I'm 25 but such a big kid at heart. I have been OBSESSED with Disney ever since I was old enough to see a movie. I've worked there and still have relatives that work there. My grandfather always had us stand in this one spot at the Magic Kingdom so we could see the fireworks perfectly (and it works everytime!)
On a Friday after work, my boyfriend (now fiance) Michael, came over and told me to hurry up, we were going to Disney World that night! We live in Tampa, which is an hour and a half away, so I got dressed as fast as I could and as we headed there, thunderstorms were threatening. Rain or shine, I love Disney World so it doesn't really matter to me but I could see that Michael was getting pretty nervous. When we got there it was already after 7 so we rode a couple of rides while it poured but by the time we were done, it had cleared up and a lot of the crowds had left. We waited for the fireworks and Michael insisted that we go to that spot that I go to every time I watch the fireworks there. If you've never seen MK's fireworks show Wishes it's all about making your wishes come true and it's narrated by Jiminy Cricket. At one point, Jiminy said, "Wishes can come true, if you believe in them with all your heart." Michael found that to be the perfect moment to ask quietly in my ear if I would marry him.
We had an employee take a picture after it happened to reenact it:) Although he didn't get down on one knee when it actually happened because the ground was wet lol!
