A/N: Hey everyone! I'm so excited to start this fic. I love the idea of the Doctor and Rose visiting Disney (I'm a MASSIVE Disnerd), and I'm glad I'm finally writing it. This takes place in a universe where Rose and the Doctor never got separated at the Battle of Canary Warf, Pete stayed in our universe, and the Doctor and Rose officially became a couple. Unbeta'd, so all mistakes are mine. Reviews are more than welcome! Thanks, and enjoy the Chapter 1!

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or any of the related characters. I also don't own Disney World, unfortunately.


"Disney World? As in Disney World, on Earth, in Florida, in the present?" Rose asked, surprised by his suggestion. For all of the traveling they had done, they never really stayed on Earth in the present much, so she was taken a bit by surprise by his suggestion for their 'anniversary' trip. It wasn't their real anniversary, but the anniversary of the day he took her hand and said 'run'. ("Because, really, Rose, we've always been a couple. Why should be celebrate that becoming official?")

"Yep! Happiest Place on Earth! Well, technically, Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth officially, and Disney World is the Most Magical, but Disney World has more annual attendants and so therefor has more 'happy'. Why, not a good choice? You seem surprised, do you want to go somewhere else?"

"No, I just can't believe we're going somewhere so close to home. I've never been to Disney World before, couldn't afford it growing up," Rose stated, trying to conceal her over-enthusiasm. Ever since she and the Doctor had made their relationship 'official', he had been trying his best to take her to the most extravagant places he knew, gondola rides in Venice in the Renaissance, dinner on the moon in the 68th century, the triple sunset festival of Wenterval-11, but nothing compared to the giddy, childlike feeling she got knowing that she was going to a place she dreamed of going since she was a little girl. "So, when are we going?

"As soon as you pack! I'm going to give you the whole experience! Staying on property, renting a car, getting frustrated at slow-walking tourists, you name it! You go get your bags packed up, I'm gonna pop back a few months to make some reservations and then we'll be on our way." He proceeded to make his way around the console, flipping switches and whacking buttons with his mallet, a manic grin on his face. "Make sure you pack lots of sunscreen, I'm making the reservation for mid-July. It's not Walt Disney World if we're not roasting and surrounded by sweaty crowds!" He winked at her with a smirk before picking up the TARDIS phone and placing a call to the Walt Disney World reservation line.


'Well that should about cover it,' Rose thought as she looked over the neat piles of clothing and toiletries on her and the Doctor's bed. She packed enough for a little over a week, not quite sure how long the Doctor intended on staying. Walking over to the closet to grab out her duffle, she heard the door open. "All done?"

"Yep! We're all set as far as reservations go! Need any help packing?"

"No, I think I got everything covered. Will we be staying longer then a week?"

"No, the reservation's only for 8 nights." He looked down at the casual clothing Rose packed. "That's what you're bringing?" She gave him a small smack on the arm. "Ow! Sorry, was I being rude?" She nodded. "Sorry, it's just, you might want to pack a few nice sun dresses and a formal dress or two."

"We're just going to a theme park. Why would I get dressed up?" Rose questioned, not quite sure why she would need anything other then a few t-shirts and shorts.

"It's not just a them park, Rose, it's Walt Disney World," he replied, looking scandalized, "Besides, those outfits are perfect for the parks, but we do have quite a few dinner reservations that you may like to dress up for. Not that you wouldn't look stunning in whatever you wear, but I know how you love to dress up for things like that."

"Alright, can you pack up this while I go get some dresses?" Rose turned back to the closet, scanning for something appropriate. She settled on a few floral sundresses and two cocktail dresses, handing them to the Doctor to put in a garment bag. "Would these work?"

"Molto Benne, great choices." He proceeded to walk over the closet and pull out several nearly identical suits, some in brown and some in blue.

"You're not seriously going to wear you're suits every day? You're going to roast like that!"

"Nah, I'll be fine. Superior Time Lord biology, remember?" he said with a wink. "Besides, I have several novelty Disney ties that have been waiting to be worn, and now's the perfect opportunity to try them out!" He walked over to his tie rack, picking up several brightly colored ties with various characters and patterns on them. "What do you think?" he asked, holding them up.

