Fairy God Mother says now now, no tears princess

 Grandma and Grandpa Pack had been having problem after problem, as they came down early to enjoy some time alone. It wasn't as they expected. They didn't get their luggage until 2:30am at the mistake of Disney. Shortly after, they were awoken to a knock at the door after 3am, when they had called for extra blankets hours before. They ended up changing hotels. It would be the third hotel room Grandma and Grandpa were moving too, as us Turano's arrived in Orlando. We wanted adjoining rooms so they could share in the excitement with the kids. Also so that we could put the kids to bed and Kevin and I sneak back out, at night.

 I am sure that Grandpa felt like our Fairy God Mother, having to perfect everything for us.. After all the mess at the hotel, all his chores were done. He had been to two different grocery stores to buy Will's food, find some dry ice to store it in, he had gotten Mom to the gym and more.

Even though some nasty step-sisters didn't rip our little Brooke's ball gown apart, that night we arrived.....

Brooke's little heart was torn apart as we finally had arrived at the Animal Kingdom lodge where we were staying. She heard the hotel associate telling us, that although he saw in the computer, that we had requested adjoining rooms three times, and confirmed it twice that day...Some one had messed up and they would not be able to give it to us....

The Princess was crying, of course probably also because it was almost midnight and her dress was about to turn into rags, the carriage into a pumpkin, and her parents into mice. 

But Fairy God Mother wouldn't have anyone crying. After all he is magic...

He told the manager how long we had been coming to Disney, and if they couldn't do something to fix this, then Disney just isn't the Disney that it used to be....

With the wave of his wand, our surroundings transformed...We did have to get into a car for it to happen, but we went from a very beautiful hotel that we were very excited to stay at, to the most luxurious, most grand, most elegant hotel on all of Disney property.

The magic of walking into the hotel, made all of the fear of changing into pumpkins, mice, and rags go away. The kids were giddy, and full of energy all the sudden.

We had a once in a life time chance of staying at the Grand Floridian Spa and Resort. It was so nice to walk into this hotel after a busy crazy day at the parks. As you would arrive each day there was a sense of peace with light piano music playing. There wasn't very many people staying there because it is so incredibly expensive to stay there.

We felt like Royalty, staying right on the monorail and in such a beautiful place.

And little princess Brooke was where she belonged, in all of her princess gowns. She fit right in with the chandeliers, and marble floors. Thank you fairy God Mother for not giving up it ;)















When Kevin and I were on our Honey Moon, Kevin vowed one day that we would stay at this Grand Floridian Hotel. It was both a dream of ours. We didn't think it would come true so soon.

Our rooms had balcony's over looking the lake and you could see Magic Kingdom and the pavilion and man made beach where weddings are held.

I loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa looking out the balcony together that first night. I snuck a sneaky picture ;)

I also have so many more pictures of our resort. I will be going threw pictures more and adding more, that I will email to you as I go along. :)
So many pics to go threw, but I need to get started!
