My family knows that I love Disneyland, but I don't think they know the extent. BC of MW, I have a deeper appreciation for the history of Disneyland and the small details. Yesterday my mom was over when OhanaFamily's RAK arrived. I was SOO excited by the packaging, penmanship, and the cute balloon that she painted. My mom could NOT get over the generosity of This RAK. I went around and showed her what else I received and she was so delighted to see how many lives had been touched. I started to tell her about @SUUZinOC, then decided to show her SUUZ's MW video, Knowing how I tear up EVERY time, I grabbed the tissues. By 2 minutes in she was reaching for the Kleenex, as was I. Then I showed her mine. More tears from both of us. After, she turned to me and said, "WOW! I get it. I now GET why you love Disneyland and how much MW means to you. Thanks so much for sharing this love with me." My mom has never been to Disneyland- I hope to show it to her one day :)
**UPDATE** Our family was not going to be returning to the parks until April, 2013. After talking to Mr about this post...LilChurro, BabyChurro and I are TAKING GRANDMA to DISNEYLAND IN NOVEMBER!! I feel like I won the lottery!!! Thanks SO very much, everyone!! ❤❤❤ *hunts for hotels* - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint

*re-assembling self a-la T2 after being blown away by your awesomeness* it’s a good thing david and i were shooting a wedding yesterday when we read this. our teary faces blended right in with everyone else at the wedding :) we are so so happy for your ohana! david just made those necklaces for a little something fun. we had no idea they would be any part of such an amazing family moment. being at disneyland is awesome. (stipulated). being at disneyland with someone on their 1st visit is pretty rad, but there’s nothing quite like being there with a family member on their 1st visit. it’s a precious thing. sadly, after losing my dad to cancer last year, we will never get another family disney day with him :_( we treasure every trip we got to take with him. but enough of the sad faces. it’s happy time for swiss family churinson! senorita churita, your comments and posts always make us giggle. your tot avi is still our all time fav! hopefully we’ll get to meet you someday. if/when we do, we’ll treat you to an awesome dole whip...no, wait...a turkey leg... nope. what was it? think mcfly, think. oh yeah... a churro! :)
*showers you and your mom with churros* (the warm, snuggly, fresh, disney ones) - OhanaPhoto
1413.9 #56 11:12PM
oh goodness. THAT was hard to read thru my tears. Thank you so much. I wore the necklace to our MW SF meet-up yesterday :) It's just amazing how we never know just how we touch each others lives. thank you, thank you for all these wonderful words and I am so glad that you joined the MW Ohana ❤❤I hope to meet you one day xoxo - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 11:21AM
@handmeachurroimmafaint i need to stop reading these comments! it reminds me of the modern family episode when phil starts crying in the car and haley says, "if you cry then i'm going to cry" then they all started crying. *off to go cry in the car* - OhanaPhoto 1413.9 #56 12:35AM
Oh my, now I teared up😪Please give your mom a huge huge hug for me. Make sure when you bring her to DL you seek me out and I can do it in person! - SUUZinOC
715.1 #140 10:28AM
Oh now that would be awesome to have her meet you - PinkElephants 636.5 #170 10:31AM
I just saw this...well, SORTA. I saw this through my tears AGAIN!! Def do that!! ❤❤❤ - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 10:33AM
Suz plese send me your info. You don't have your DM set up. I am sending you a set of stuff from Aulani because you are so wonderful. :) - DisneyVacationLover 274.8 #780 11:42AM
are you sure, DVL? I can see the tiny blue DM, next to her name, when I click her name :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 11:45AM
Thanks. You are correct. Thats what I get for trying to do stuff on my PC. - DisneyVacationLover 274.8 #780 12:18PM
Miss churro without you I firmly believe this app wouldn't be what it is. You make magic for all of us even when you're not in the parks and I for one am honored to call you a friend. I'm so glad you were able to share this great family with you mom and I hope she gets to experience it from Disneyland one day :) - lostgirl7988
541.3 #208 1:41PM

Thank you for the tissue and churro! Laughter through tears....my favorite emotion. - MrsSchnooks 572.5 #193 2:52PM

"sniff sniff". That's a beautiful story. Just before I read this my daughter (who already LOVES Disneyland) told me I got her addicted to MW. She also gets it now. The goodness is contagious and spreading. Thank you admin for the greatest app. You have enriched sooo many lives. - DisneyGrandma
338.0 #440 9:48AM
My daughter looks at mw with me every day and tells me often that she can't wait until she can join next year. She already picked an awesome user name too. - MamaRoo 344.5 #422 6:23PM
aww. how cute. We'll have the parade and balloon set for when she starts - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 7:40PM
I just got a chance to show her this and now she really can't wait! I love that MW is something we can enjoy together. It's the reason Walt built DL! :) - MamaRoo 344.5 #422 9:32PM
Great story! I really hope you get to enjoy your mom at DL someday. There is something special about taking someone whom you love to DL and watching them experience it for the first time! - 7mouskedoodles
161.1 #2138 9:53AM
So do I. I can't imagine what it's like to take another adult. Kids, we know how they light up, but I would imagine that her inner 8 year old would light up as mine does :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 10:03AM
Addicting totally, kindness abounds (for the most part). HMACIF, i love all ur posts - templeclan
54.8 #3656 9:55AM
That is just amazing. I'm so lucky to live so close to the parks. My mother and my sister's family have APs, and a love of Disney runs in my family. Perhaps a trip to DL with your mother is in your future? It will make that trip extra special. - ScooterMike
1959.8 #35 10:03AM
Thanks :). oh heck yeah! The other night Mr could tell by looking at me that the wheels were spinning. hahaha - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 10:10AM
Something in the works? Hmmm - ScooterMike 1959.8 #35 10:20AM
What an amazing story!! I hope that when my children grow up they tell their kids about all of their amazingg memories as a family. - Ldgsg
19.3 #5120 10:10AM
I bet they will. Installing the love at a young age. We never went to DL as kids. My first trip was when I was 15. - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 10:14AM
I have so many amazing memories as a kid and unfortunately my family has disowned me (long story) but the memories will last forever and I will give anything to keep the memory alive in my children. - Ldgsg 19.3 #5120 10:17AM
I will be taking my mom for her first time in may for her 74 birthday,I know she will love it and stop calling it a carnival.lol - dl811

Thank you for posting this! Because of you I watched both videos (which were great) and found out that Suz used to be a kindergarten teacher in Reno. I am currently teaching kindergarten in Reno (small world)! I loved these videos and it was awesome to hear about how much you both love Disney! I hope you get to share that love with your mom very soon! Okay, time to go wipe up the mascara that is dripping down my face, Thanks again! - preggoprincess
183.1 #1826 11:59AM

It really is. I have seen nothing else like it. thank you :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 6:14PM
What a beautiful story!! You must take your mom some time! For her, getting to experience her first trip, with someone who loves it as much as you do, would be beyond magical for both of you! You could be her personal plaid!😉 - RCmom
2589.4 #20 1:46PM

Exactly how I felt; the excitement of taking someone to Disneyland who's never been there before its like your more excited for them then they are; truly touching story. Im curious to know what video y'all were watching tho; sorry I'm brand new to MW; and I must admit I'm pretty addicted. I didn't think that there were so many people who love Disneyland than me if not MORE in love! Lol :) - kianatony
10.3 #6652 6:50PM
thank you!! Back in May, Admin asked for us to submit a vid, if we wanted to, called My MW Story 2012 (go to search, click, scroll til you see that title in large font, click. There you will see a bunch of videos that were submitted :) Each is unique. Some will make you laugh or cry, but all are wonderful :) - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.1 #42 6:55PM
