When we entered this time around, they confirmed and took our tickets for the Very Merry Christmas and gave us wrist bands for the event. By not forcing everyone out beforehand and allowing people in early meant that where a vast number of people hanging around to watch the parade and the Christmas version of Wishes...all without wristbands, including the family to my right! It really is no wonder that we didn't get very good seats for the parade the other night.
Unfortunately my parents are currently at the airport and aren't able to enjoy these prime seats. When we said goodbye to them this afternoon, I began to cry. I've become horrible at saying goodbye. The thought that I'll never see them again enters my mind before I can stop and I become a blubbering mess. Adding to that sadness today was the knowledge that they wanted to stay.
I'm grateful my father is a full time, non-temp employee at a decent company but they only give him 10 days off a year, including sick time. That's pretty low for what he does. Because he worked for a year as a temp without a single day off, he took a couple of days off in July when he was hired full time. Unfortunately he does have the time available to take off to stay longer at Disney. It is such a shame since I know how hard he works and he deserves it. There's a part of me that wonders what I did to be able to stay here longer.
I feel like both my mom and dad deserve it way more than I do. Okay, I'm going to get back to watching small children enjoy themselves. Oh and they just came by to make sure everyone has wristbands! A few people had to leave. Yay for more space! Yeah!
