IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Photos and text from wire services began planning the trip without letting me know,” Heather Ensminger said.

She ultimately was tipped off by her credit card company after Clark used points to pay for part of the trip.

The Ensmingers love all things Disney, and even though they live in Tennessee, they are annual passholders to Disney World. At one time, they were visiting the theme park resort six times in a year.

After an evening flight to Orlando, the couple arrived at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Wednesday at 6:15 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, and were the first people let into the park when it opened for breakfast at 7 a.m.

About two hours later, they went to Epcot, and by 10:30 a.m. they were at the Magic Kingdom where they drank apple cider at Gaston’s Tavern. Following lunch at Animal Kingdom, they made it to Orlando International Airport by midafternoon.

The flight was the worst part. To save money, they both sat in middle seats, five rows apart. Clark, who’s about the size of an NBA player, endured a tight squeeze as his knees hit the seat in front.

The plane touched down at Los Angeles International Airport about 6:45 p.m., Pacific Daylight Time, and, after navigating rush hour traffic, they were at Disney California Adventure Park more than an hour later.
