We had come down for a four-day trip and it was our second visit and last visit of the trip to Magic Kingdom. It was Sunday, September 27, 2020. The parks were closing early. Magic Kingdom was closing at 7 PM. We dined for the very first time in Cinderella\u2018s castle and it was very special and we had a lot of fun. The park closed right after we finished dinner and the two younger girls spotted The big Mickey Mouse balloons that cost $15 each (some of the balloons actually cost $20 each- I digress)&#8230;So we decided we were going to buy them both a balloon and then within moments the two older girls noticed the balloons and wanted one too. My husband&#8217;s and my reaction was to immediately say \u201coh let\u2019s save the money and get something else you\u2019d appreciate more\u2026\u201d&#8230;.A little bit sad they both agreed and walked onto the ferry. Minutes later I looked at my husband when the girls could not hear me and I said&#8230;&#8221;what if that\u2019s the last time that all four of our girls actually want a balloon&#8221;. He understood it the way I did. They\u2019re growing up so quickly and we were sad at the possbility of our older two daughter&#8217;s (8 and 10) soon not caring about the excitement of a balloon any longer. We instantly wanted to buy them one, but at that point it was too late. We went to Epcot the next day and we couldn\u2019t find a balloon anywhere. Case in point of the story, buy your child the balloon. They are only young once. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c562604 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c562604\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation-768x1024.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-510\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation-1152x1536.webp 1152w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation-1536x2048.webp 1536w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Family-Vacation.webp 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c99b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"18c99b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom-1024x872.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-511\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom-1024x872.webp 1024w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom-300x255.webp 300w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom-768x654.webp 768w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom-1536x1308.webp 1536w, https:\/\/genuineactivist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Magic-Kingdom.webp 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time all four girls wanted a balloon It was during coronavirus and we were leaving Magic Kingdom.
