Trip update:
My on-line friend of 3 years came down to BC to meet mom and me. She posted a photo here:

Took mom to MK. She was not able to do POTC or the WEDway people mover. This upset her. But was able to do HM. IASW is still closed. PPF was a no go also. She was given a GAC with the alternate entrance on her first day and that has helped on a few occasions, but for the most part the lines have been short.
She loved just being in the park and was quite content to have me just push her around and see the park and the children enjoying themselves. Mom's late husband had a ring made with his name years ago. I took mom to the same place and had them make a ring with her name on it. She loved it so much. She put the ring on her finger with his ring and started crying. Not the reaction I was hoping for. She said "now we are together at DW again"
I took her to Liberty Square and got her a prime spot for the Electrical parade. All of the characters waved and blew kisses to her. She loved it. She was waving the whole parade.
After that we watched Wishes and she said "this has been the best trip of her life. She started crying again. I asked what was wrong. She said "Thank you". Well that did it for me. I had tears streaming down my face and was so glad we were in the mass exodus heading for the exit and no one noticed.
It has been a magical trip so far.
