A couple of weeks before Christmas, my grandma asked about taking a trip to Disney World the weekend after Christmas. The holiday came and went and then we decided to go ahead for the weekend. Finding a hotel room was interesting, planning the rest of the trip was surprisingly easy. My grandma has a few health issues and she originally said she'd just sit on a bench while my grandpa and I went on rides...I don't think so.
The great thing about the Magic Kingdom is that there's plenty to do even for those with medical issues. We drove down Saturday morning and parked at the Ticket and Transportation Center. The lines to get them tickets was crazy so we rode the monorail to the Polynesian for lunch and bought tickets at the resort. First thing in the park we got a DAS card. We only had to use it once but it worked for what we needed it for. Grandma didn't think she was going to be doing anything but taking in the atmosphere; I wasn't going to leave here out of the fun. We ended up going on the Jungle Cruise, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Carousel of Progress, and the train; watched the Enchanted Tiki Birds, Country Bears, the Christmas Parade and went on a hunt for fudge that ended up being snack time at the Circus. She had a wonderful time and was happy that she got to participate with my Grandpa and I. There is a good chance that she'll never ride the TTA again but the look on her face as the car sped up will be something I will cherish forever. Unfortunately my phone died, completely died, after dinner at the Wave so I have no pictures from the trip.
We spent Sunday sleeping in and visiting the Grand Floridian. There is a gingerbread house in the lobby that is large enough for a store. It was a fun, relaxing weekend. My grandparents are awesome. We've always been close and it was nice having them to myself for a couple of days.