"Very you, Doctor," she laughed, placing a kiss on his cheek. He hummed happily, packing the ties away. "I think that just about covers clothing. Now, checklist for toiletries?"

"Toothbrushes?"

"Check"

"Toothpaste?"

"Check"

"Mouthwash?"

"Check"

"Floss?"

"We never remember to floss anyway…"

"Good point. Sunscreen?"

"Check. Gotta protect your freckly, fair baby skin Doctor," she teased.

"Oi, I'll have you know my freckles are very manly! And I don't have baby skin!" he replied, offended that she would suggest that he would need protecting from some silly earth sun.

"That's not what I remember from you whining after the sunburn you got after Australia last year. What else?"

"I don't whine! Um, shampoo? Conditioner? Soap?"

"Check, check, check."

"Ok, we don't really need it. The hotels in Disney have the best smelling soap I've ever used. Tastes better then yours, too. Just nice to have extra," he stated.

"Maybe my soap tastes bad because it's not meant to be eaten," she commented.

"Then they shouldn't make it smell like strawberry. Did you pack first aid supplies?"

"Yep. And a few medicines just in case."

"Excellent! Then I think we're good to go! Now, get dressed in something park appropriate, while I go change my tie."


Rose emerged from the bathroom ten minutes later, wearing a light blue top and a pair of denim shorts, her hair in two braids. She had her signature hoop earrings on, and her eyelashes were coated in a think layer of mascara.

"You look nice!" the Doctor exclaimed, looking her over.

"Thanks! Nice tie," she added, looking at his Andy Warhol Mickey Mouse tie.

"Thanks. Now," he said, extending his arm for her to take, "Shall we?" He gestured towards the console room. She nodded, giving him a bright grin. "Allons-y!"

The Doctor landed the TARDIS in a closet at the Orlando International Airport, right by the baggage claim. Stepping out of the closet, the Doctor took a deep breath, manic grin on his face.


"Here we are! Orlando, Florida, Saturday the 18th of July, 2009, 6:30 AM. Just smell that humid Floridian air! It's gonna rain today. Well, it rains nearly every day, right around four o'clock, for about twenty minutes. It's amazing how reliable it is. One minute, it's all sunshine and blistering heat, the next you're soaked, waiting on line for Splash Mountain, wondering why you're even still going on Splash Mountain anymore." He took Rose's hand in his, looking down at her with a massive smile on his face. "What?" he asked when he noticed her giggling at him.

"Nothing, s'just, I think you may be more excited then I've ever seen you, and that's saying something."

"Well, Disney World is in my Top Ten places in the Universe, and I'm here with my favorite person in the Universe. How could I not be?"

They made their way through the crowd until they reached the car rentals. The Doctor walked up to the disinterested looking young woman holding a Cosmo magazine at the Hertz kiosk.

"Hello. Dr. John Tyler and Rose Tyler. I reserved a car for us."

"May I see a valid driver's license?" the young woman asked, not looking up from the magazine.

The Doctor reached into his coat pockets. He pulled out the psychic paper, handing it to the woman. "Here you are."

The woman, Carrie, as her nametag read, glanced up from her magazine to examine the paper. She then picked up the phone sitting on her desk, speaking into the receiver with a monotone voice. "Ryan, I got two people form England here. What do I do? ...Yes they have a valid license …yeah they reserved the car …but they drive on the wrong side of the road …listen, this is too hard, can you come down here? …well, I'm gonna go on my lunch break now, so you gotta come down here …ok, see you in a minute." The woman put the phone back on the receiver and returned to reading her magazine, not acknowledging Rose or the Doctor at all.

"Um, excuse me? The car?" the Doctor asked, looking a little irritated.

"Sorry, I'm on my lunch break," replied Carrie, not taking her eyes off of the magazine.

The Doctor and Rose glanced at each other, both trying to remain civil with Carrie. After a few minutes, a cheerful looking man who looked to be in his mid fifties approached them. "Hi, are you to the English couple?" Rose and the Doctor nodded. "Sorry about my niece Carrie, she's new. My sister made me give her the job. Carrie, please take your break elsewhere," he added, and Carrie walked away with a bored look on her face. "Alright," he said, moving to behind the counter, "May I see your license?" The Doctor handed him the psychic paper. "Alright, perfect. Now if you could just sign for the car, we'll be in business," he stated with a smile.

