This week we're visiting with Marc & Anita Anderson, two great people & friends of mine who I've had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now. They've generously offered to share a bit about themselves, so take it away Marc & Anita!
Introduce yourselves to our readers.
We are from Derby, Kansas. Both elementary school teachers.
Tell us a bit about yourselves.
As for hobbies, we love researching Disney and staying current on all happenings in the parks and being up to date with DVC [Disney Vacation Club] news. We are Disney Vacation Club members and own at four of the different properties. We have four children, Baylor 15 is the only one currently living at home as the rest are grown and on their own. We have four grandchildren and have taken them all to WDW [Walt Disney World] with the exception of Preslee who is just a month and a half old.
What is your favorite time of year to visit the Disney parks?
Typically we go tour times a year so we are fortunate to experience the changing seasons of Disney. As much as I love Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and Christmas in the parks, my favorite time to go is spring. I just adore Epcot's Flower and Garden Festival. There is something about seeing all of the parks with their spring flowers planted that lets me know that warmer weather is around the corner back home.
Tell us a story about one of your favorite memories from your visits to Disney.
It has to be from our last trip. My husband has such a love for the Evil Queen from Snow White that I had a costume made for our oldest granddaughter, to wear to the Halloween party. We stood in line during the mix and mingle party to have her picture made with the Evil Queen and it was beginning to look like we were going to run out of time before the characters were going to be going in. BUT just before they were to go, we were up. The Queen saw Harper, as you know they never break character, but when she saw this five year old girl dressed like her, she broke into the smallest of smiles and quickly caught herself, went back into character and had quite the chat with her small look alike. She taught her how to properly hold "the apple" and they posed for some photos. She even told her "do not smile." This was Disney magic indeed!
If you had a friend visiting a Disney park for the first time, what tip(s) would you give them?
When setting up your FastPass+, do not waste those passes on early morning rides. Get to the park early and ride. Use your FastPass+ for later in the day, parades or firework seating. You can still get so much done by just arriving early and always have a plan! Never go without doing your homework...Yes, I know, I am a teacher.
Thanks again, Marc & Anita! Tune in next Sunday when we visit with another Disney friend - in the meantime, have a great Sunday night!
