I'm sure you've heard all about how magical Disney World is.
I mean, the castle is breathtaking:
But there's another reason why Disney World is magical.
My teenager smiles there. Genuine smiles where I can see his dimples.
Sometimes I wonder if he's forgotten how to smile because I get looks like this:
But at Disney World, he's full of excitement. On the plane ride over, he had a wide grin on his face.
I'm grimacing because of the turbulence. He loved it.
Tommy did full belly laughs at the Coke store at Disney Springs because he was mixing gross concoctions and making his sister and I try them:
Laughing.
Smiling.
He even chuckled with his sister. They were....GETTING ALONG!
He gave genuine hugs to certain characters:
Yes. Disney World is a magical place.
And we can't wait to go back.
How awesome is this? We just booked our trip for August today :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so great!! I love how he bonded with Natalie.

ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean! It's rare that I get smiles from my teenager. It's so nice to find a place where they are genuinely happy!

I am still planning my Disney world trip with my family. Can't wait to meet Goofy myself.
ReplyDeleteThat is great to see that Disney can bring out the happy in him!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for him to experience such a fun day.

ReplyDeleteThis is amazing!!!! His smile is wonderful and has such an infectious spirit about him. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a wonderful trip! I've never been to Disney World but it does sound pretty magical.
ReplyDeleteMy teen isn't all that smiley these days either - I'm glad to see Tommy had such a great time at Disney. Beyond that, and mother to mother, I'm to see YOU had such a great time too.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough not to smile and laugh when you're in the happiest place on Earth. I love that your teenager feels pretty much the same. It's always so fun to go there.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say that. My daughter doesn't like smiling for my blog posts when I ask her to model for me. But when we're at Disney, she's smiling away!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see his smile and laughter caught on camera. Kids are always so happy wheb they're at Disneyland, I can't say that I'm not that happy when I'm there.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful to see happiness on your kids faces! Disney world is amazing to vist, I'm sure you had lot of fun here!
ReplyDeleteDisney definitely has this kind of impact on people. No matter the age, no matter the gender. It's a magical place :)
ReplyDeleteDitto.
ReplyDeleteIf only we could go at the same time! Think of all the smiles!?
Those are some great smiles. Disney is a great place that makes people happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I last visited your blog. I'm glad to see the kids doing well and so happy. We booked our trip for August and although it will likely be hot as ever, I just know we are all going to have a blast! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just so beautiful! I know that those smiles are just so special to your heart, especially if you don't normally get them from him. He really came alive there!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I got such a lump in my throat just reading this. So glad you were able to capture these moments. You should create a photo wall gallery for your son to remember the great time he had.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to feature it on my blog.
Seems like he's having a great time! We will probably go there in September.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. We have Disneyland here, but we really are wanting to make the trek out to Walt Disney World. We do hope to be able to sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteHe does look so happy. Good job, its always a great feeling to see your children smile.
ReplyDeleteAdventure and childhood memories are often enough to bring us our smile back! :) We are 30 and still act like kids when in Disney World. Some of us never grow up!

ReplyDeleteAww! I loved reading this! (I love reading all of your posts!) That hug with Mickey at the end is so heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see your teen smiling, laughing and really enjoying himself at Disney World. We're looking to book a trip within a year or so.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Disney is so magical and even the most stubborn teens and adults attitude can be shifted in a moment once they walk through those doors. So glad he had fun and you got to see him smile again.
ReplyDeleteAw, that's sweet. So glad he had fun. Looks like everybody did.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet smile your son has. Teenage years can be so tough. I am glad to see that he enjoyed himself. Great memories to last forever!
ReplyDeleteAww - I love all of the smiles! My kids are still young, and they have been begging me to take them to Disneyland. I hope they enjoy it as much as your son!
