50 Days to Go: Disney Memories (3)

This Disney memory is courtesy of my 2004 trip, which was my class' senior trip!

On our day in Hollywood Studios, we were given dinner and group seats to the show "Fantasmic!" The dinner was not the greatest, which made me wonder if Disney chefs cooked it at all or if they brought in outside food (because seriously, that food was bad). We were a bit too high for great views (or pictures) but the show was magical itself. As the April night wore on, we got chilly. Being seniors in high school, we hadn't developed the foresight to bring our jackets with us before leaving our rooms, so we were huddling together and shivering. The ever courteous Disney staff saw this and cast members handed out table clothes for us to use as blankets. And we watched Mickey save the day, wrapped together in table clothes and happy. Upon returning to the room(s), my friends and I decided to order pizza. A few of us went to pick it up (and I went to refill my cup) and ate it in our room while we planned our next day. The teacher came to pick up our room keys so we couldn't sneak out and wished us a "good night."

A few days later, we were thanked by the same teacher for never giving her a problem as some girls had been caught sneaking out. She knew we followed the rules and made our own after hours fun in the rooms (normally planning sessions that just evolved into gabfests). Those were some of the best nights ever.
