Friday came by fast and it was time to say goodbye. We said goodbye to the hotel and to Disney. Whenever I'm on vacation I always look forward to going home, but this vacation seemed to have flown by too fast. I also felt sad that the vacation started with cold weather and some frustrating circumstances. Still, it was an amazing trip and one I don't want to forget. Before we headed for Disney my husband said this would be the only time we would go but then he said he would love to go back ... someday.
We dropped off our luggage at the front and almost missed the bus that was taking us to the airport. It was a relief that the driver was willing to wait "5 minutes" for my husband to get back from dropping off our luggage. The bus showed a video that was saying goodbye to us and hoping we enjoyed our trip. I felt some tears sliding down my cheek. I didn't want it to end. As expensive as the trip was it was the best.
We got to the Orlando airport and headed to DC. As we were waiting for the next flight I noticed a familiar face and couldn't believe it. Have you every watched America's Got Talent? Season 12 winner ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer stood with her parents not far from where we were sitting. She was my daughter's favorite on the show. If you never had the opportunity to watch Darci Lynne on the show look her up. She's amazing. I've never seen a ventriloquist being able to sing opera through a puppet. Amazing. When I saw her I mentioned it to the family but I was not sure if it would be right to go up to her. Sometimes celebrities don't want to be bothered. My husband took our daughter over and she seemed thrilled to see her little fan and her mother seemed so full of joy over it.
I immediately emailed the picture to my dad and he couldn't believe it. He's also a fan of her. That was definitely a pretty cool way to end the vacation.
Somehow we missed the first call to board our plane and rushed when we heard them make the final call. We made it. Whew! However, because of the snow we had to wait for the plane to get deiced. It was a long wait but finally we took off. Back into Pennsylvania we were.
We made it home, my husband picked up our dog from the kennel, and we just spent the rest of the day relaxing. I was exhausted, tried finding the energy to unpack and was just not ready to get back to reality.
We booked our Disney trip through a travel agency called My Mickey Vacation. Since it was our first trip I wanted to have someone help in case we miss something. We bought plenty of fast passes, dinner reservations and the photo pass. It was all worth it. I hope the opportunity comes again and that we can afford another trip. It may not be until the kids are teenagers but I'm so eager to go back and experience it again.
I loved being a kid again! Thank you Walt Disney World for the magic!
