Theme Park Karma

If there is such a thing as karma, the hubby and I are loaded with it - at least as far as theme park going goes.

Over the years, the Hubby and I have been:
*the "Disney Family of the Day" at the All-Star Sports Resort,
*guest conductors on the Magic Kingdom train,
*the Prince & Princess of Pleasure Island,
*Grand Marshals of the 'Share A Dream' parade at the Magic Kingdom.

What a hoot that was!
We not only got to ride in Walt's electric car, we were given our own personalized Mouse Ears!

About a year later we were asked a 2nd time, but declined so that someone else would have that wonderful experience.

(You may wonder how the Grand Marshals are chosen. I don't know what the exact criteria might be except for one thing: don't ask.)

Then, when our son and his bride came for a delayed honeymoon, we visited Disney Studios on the 1st day. We all received special Fast Passes from the Disney Dream Team.

While waiting in line for a photo op with Mike and Sully, my hubby got a phone call from Disney - the kids received a surprise resort upgrade from a Value Resort (All-Star Sports) to a Deluxe resort (Contemporary).

On the Magic Kingdom day, we received another round of Dream Team Fast Passes.

And apparently the karma isn't only at the Mouse House.

I have been chosen by the man, err, thing-him-it-self, to dance with Beetlejuice at Universal's Graveyard Rock 'n Roll Review. (Yo, B.J., you never called like you said you would)

And then during the same afore-mentioned honeymoon trip, the four of us happened to be at Universal Orlando the day "Disaster" opened. Guess who was asked to help open the new ride?


Not only did we get to stand on the same stage with Bill Davis, the President of Universal Orlando, and The Rock, Dwayne Johnson (a mighty fine-lookin' young fella!), we got golden ride passes for the day.

I can't wait to find out what's next!
