Private Show
Chris and Sammie stood on a secret balcony in Disney World watching as fireworks went off around Cinderella’s Castle. She had always loved coming to the park, especially as a child, but never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined the secrets that were within the park.
Chris’s contract with Marvel, and thus Disney, had opened a lot of the secret doors at Disneyland and Disney World. It wasn’t something they took advantage of often, especially since they usually came with the whole family. But in quiet trips like this where it was just the two of them, they let their inner nerdiness out and spent the day not on rides but on behind the scenes tours.
Despite never needing a reason to let out their inner children, they’d come to Disney World to celebrate her birthday. Along with the behind the scenes look at some of their favorite attractions, they’d eaten dinner at her favorite Disney Park restaurant and then she’d gotten the surprise of a lifetime.
Chris had made her put on a blindfold and a pair of headphones with music from The Lion King coming from them then had lead her to a secret location, which had turned out to be the hidden suite in Cinderella’s Castle. The fact that they were staying in the exclusive (and typically booked room) told her that this whole trip hadn’t been the “spur of the moment” trip he’d claimed just days before.
They had been limited in their time to “explore the suite” aka testing out one of the beds due to the impending fireworks show. They’d finished with just enough time to redress before one of the Disney Cast Members arrived to take them to another secret location for a private viewing of the famous firework show.
The cast member led them to a top secret location via secret tunnels and back stairs and brought them out onto a balcony that had a perfect view of the castle, but was blocked on the other three sides making it impossible for them to determine where they were. Not that they didn’t try, because they spent several minutes leading up to the start of the show arguing over their location.
Their argument came to a stop as the first fireworks lit up the sky and music filled the air. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close as they watched from their perfect vantage point.
As the show neared its end, the cast member returned and offered to take a photo of the two of them. Sammie hand her phone over and they turned their back to the show for a moment and smiled at the camera. After getting the phone back, Sammie nodded as she smiled at the perfect picture of herself, Chris and Cinderella’s Castle.
Sammie leaned against Chris as the last fireworks lit up the sky. She would always remember this birthday. The Disney perks were obviously part of the reason, but the man next to her, the love of her life, was the real reason this birthday would be memorable.
