In addition to the regular text messages and phone calls
coming through my cell phone, I have been receiving text messages. . . or text
questions from friends at Disney. I
enjoy hearing from them as I think of them often and hope they are having a
great time. Each time a question comes
through, I can’t help but think of the “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” game
and that I am their “phone a friend” lifeline.
Happy to help! The
first questions were about Fastpasses.
When to get them? When can you
get another one? Does getting Fastpasses
to meet the characters in Town Square Theater prohibit you from getting another
set of Fastpasses? While Fastpass is
easy to use, it can be complex to explain and even more so via text
message. Yeah, think about it. Could you explain in 160 key strokes or less?
The answers must have helped as the next question was about
meeting specific Disney characters—Phineas and Ferb. This lovable and clever pair can be found at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which is what the texters thought, but wanted to be
sure. Yep, they can only be found at
Hollywood Studios.
When I get a message, I imagine where they might be and what
they might be doing when the message was sent.
For example, one of the questions about Fastpass came to my phone at
7:50 am Central Time. I imagined them
already at the Magic
Kingdom , standing just
inside the gates, waiting for the opening ceremony and the park to open, while
discussing their strategy once the park opened.
The conversation lead to a dilemma and the answer would change their
touring strategy. I replied right
away.
In our delightful age of technology, news and information
flies fast. And, that very same technology
can keep us connected. The past couple
of days, it has transported me to Walt Disney World, just for a brief moment,
but a delightful moment. So, keep the
text messages coming!
Thank you my text a friend!! We worked so many of the Williams' family tips including --having a plan, working the fast passes, and never saying no to a cast member. Will and I found ourselves in a Phinneus and Ferb skit! I even felt confident enough on this visit to leave Baby Rich at the condo with dad one evening and venture out just with my older son. It was very exciting to be able to navigate on my own! Plus I knew I had you in my pocket!
