My greatest adventure began the moment I laid eyes on my then future husband. I felt it when I saw him coming toward me with the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen. I knew for sure my greatest adventure had begun when he uttered the words, "Let's go to Disney World!"
My name is Jennifer, and my beloved hubby's name is Matt. Together we have six children that range in ages from two to twenty-seven. We currently live in Texas, however we would most certainly LOVE to live in Florida one of these days. My husband and I are HUGE Disney fans! Some may call us obsessed. I just say we are in love with each other, our kiddos, and the memories we make together at the most magical place on Earth! The quality time we spend together at Disney is like no other. Being able to be together, experience every attraction together, and all have fun at the same time really is magical. It brings us closer together as a family, which as a blended family is extremely important.
Matt went to Walt Disney World for the first time way back in 1975. He was three, and Disney World had only been open for about three years as well! When he became an adult he visited Disney World again for the second time with his two oldest children, who were just itty bitty at the time. That's when his love for Disney blossomed, and now he has visited so many times he can't even begin to count them!
I grew up just dreaming of visiting Walt Disney World. I would see the castle in the opening credits of my favorite childhood movies, and I would watch my favorite television characters having the time of their lives at Disney World. It was a huge dream of mine to visit Disney World as a child, however that dream of mine had been forgotten by the time I had became a young adult. I believed the huge lie that Disney is only for kids. When I got divorced I was a mother of two small children, and I decided that I needed to take them to Disney so they could experience what I was never able to. I thought the magic was over for me, however they still had time to experience it.
Shortly after I started saving to take my children to Disney, I met Matt. We met each other online, and officially met for ice cream a couple weeks later. I just adored him from the beginning, and loved how easy it was to talk to him. He is a story teller, which is one of the reasons I think he loves Disney so much. Everything Disney does has a story! I promise you that Walt Disney World is not your average theme park. You walk in, and are instantly transformed into the story. No detail is left untouched. You are in a whole new world along with all your childhood dreams and favorite characters.
Anyways, back to what I was saying about my hubby! He is a story teller, and my favorite stories of his were those that took place at Walt Disney World. And boy, let me tell you! He had plenty of stories! Remember, I told you he has gone so many times now that he is unable to count how many times. He told me about every ride, restaurant, and experience he had had at Disney before meeting me. He got me so excited about Disney that I couldn't wait to go! Thankfully I didn't have to wait long! A few months after meeting he and I snuck off to Disney while my kids were at their Dad's house for Thanksgiving. I hadn't given birth to my current three year old daughter yet, so Matt and I were able to experience the magic of Disney all on our own during my very first Disney World trip at the ripe ol' age of 30. It was AMAZING! When someone tells you that Disney World is not romantic DO NOT believe them! It was the most romantic trip of my life. Nothing in my world screams romance louder than sitting in Gaston's Tavern in the evening with the love of my life, sharing a sweet treat and some hot chocolate, gazing out the window at the castle all lit up with beautiful icicle lights while listening to the music from Beauty and the Beast.That experience along with the beauty of Disney World decorated for Christmas helped put Disney World at the top of my list of all time romantic destinations. Speaking of Christmas, I would suggest everyone experience the park during the Christmas season at least once in their life. It is a very magical experience.
The rest of the story goes like this: Matt took me on a fun road trip to California a few months later. We stopped at amazing places along the way such as the Grand Canyon and Vegas. Once we were in California we visited Disneyland for the day, and the whole time I was hoping that he would propose to me! Nope, not that day. Not even when we were standing hand in hand in front of the castle with fireworks going off overhead! However, I found out later he had the ring in his pocket that whole day, and the thought of proposing there crossed his mind! The very next day he took me to Santa Monica for the first time. There in Santa Monica he recreated one of our very first dates that evening. It was the date Matt took us on back home where I realized I was head over heels in love with him. In Santa Monica we went to the same restaurant, different location, and then took a ride on the ferris wheel just like we had done on that date about a year ago. However, there was one big difference. During this ride he brought out a ring, and asked me to become his wife. I was absolutely shocked and overjoyed.
Now back to the present. I am about to visit Walt Disney World for the 10th time here in a few weeks. We went four times last year. One of our trips we even stayed for a month! During one of these trips we got to talking about how much we love Disney World.(Like it wasn't obvious!) We believe everyone should love Disney and that with good help anyone would love Disney.
