Trip Report Our Slightly Crazy All For Our Dear Lil’ Emy One Day MK “Worldwind” Trip...!!!!!

I’ve never done a formal TR here, as I generally tend to hang in the Chit Chat Chit Chat thread and do “mini TRs” of our travels (mostly non-Disney) there.
But, I felt (at least to me anyhoo ;)) this silly-fun trip merited a more “proper” TR...!!! :)

Warning, as this first post will be text-heavy...

Background:
Oldest DD called me on a Friday afternoon in mid August and asked...
“Hey dad, ya’ wanna’ go to Disney World for a day?!” My reply... “Seriously?!!!” (We live in Austin, Texas). But, DD had found some crazy-inexpensive airfare on JetBlue.
I was all up for it, of course, as we did many spur-of-the-moment road trips with our kiddos when they were younger, but, nothin’ on the scale of this “air trip”... oldest DD was kickin’ it up a notch...or two...or more...!!!!! :hilarious:
The original plan was for all 7 of us to go...
Oldest DD, SonIL, granddaughter (Emory - “Emy” in the title), DWifey, DS, youngest DD, and myself.
Unfortunately, I was the only other family member (besides the first 3 mentioned) that could make it schedule-wise.
The original trip date was scheduled for 9/3, but good ol’ Dorian jacked that up flight-wise...!!!!! :facepalm::bored::hilarious:;):)
No worries, as we had a family cruise (not Disney ;)) that we were all able to make from 10/5-10/12, and we simply rescheduled the “Worldwind” trip for 10/29...!!! :)
It was a beyond amazing quick trip...!!!!!!! :joyfull:
But, even though it was such a short trip, I still have a ton of pics and videos I need to go through...seems like more than if it would have actually been a week-long trip...!!!!! :hilarious:

OK, a quick intro to us 24 hour-ish turnaround, half-ish away across the country, WDW trip silly geese...!!! :D;):)

SonIL (Daniel), Oldest DD (Megan), Granddaughter (Emory - “Emy”), and my ol’ darn self (Steve - “Pappy”)...!!! :)

That pic was taken as we were were exiting the park, and Emy looks a bit tuckered, but, I assure y’all she had a most amazingly Magical first WDW visit...!!!!!!! :happy:

OK gang, on that note I’m out for now, but, I’ll try to keep this TR updated on a timely basis...after all it was only one day...but, boy howdy, it was one incredibly AWESOME Magical day...!!!!!!! :joyfull::inlove::happy:

I remember a very old phone that my grandmother had, and it was so worn out, that the rotary dial numbers were "off" (didn't line up accurately with the numbers underneath). So it was a fun guessing game . . . is this a 1 or a 2 that I just tried to dial?! :hilarious: (And heaven forbid she ever get a new phone -- "wasteful" she said! I think she was also the last person on the planet to convert to touch tone -- I think the phone company told her she had to finally do that.) :p

:hilarious:
My grandparents on my pops side never even had a phone out on their farm...!!! :cyclops:;):)
My moms folks had a phone out on their farm, but, it was a party line...IIRC, their ring was 3 short and 1 long...!!!!! :hilarious:
Does anyone here remember ever usin' a phone on a party line...?!!! :geek:

OMG!! Heart melting time seeing such a joyful Emy on her carousel horse!!! :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Now, as for the Green Acres partyline telephone pictures -- I laughed so hard over that! I had forgotten about those images from the show. :hilarious: Hilarious!!

Thank you so very much, Minnie...!!!:)
So glad I decided to do this report...I can’t wait ‘til Emy’s old enough to read it...or, maybe I can...don’t want time to fly too fast, and all...?!!! 🤔😁😉

:hilarious:
Besides my moms folks, every time I think of a party line, those scenes from Green Acres come to mind...!!!!!:hilarious:
We used to watch all those silly, related, shows back in the day...
The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres...!!! :)

"Flyin" Emy! :hilarious:

Hahaaa...!!!!! :hilarious:
Emy’s a good flyer...
She’s already been on 6 different plane flights and, as I mentioned towards the beginning of the thread, she even slept straight through the fun turbu-fest (arguably, but, unofficially, her first Disney-ish related attraction :D:hilarious:;)) we had on our flight out to WDW...!!! :)
Maybe, she’ll become a pilot someday...?!!!!! ;):happy::)
