The theme for this week's Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop, 9/12/12 is

  Magical Memories

I've posted this magical moment before but I just had to share it again, it's that magical for me.
Peter 
just let his AS disabilities go and stepped up all by himself for his very first pin trade in 2000. The Boardwalk greeter was so kind and patient with him. I could here him talking to her quietly.  We had discussed pin trading often, picked out a few pins to trade and he had watched his brother trade many times on previous trips. I guess all the preparation worked.  That was a magical moment!



Here's another magical memory for you. This picture is only a representation of the actual experience since my camera batteries died and I don't have a picture from it.
One night we were headed to Epcot for Illuminations. Rushing from the Contemporary platform I asked the operator if we'd make it to Epcot in time to see Illuminations. The CM just shrugged. He showed us to the second or third car, all by ourselves. The monorail ride was quiet and seemed slower than usual. Just as we passed in front of Space Ship Earth the monorail glided to a stop. I immediately thought it was broken and that we'd be stuck there for awhile, high up in the air with the World Showcase on one side and Space Ship Earth on the other. I remember saying to DH, we are going to miss the whole thing because something is wrong with the monorail.

Just then the fireworks started. All of us sat there in shock and awe as we watched Illuminations perched high above the World Showcase.

    How cool that you stopped on the monorail to watch Illuminations!! How long did you stay before the monorail went into the station? Truly magical! :-)

    I love this theme and I'm looking forward to reading everyone's magical memories! That must have been an incredible view of the fireworks but I love the story about your son's pin trading experience - it's always so amazing to see a child step beyond his/her comfort zone - Disney can definitely be a place where magic happens!

    Well, can I say that I had tears in my eyes looking at your son in 2000? Isn't there truly something magical about our kids and how they react in this "Fantasyland"??
