Disney magic

Published November 14, 2016

Each of the kids were introduced to Disney early in life, all were still in diapers. It’s one commonality they share.

25 years later, 2 of 3 still feel that magic. The force is strong with these two 🙂

Since finding my ‘forever home’ in Colorado, I often struggle with our distance & actively maintaining relationships. Dave’s a moderate-to highly operating autistic…has been since age 3. Now 21, he’s Level 2 on the spectrum: “requiring substantial support”. David has the truest heart of the 3, the kindest soul…but he will always need care. Physically strong, mentally adept – but trapped in a mind which misfires social signals. Always been Disney-motivated, super strong bond to his Mom. Plan B? My guest room in Colorado is adorned with Peter Pan memorabilia. Dave will always have a home.

Took advantage of an open-ended offer to join David & family sometime during their 3-week Disney adventure. Purchased airfare & a Park Pass, bed-shared at the family’s timeshare. Although not a fan of crowds…I do love my family. PLUS, crazy fun to see Dave & Michaela in their element/favourite place on Earth/where they feel most comfortable.

Quick shower after my Saturday morning marathon, shared two half-days at MGM Studios…sandwiched ‘round a full day at Magic Kingdom. Park rides, Disney princesses galore…and a whole lotta shows. FAAANNNTASTIC magical time!
