Susan's parents are doing very well. Sunday afternoon Donna and Susan took the girls to the gulf and they played in the surf and collected shells. Mike and grandpa stayed home and napped. The girls also visited the pier and then a playground.
Monday morning the shuttle picked us up and we flew home. It was a great weekend.
