Hello Melanie! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
My family went to Walt Disney World Resort on a vacation at a time when my retired father was wintering outside of Clearwater, Florida. We had not seen him in 2 months, so he decided to drive to Walt Disney World Resort for 1 day and surprise his Grandchildren while at the Resort Pool. My kids reacted with more surprise than they had when the met any of the Disney Princesses or characters.
Another
Endlessly Magical experience at Walt Disney World Resort!
