The handsome compensations and benefits we are receiving as overseas workers are undoubtedly good enough to tide us with our family expenditures and to top it all, we have the luxury to go for well planned vacation trips to our hearts desire.  We’ve been on our company’s payroll for more than 2 decades and we believe that we deserved to be rewarded for all our efforts and sacrifices. And the latest family bonding time that we had was an exciting and unforgettable Walt Disney tours!. We make it a point that whatever blessings that we are enjoying are to be shared to our extended families as well, so everytime we planned for private tours almost everybody are considered while we our doing our budget  for the trip. Last year, the “chosen ones” received free tickets and hotel accommodation sponsorship from us but with stern instructions that they need to provide their own pocket and shopping monies.

part of the group…. family bonding time

It was the biggest family group trip we had so far… 15 in all  (Mom, 2 sisters, 1 brod, 1 brother in law, 3 nieces, 2 nephews and my family of 5).  You could just imagine how hard to assemble them in one place and head counting should be done first so nobody will be “home alone”.  Our  main itinerary last Christmas holidays was the Disneyland park adventure and the children adored the place, untiringly going from one ride to another while we adults patiently kept guard.   We practically became their “baggers and hangers because everytime they sighted an interesting ride, they excitedly tossed their bags and hanged their heavy coats on us. Oh well, we don’t mind really as long as they are enjoying, besides I had to accompany my 76 years old mom on the bench too tired to walk any further but we too enjoyed seeing them from afar really having a real good time!

leap of joy

not to be outdone… jump shot adult style

The grand parade of Disney characters was a sight and the experience is to treasure forever!    Towards the end of the day, though Mom was kinda tired , it was surprising that she somewhat got energized when Goofy, Mickey and Minnie plus Winnie the Pooh emerged and we adults were among those who excitedly lined up for photo opportunity with them.  You bet.. Mom was obviously happy! (see her pic with Goofy below!)

feeling young again!

The grand fireworks displayed which we waited patiently wrapped up our Disney adventure.  Everything about Disney is magical! And we don’t have any second thoughts whatsoever of  coming back for another awesome  Walt Disney World Resort tour (with another set of family members, I guess).   It is really true that the moment may be temporary but the memories are forever!

awesome… magnificent.. magical fireworks display!

It inspires us more to work and earn and share our blessings.  This early, another Disney tour is on the planning board…

Exciting!!!
