My name is Kristina and I am a Disney addict. My DF and friends tell me that I should be admitted to Disney Anonymous.
My first time to Disney was back in 1995 with my mom, dad, and brother. We spent 4 days at the parks and then did a cruise on The Big Red Boat. I can honestly say I don't remember much of that trip but things changed when I went again in 2007 with my late husband.
Josh had been on deployment most of 2007. When he returned home that November we were syked because my mom had booked us a 4 day trip at her timeshare offsite. Josh had never been to Disney and that's all he talked about the whole deployment.
I remember the night before the trip we could barely sleep. His parents had flown in from VA to watch our daughter while we were gone. We got up that morning and finished getting ready and our friend took us to the airport. We spent the first day at timeshare swimming and just relaxing.
The next day we got on the bus and headed to Magic Kingdom. I will never forget the look on Josh's face when we arrived at Magic Kingdom and he saw the castle. His eyes lit up like a little kid's and his jaw hit the floor. We had a blast just walking around the park and riding the different rides. I remember when we were standing in line for Space Mountaint he started freaking out telling me he was scared of the dark and he didn't want to ride it. I just looked at him and laughed and told him he'd be okay. We got off of it and all he kept saying was WOW over and over.
The trip was memorable and I will never forget it. My first trip back to Disney after Josh's passing was July of 2009. My friends and fiance stayed at SSR for a few days. We were there to make arrangement for our Disney wedding. I remember walking into Magic Kingdom and at the first sight of the castle just started to cry. All of those memories came flooding back from Josh and I's trip back in 2007. Every ride we rode I had images going through my head of Josh and I riding them. It was while we were on that trip that I decided I wanted to make this trip every year not just to have a nice annual vacation but to do it in memory of him.
