I procrastinated and procrastinated and finally made a video to record my thoughts of this unique experience. Spoil alert, we didn't get in, but it was magical and inspiring, and I had a lot to share. Hope you'll enjoy! Let me know what you think also! Stay connected!

A lot of friends helped and supported us on this journey. Thank you guys & ladies all!
