When my mom told me that I would be able to come on tour with her to work this summer I was so excited. While I knew that the job would be hard and the hours long, I was thrilled to be able to spend some quality time with my mom before I had to go back to Utah for college in the fall. During the tour, I definitely faced the challenges of what it’s like to be an adult and have such a hard job, despite that; I had the time of my life.

The break days were the best, whether it was getting nails done, Bourbon Street or even just relaxing and chatting over dinner, it was such a blast! However, while those days stick in my head as great highlights, my absolute favorite break day I would have to say was Disney World! From the time I was a little girl to now, I have always had a fond love for Disney. The place is magical. No matter what your age is, or where you are in life, Disney brings a smile to everyone that enters its doors.

I was so happy when my mom and I concocted the plan to take the crew to Disney on our break day. Everyone had been working so hard that we both knew they deserved some fun! What was even better was that almost none of them had been to Disney before! When we arrived, it was the same as it has always been, but I was still as excited as a little kid. Riding the rides, eating the yummy food and spending time with some of the greatest people are memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. I loved Space Mountain (the roller-coaster) and listening to everyone scream like a little child. Even better than that was watching everyone’s faces as we entered rides like Pirates of the Caribbean and the Buzz Light-year ride.

We went from being mature adults to little kids, laughing and screaming and soaking it all in. It was amazing! When the night finally came to an end, it was quite depressing, but we were tired and knew that we had to say good-bye to the Mouse. As we were leaving Disney with the fireworks blasting behind us, I knew it was a memory I’d never forget. Spending the day with my mom and the crew who have become like my older brothers was more than I could ever ask for.

Dreams really do come true
