I had bought the tickets for the Expo the DAY they came out, earning us a hefty discount and a settled mind knowing we would indeed be going. Three days of unexpected shows, celebrities, artists, panels, and displays for Disney geeks such as myself. I have even convinced Kiwi to dress up in costume with me for one of the days. I wont reveal too much of that yet until I have gotten a little farther into planning, but I will admit it's going to be extremely cute.
I am not sure what the event will have in store for us, but I am happy knowing Kiwi will be at my side. Travel is one of Kiwi's greatest talents. His cool head, calm demeanor and street smart reactions will keep my anxiety at bay and hopefully settle my stomach enough to get us through the custom checks unscathed.
Kiwi has been all over the world. Tales from which often come up in conversation and boggle my brain with how many places he has actually been. Humble, so much so that he will only mention them if the current topic is related, and in turn will set me into a small panic of trying to remember if he had mentioned it before.
While Kiwi was lucky enough to see many countries, I was (not equally) lucky to visit my favourite place on earth numerous times. I have seen attractions come and go, princesses move off the grounds and into a shaded hut, Ariel's grotto dismantled, and even a new park built across the plaza (that was once a parking lot where sections were named after Lion King characters.) I am lucky to live such a short distance away from such a fantastic place, but still live in Canada. Our flight is only 2.5 hours and by the time we check into our hotel, we can literally cross the street and enter the park for our first day.
Once we're inside, I will be the cool, calm, collected leader that can maneuver crowds, beat the lines, and offer experienced guidance. I'll be able to show Kiwi part of my world
Oo-De-Lally.
