Your final wrap-up is so wonderful and totally came across as you were writing up each day of the trip. I hear so often that parents either see how much their children have grown and changed at WDW or they feel that WDW helped their children to reach certain milestones. Something about the atmosphere at WDW feels so safe and I guess children of every description can feel that and are freed to try new things and grow. Even if "all" you experienced was a happy time together that's magic enough, but so often there's so much more!

Thank you so much! I'm glad my thoughts were clear and not rambling. I have a tendency to ramble. I was a truly incredible trip!

I look forward to hearing all about your next trip when the time comes.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed following us along on this trip! I really enjoyed sharing with everyone and will be doing this again the next time we go.

I'm so glad that the magic of Disney has helped make traveling a possibility for your family! I can't wait to hear about your next trip, whenever it is! Thanks for sharing this one with us.

Thanks! I love that shirt too! I got it at the World of Disney store in DTD. Thanks for following us on our adventure!

I don't usually get to do that so by the time I get to the end of my TR, final thoughts are gone. Yours are great! so much for sharing your adventures with us! You have two very special kids, and I loved seeing Disney through their eyes.

Thanks Cam! Thanks for the compliment on the final thoughts! I tend to go round and round in circles. Thank you so much for following me on our adventure! I am really glad you enjoyed it and I have to agree that I do have two pretty special kids.

Thanks so much!

Sometimes to learn what we can do we have to try what we think we cannot do. And now that you know what Selah can handle you've got a whole lot more world to explore with her. Both at WDW and outside of the Disney bubble.

That's right! Thanks so much for following us on our adventure!

Your final thoughts were beautifully written. Even though I've really only gotten to know you and your family over the course of this TR, I have enjoyed seeing how Asher and Selah each experienced Disney World in their own special ways and seeing you beam with pride over how they exceeded your expectations. You have a really lovely family, and I'm so happy to hear that this Disney trip has opened some additional options for you in terms of family travel.

Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!

I love that shirt! I get the most compliments on it...once people realize what it is.

Thanks so much for following along! I have enjoyed doing this TR getting to know everyone a little through it!

I think it's great that WDW opened doors for your family, and you're now able to go to do various things as a family. :_

Thank you for sharing your journey with us all, I will be around for the next trip!

Thanks so much for following us on our adventure! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to sharing the next one with you all!

Thanks so much for following us on our adventure! You are so right about that and I'm glad we took that chance too!

Your final thoughts are inspiring, I am glad that your Disney experience with Selah turned out to be a positive one for you and your family and I hope each future vacation is just as wonderful.

I didn't know they had adult stuff in there either until Jamie saw those pj's. I love them! Wish I had another pair!

Thank you so much!

Love the final thoughts. You like to do things bass-ackwards (as my dad used to say). I don't think I would have taken my kids on a big expensive trip to WDW first. I would have done the mountains and family and then if all went well then spent the money on Disney. But I'm so glad it all worked out for you and that this trip helped open the travel doors for your family.

Thanks for sharing

I know it seem like we did things backwards for the trips but with the Disney trip we were really only disrupting ourselves and strangers that we would never see again. I was really more worried about staying at my grandparents house in Kansas than I had been about the Disney trip because I didn't want Selah to be too loud for them. I know that if we had not first gone to Disney and seen how well she did, the Kansas trip (at least the part leading up to it) would have made me really nervous.

Thanks for reading and for your kind words of encouragement!

Ok, it's been over a year since you took this trip and I've only read about your first MK day, but I absolutely HAD to leave a comment about how awesome your TR is! I have strep throat right now, so I've been reading a ton of TRs to distract myself. Selah's reaction to meeting Mickey and Minnie made my heart melt. It's also so cool that she loved so many of the rides too! Asher also seems like a really cool kid. A nine year old boy who is patient with his little sister (special needs or not) can be rare! I'm impressed that he was willing to try things he was nervous about. There would be no way you could have gotten me on Splash Mountain when I was nine!
