Originally Posted By crazycroc Yes, there are many varied and assorted Disney pals who make things so much more magical-dagical for each of us. To me the embodiment of Disney helper is my sister, Kath. When I go to Disneyland it is as if she can anticipate my every need and want. I'm hungry? She'll have a Blue Bayou monte cristo sandwhich hidden in her purse. Sore feet? She'll take me to area under the monorail by the old motor boat lagoon and delicately massage and rub my feet with medicated lotion until they are rejuvenated. Her selfless dedication to my own personal enjoyment of the park includes, but is not limited to: Sitting in the middle of the hub, from park opening until fireworks to save me the best seat while I enjoy the rides. Purchasing my DL, hotel, and plane tickets 9 times a year so I can go there. Gently singing Disney songs to me as I sleep. She's quite a gal. And I agree Tink Mobile, that we are all special pals, and I include you in all my daily prayers and hope that your vacation to Disneyland transcends the realm of reality and takes you into the next dimension. Soaring ever gently over rainbows and into the dreamlands of fantasy and children's secret wishes. Best, Crazycroc

Originally Posted By Shiva bjorn, you and cindy are definitely two of the nicest people I have ever been blessed to meet, even if it's only on-line. it's been an absolute pleasure chatting with you over the past couple of days. You are both very special people. I was a little curious if you were going to fly down or drive. My first impression was that the Tink-Mobile might have been a motor home and you would be driving. Then I considered the distance and thought otherwise. Now I know. If you take the most common route through CA down to DL (HWY 5) you'll have to pass within 3 miles of the house. Our home is always open to you. Tinkeroon and I would love to meet you and I'm sure our best friends (The Clones), RAM1984 aka iamsally and her DH Rhodri would feel the same way. You'll probably be a little pushed for time on the drive down but, if you have a chance on the return trip, we would be honored.
Originally Posted By crazycroc I would let you stay at my house, but it's 800 miles away. : ) But seriously.... Let your dreams lift you like helium over the cotton candy forest and make even your drive into heaven on earth more magical. {wink} Even the drive to Disneyland is more special than a drive to the grocery store, or hospital, or church. Don't forget the extra books and snacks for the kiddies and be sure to point me out to everyone when on the jungle cruise. Blessings and valentine candy hearts, Crazy Candy Croc

Originally Posted By Shiva bjorn, Santa Nella is less than an hour from our house and Tinkeroon just loves Pea Soup Andersons. Maybe we could meet up for a quick dinner and then get out of your way so that you two can get a good nights rest in preparation for the last leg of your trip...just a thought crazycroc, I just love your posts!!! Please keep them coming!

But through it all is the love and the desire to bring out a smile and lifetime lasting memory created by a magical little man with his own kingdom of special persons and friends. Don't let the desire to make things perfect over shadow the love you are expressing by sharing Disney with you and yours. Soon you'll be drifting like dandelion dust over the magic kingdom, and I hope that you will spread exponentially throughout Anaheim. God Bless the Outcasts.

Take the time to smell the flowers, and the bees will make a nest of guardianship in your honor.

Originally Posted By Shiva We're about 55 miles north of Santa Nella. You can't miss Pea Soup Anderson's, just home in on the big windmill.

I can't promise that we'll be alone. There might be 2 other LP'ers with us, if that's okay. Unfortunately it's bedtime for Shiva, I've been staying up a little too late on LP lately and it's been catching up with me. Big Hugs to you both!!

Originally Posted By LogDog Glad I could help, Tink. I'm so excited that you get to go. I only get to make it down once every few years, and we'll be going down Dec 7-9.

Originally Posted By Shiva LogDog, Tinkeroon and I will be there the same time as you, along with a few other LP'ers. Shall we set up a mini-meet? It would be great to meet you too!
Originally Posted By crazycroc I wanna meet everyone!!! Let's become like a real family. Hugs and twinkles, Crazycroc
Originally Posted By Shiva crazycroc, we are a real family! We share sonething very special that non-Disney personalites will never be able to appeciate.

We even share much more of our lives with each other. if that's not family, I don't know what is...and yes, we would love to meet you too!
