    After about 10 minutes of conversation, where we were from, what we were up to, were we Disney fans the CM said, "Well, I bet I have something you've never done before..." And she asked us if we wanted to be in the parade.

    I had figured out what she was doing, my Dad suspected but my Mom was completely floored. The funny thing was we were not planning on hanging around the MK that long, but it's not like you get a chance to be a Grand Marshal every day.

    We got to ride in the Stagecoach, and 2 40-ish woman were in the old car. They took our cameras to take pictures while we were on the route. The other woman didn't have a camera, so they brought out disposables for them. It was lots of fun.
