Wordless Wednesday: First Photo
-------------------------------------------------
I've had Disney on my mind lately...like a lot. With the recent opening of registration for Princess and finally booking our rooms for February, the countdown is on! I am so excited for a lot of firsts for my little family and I!
Speaking of firsts, for today's Wordless Wednesday I'm sharing our very first Disney World photo together, which stems from our Honeymoon in 2007. Although this trip was not a first to Walt Disney World for either of us, it was our first together!
When we arrived at WDW, we headed straight for Epcot and apparently the Seas! The second photo was our first castle photo...
...and they lived happily ever after. Awwww... :)
Hard to believe we will be married 10 years in April! Time flies when you're having fun!
Have a great rest of your week!
When you think about your first Disney photo, what image comes to mind?

April Calendar Shot–Our Honeymoon!
Our honeymoon was so much fun and filled with so many magical moments and special touches – Disney definitely knows how to do it right! From a carriage ride through Port Orleans Riverside, to dinner at Victoria and Albert's, to shenanigans with the characters, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Today’s theme is: April Calendar Shot
Host: Deb at Focused on the Magic
Want to read about our ultimate Magical Moment? It was truly an amazing experience and still ranks high in my lifetime of favorite moments, ever! :)
Have you ever spent time on a special occasion at WDW/Disneyland/DCL?

A Very Magical Moment
If you know me well enough by now, you know that I’m a huge Disney fan. What you may not know is that my husband and I spent a week in Disney World for our Honeymoon!
With our 6th Wedding Anniversary this past weekend, I thought it fitting to share a very magical moment from our Honeymoon with you! :0)
For starters, I always wanted to go to Disney World for my honeymoon and wear the cute Bride/Groom ears while there. I had seen other couples wearing the ears on previous trips with my family and I always thought it was adorable.
It took a little convincing, but Jason agreed! :0)
On the afternoon of our EPCOT day, we approached the American Adventure a few minutes early in hopes of catching the Voices of Liberty. Standing outside the American Adventure was a Cast Member who spotted us and asked if we were recently married. We told him yes and then he asked if we had received a phone call that day? All week, we had been asked the very same question by cast members from several different parks however, we weren't going to turn down anyone's pixie dust! We told him no (even though we heard the message numerous times) and were led to a hidden phone inside the entry corridor of the attraction. Mickey and Minnie were on the line to wish us a Happily Ever After – such a cute phone call!
When the message was over, we thought the cast member was finished with us but we were wrong! He presented us with a Magical Moments Certificate that he himself had prepared!
The fun didn’t stop there! He then walked us over to the Liberty Inn (quick service next door to the attraction)…and well….see what happened next…
The video cut off the end (because I wasn’t expecting it), but he yelled to the crowd, “Let’s give them three cheers” and the crowd cheered! It all felt so surreal! (I apologize for the poor quality of this video…the next video is better, I promise!)
After the cheers were over, the Cast Member led us back inside the American Adventure to the open arena and instructed us to sit on the edge of the circle in the middle of the floor. (We were one of the first to arrive.)
The liberty singers walked out and began their show like normal. We had the best seats in the house and I still couldn’t believe all of the special pixie dust we received until that point.
Little did I know, the best was yet to come!!
Check out the icing on the cake of our most magical moment…..
…and what a Honeymoon extravaganza we had!
I left the American Adventure with tears in my eyes. I could not believe that the most timeless Disney song, “When You Wish Upon A Star” was dedicated to US! Such a special moment – I was awestruck!
Sidebar…when you hear the audience laugh in the video, it’s because we were both sitting there side by side, absolutely mesmerized by the moment, not really thinking about what was going on….. The “ringleader” gave Jason “that look” and gestured for him to put his arm around me! :0)
Several years later, we stopped by to see the Voices of Liberty again and this time, we were able to thank the “ringleader” for the amazing memory she gave us!
She was flattered we remembered her and I let her know that her gift was something we would never forget! :0) I’ve also thanked the Cast Member (who stands outside of the American Adventure) many times for everything he did for us on that special day.
I know that Cast Members are supposed to ensure that the park guests have a great time, but I felt as if these particular ones went above and beyond. So much so, here we are 6 years later and I still remember vivid details of my experience!
It’s because of moment’s like the ones we experienced on our Honeymoon that we keep coming back for more!
Where Dreams Come True? Yes, I believe so!
Have you ever had a “Magical Moment” at a Disney Park? If so, share! :0)
Have a Magical day!
