So you only have to say ‘I’m so glad you had fun’ once.

by Miss Britt on December 16, 2008

This year was a 180 degree difference from last year.

It was a full weekend instead of one night.

It was three theme parks instead of one.

It was happiness and laughter and relaxation and pure, unadulterated joy – instead of… well… something else entirely.

It was magic. Corny, cheesy, commercialized to perfection magic.

I cannot say thanks enough to our friend, Caroline, who dragged her butt out of bed Saturday and Sunday, after working overnight shifts, so that we could get into the parks for free. Without her, this perfect weekend would not have been possible.

The four of us are humbled and overwhelmed by your generosity.

Well, the three of us. Emma, to be honest with you, has no idea what the big deal is. And why she didn’t get a freaking balloon with a Mickey Mouse head in it, by the way.

    I’m so glad you had fun! Your recap abilities, however, suck. Seriously, c’mon. Two full days at Disney, and that’s it?

    This is why I should just follow you around 24/7.

    Does Emma yell, “Mommy, you forgot to drive!” often?

    It looks as if you all had a great time. of course now I realized I have to get off my lazy ass and get a job. No, my family doesn’t NEED money…. but a vacation next year at Disney is obviously what Gunner NEEDS for his 6th birthday. Glad Devin had a great birthday. (Loved the matching striped shirts)

    I love Disney and all of it’s magical corniness. I’m glad everyone had a great time and that it redeemed last year.

    OK, all my comments have been stolen by others, including the text/Twitter thing.

    So… your hair looks fabulous.

    My Flip is the shiz. Every parent needs one.

    You’re making me miss Disney, and making me realize we don’t need to go very often to keep the magic. So, now I don’t feel so bad for not going in the last 2 years.

    Heh. I’m so glad you had fun. :P

    I really am, though. I think Disneyland is blast, but I’ve never been to Disney World. I can only imagine that it’s just as much if not more fun.

    As cheesy corny as it sounds. seeing your compilation video was like a refresher as to why I work at Disney… aside from all the crappy days, its knowing families are smiling and actually having fun :)

    … dont let James know his girlfriend actually has a heart. It might let him down quite a bit. We cant harm such a fragile soul such as his ;)
