We woke up early (4:30 am) on the 8th (my b-day) and jetted our way to the Magic Kingdom with out a hitch. We arrived at our hotel, The Polynesian Resort and there was a fountain as you walk into the building on both sides of the walkway. My Grandson wanted to throw a coin into the fountain and make a wish. Once we found some coins, we both did just that. He asked me w
hat my wish was and I told them that my wish had already come true...to be in Disney World with him. We checked into our rooms, took a little rest and then hit the pavement.To see Disney World through a child's eyes was indeed Magical. As we saw characters walking around, he would say "they are just suits", but he eventually got caught up in the magic and started talking to them.
One of our favorite memories was at Epcot in The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. There is an interactive show called The Turtle Talk with Crush Show. According to the attraction description, it is a live show where kids of all ages can have a conversation with the totally tubular turtle from Disney·Pixar's Finding Nemo. Well, Crush singled out our Grandson and had a conversation with him. Once he found out it was my birthday, I was serenaded with a personal Happy Birthday song from the infamous Crush. We were ecstatic....you couldn't have planned and paid for an experience like that.
Thanks Eggin!
