My parents took my brother and sister and I to Disney World, as kids. Nothing was more magical then that! Disney is like Christmas, it just draws all the love and joy out of you, and those around you, and wraps you in the warmest memories no matter what was going on the day before, or what was supposed to happen tomorrow. You can not help but be in love walking through the Disney air, and just happy, as you recognize that love in the faces of the hundreds of other families walking too. And that is why I knew from that young age, that I simply HAD to come back to the Magic Kingdom one day, with my boyfriend!17 years ago, it's entirely likely that I assumed the boyfriend I'd return with would be Jonathon Taylor Thomas, or Zac Hanson, if I was lucky..but 17 years later, it all worked out rather perfectly. And I was right! While Disney is SO magical as a child, because everything is new, and so real, and so big...it was definitely just as magical to be strolling those streets as a 25 year old, holding hands with the love of your life. Love, and magic, on top of love and magic.
I don't care what people (my Grama, lol) say about it being a ridiculously overpriced day, and noisy, and too busy, and nothing new...it is where dreams come true. Where the glass slipper ALWAYS fits.
Florida was my first post-op vacation. My too-high expectations were slightly un-met, because I am a naturally anxious traveler, and our vacation dates matched my 'time of the month' dates, so I hurt a lot, and I didn't eat much, but I was happy. I was happy to get away, and smile, and be in love, and spend quality time, and start leaving the past few excruciating years in the past.
If only giant tricycles, and 24/7 Walmarts were more prevalent in Ontario...
Happiest holidays,
Princess Georgia
