Episode 2: Kat and Minnie’s Great Adventure

One of the fun things about taking Kat with me to Disney World for the first time together was sharing things with her that I have done so many times before. My family first went to Disney World in 1987 and my husband, daughter and I have gone every year for 22 years. We just kept going year after year and honestly I can say each year we found something new and exciting we had missed the previous year. It was great fun to share with Kat things I had enjoyed over the years.

What we love most about going is the opportunity to capture just for a few days that childlike happiness and abandon that is inside all of us, but gets pushed back at times by the real world we live in. We love the opportunity for a short time to experience Disney magic. It truly is an escape.

Over the course of 22 years we have made many wonderful friends at Disney. Many were working the front desk at the resorts 20 years ago and now are in executive management positions. Those friendships will play a large part in the magic of our trip.

Ok, now back to Saratoga Springs, we checked in and got our informational packet. It is always interesting at check in because my friends always make notations in the computer about my arrival and put me on VIP status and as the front desk agent reads the computer, you can suddenly see her eyes get large and then she disappears behind that door that one always wonders what is back there.

What is back there is the management...

Several have asked Kat or me to write a trip report about our trip to Disney in late February, I got elected. So after delays in gathering photos, and computer problems, and life in general this is it.

Warning, this is going to be a trip report that is, for lack of a better phrase annoyingly happy. Due to much stress in my life and Kat’s we set out on this adventure with one purpose in mind, to have as much fun as we could, and believe me we did.

Hopefully Kat will jump in and interject some of her personal comments and observations. Traveling with Kat is definitely an adventure and I say that with the greatest appreciation for someone that knows how to have a good time and appreciates the smallest things in a very large way. My life has been very blessed to become her friend.

I drove down from Memphis on Saturday, Feb. 21 after many road construction delays and detours I got to SoWal early evening. I called Kat to let her know I had arrived, checked into my room at the Marriot Sandestin, and got a quick bite to eat and settled in to read a good book.

Suddenly realized what it was I had forgotten; my laptop. Later decided this was probably a blessing, in that it removed me and Kat from all things such as email, etc. during our week at Disney. In talking to Kat we decided we wanted to get an early start, so I told her I would pick her up at 7am, and she was already ready to get on the road so I got to bed, to get a good...
