I cannot even begin to describe the joy this program has given me. It was truly life changing. The program came full circle during the final week while we were working or just visiting the parks one last time. It was absolutely magical and I could not believe the time passed so quickly. All the people I met added something different to my experience. And I would not have had the same amazing experience without them.
During the last week, two of my best friends and I visited Animal Kingdom to say goodbye to Camp Minnie Mickey and see some of our favorite shows one last time. The day was complete with magical visits with the characters, thrilling attractions, over the top shows, and even a run in with a celebrity. Camp has given me so many memories from working there so often and I am very sad to see it go away to make room for new improvements to the parks. So visiting one last time was bittersweet.
Seeing the shows that we love, especially Festival of the Lion King was magical because we know so many people involved with the show and we even got to see someone that we had met on one of our first days in Florida. After seeing Finding Nemo the Musical, we were pushed into a crowd of people and ended up walking directly behind Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear and the Chew. It was awesome to see a celebrity just walking in the crowd just like everyone else.
We even stopped by Dinoland to visit our favorite puppy, Pluto and say goodbye to him with good boy treats (aka Mickey ice cream bars). Later in the evening we went to Expedition Everest multiple times and it was a thrilling way to end the day. I'm not sure what I'm going to do without seeing the sights of Walt Disney World every day. I will definitely miss it.
As Mickey Mouse says, "See ya real soon!"
Until later, Disney.
