Creator's Key Takeaways
We all would prefer to be on a Disney cruise ship compared to just about any other kind of vacation.
She is a 2E kiddo, which means twice exceptional. And so she's autistic as well as gifted.
We try and get a muster drill station that's indoors so that we don't have that the weather contingent or weather conditions to deal with.
She loves the kids club and I'm very thankful for it.
