The nightmare is over, the dream continues, and we may never wake up!
Cast:
me
DH, John
DD 8
Dec. 24 thru Jan. 3
ASSp Room 2250
So NOW we're live...it's Wednesday dec. 26 and I am so excited and teary-eyed I may make several typos, so bear with me.
In review, our luggage had been lost, our DD's Christmas was looking bleak, and Disney stepped in and made things great with some Christmas goodies and a special VIP parade viewing.
But does Disney stop there? No! A friend of Mickey Mouse calls the room this morning around 10 as I was typing days 1&2 reports. They say that they would like to come and see Olivia. What's this about? Not 5 minutes later comes a knock at the door and a WDW CS manager is there with two HUGE bags of goodies for Olivia!
Immediately I start (everyone say it with me) crying like an idiot! I tell her that this is so not necessary, that everything turned out fine, we have our bags, etc. she says, "I know...but on behalf of Disney we wanted to say Merry Christmas to Olivia all over again!"
I am crying right now as I type this! The fact that they went so overboard to ensure that MY daughter be blown away like this for Christmas...there just aren't words for how I feel!
So she opens a card that says,
"Dear Olivia,
Mickey told me about your troubles, and wanted me to send you some Christmas cheer. I hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas, your friend Megan, MK Guest relations"
She begins opening, and John and I are bawling at what they had done! She keeps saying, "Mickey must know I like ...., Mickey must remember I love...."
John will post pictuers, but a rundown of the presents are: a backpack, pillow, duffel bag, folders, alarm clock, jewelrey box, stickers, makeup and mirror, stamp set, lite up tiara, HSM2 extended DVD, Hannah Montana DVD/CD 2 disc special, a tinkerbell necklace, and a Cinderella doll and horse! And the icing on the cake? A GIANT Minnie Mouse plush (which at the moment is with DD at the food court having breakfast and will undoubtedly be joining us for the remainder of the trip...I am thinking it will take some sort of adhesive solvant to separate them!)
When the return from breakfast, we will be goign to MGM to meet up with our friends Michelle and Brian (some of you at the I-cOT Meet may remember them), but first we have to stop and thank (and I will have to hug, too ) everyone we can for what they've done!
It's so much, it's too much, it's more than our situation deserved! I will not ever forget this, and I will never get the sound of my daughter saying "this is the best trip ever!" "this is my favorite Christmas" "I love Mickey Mouse!" out of my head!
Merry Christmas to you all and more posts and pics will follow shortly! Right now I have to get ANOTHER kleenex and then go hug some necks!

Okay, so now you have the rest of us crying right along with you. How magical. This truly is turning out to be much better than it began. I sure hope Megan gets some much deserved praise from the higher ups at disney.
Olivia is absolutely beautiful. She looks so happy. What a great bunch of goodies.
btw, where did you find the Mickey wreath hanging on your window?

Christine, that is so awesome! Leave it to Disney to go way above and beyond to make something right, even something that wasn't their fault. Have a great rest of the trip!

Well... I had to make a trip to the supply closet to get a box of kleenex! How awesome of Disney to come thru for you in a truly magical way! I'm sure this is gonna be a trip that you will never forget! And judging from Olivia's smile she will never forget it either! In fact, I bet she will be wanting to spend EVERY Christmas at Disney from this day forward! Hope the rest of your trip is full of magic and wonder!

I made it! I got a 15" wreath and 2- 8" wreaths at the dollar store, then used some twine to bind them together. On the front side you can see I added a bow to make it a Minnie wreath.

Christine, you're making me cry... I have a feeling I'll need tissues for the rest of your reports!! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am for you guys that your Christmas was made so extra magical by Disney's wonderful CM's... we've heard so many people talk about how grouchy some of them have been lately, and to see them shine and do all they can to make a little girl's Christmas as magical as they did for Olivia - that says it all - the magic is definitely alive & well!! I'll bet they just loved doing it for her, too... sigh... I'm crying again for you guys, just thinking about it!!
I'm amazed by all they put together for her... WOW!! What a wonderful memory for you guys. And way to go with that Mickey wreath -- I'm keeping that in mind for next year!!
Can't wait to read more... I'm living vicariously through you!! (And I loved seeing the pics from ASSports... made me "homesick"... )
(and I can just hear you saying "I have to go hug some necks"!! )