The Doctor looked over the yellow-colored contract, taking his brainy specs out to do a full read. Rose rolled her eyes, knowing that he really didn't care what the contract said, nor did he need the glasses to read it, he just liked to put on a show. He made a few "mhm"s and "ahh"s before signing the contract and handing it back.

"Alright, excellent!" said the man. "I see you've got the… ah, yes the BMW 650i Convertible. Excellent choice."

Rose's eyes widened at the Doctor's choice of car. "Yep! Brilliant car, perfect for driving top-down on I-4," the Doctor winked.

The man handed them the key's after he took down they're credit information, giving them a big smile. "Hope you to have an excellent week!"

"Thank you!" Rose smiled before she and the Doctor made their way to the shiny black car. "Nice choice Doctor."

"Well, it's our anniversary, gotta celebrate in style, don't we?" he answered, opening the door on Rose's side for her. Shutting the door, he walked over to the driver's side.

"Do you even know how to drive, Doctor?" Rose teased watching him adjust the mirrors, his face contorting in concentration.

"Of course! I'll have you know I used to have the most beautiful yellow car on earth. Her name was Bessie and she was brilliant!"

"Yeah, but that was what? Six, seven regenerations ago? How to I know you haven't lost your driving skills in your old age?"

"I'm not that old! Just watch me Rose Tyler, I'm going to handle her like a dream," he exclaimed.


When they reached the "Welcome to Walt Disney World" gateway, Rose felt as though she were six years old again. She turned towards the Doctor, enormous grin plastered on her face. "I can't believe I'm actually here. Do you think we could take Tony and mum and dad sometime?"

"Of course! But I wanted to show you first. What do you think so far?"

"Well, I'm loving the weather. And it's a lot bigger than I thought. How many miles?"

"Sixty-Six square miles, roughly. Four theme parks, two water parks, over twenty hotels, a sports complex, an entertainment and shopping district, multiple golf courses, both mini and normal, and hundreds restaurants, both inside and outside the parks. We won't be able to do it all this trip, but we can come back."

"It's amazing! What hotel are we staying at?" Rose asked, overwhelmed by the size of it all.

"We'll be staying at Disney's Polynesian Resort. It's a lot of fun. There's a pool with a volcano water slide, and a beach, and a marina with boats we can rent. Oh, and lots of little shops! I love the little shops." He approached the gate for the Magic Kingdom parking lot. "The hotel is on the Monorail route, so it's close to the Magic Kingdom entrance," he explained. He pulled up to the woman in the booth. "Hi, we're checking in to the Polynesian today."

"Alright, just follow the signs, it will be on your right. Have a magical day!" the woman said with a warm smile.

"You too!" The Doctor said, and Rose beamed.

"They actually say it then? The 'Have a magical day' thing? That's amazing!"

The Doctor nodded, his enthusiasm shining in his eyes. "Everyone here's just as friendly as the stereotype says. It's brilliant."

They Drove in companionable silence for a few minutes as Rose took everything in. The Monorail zoomed overhead and several buses full of people drove past as they made their way to the hotel. When they finally reached the hotel, the Doctor greeted the security officer sitting in the booth. "Hello!"

"Hi! How can I help y'all today?" the man asked in a pleasant southern drawl. He had a jolly, round face with a kind smile, just the sort of security guard you'd expect to see working at Disney World.

"We're just checking in!" the Doctor beamed.

"Alright, and what's the reservation name under?"

"Tyler."

"Alright. May I see some I.D.?"

The Doctor pulled out the psychic paper, handing it to the kind-faced officer.

The officer looked at the paper with a smile. "Everything looks good. Here's your parking pass," he said as he handed back the psychic paper and a piece of paper with a barcode and the check in and check out dates. "Y'all just put that in the window of your car and you get free parking at any of the parks. Have a magical day, y'all!"

"Thank you!" The Doctor put the paper in the windshield before driving through the gate into the resort grounds.

Rose gasped at the sight of it. It was amazing. There were various tropical plants on every inch of ground. Palm trees and hibiscuses greeted them as they pulled up to the entrance of the main building.

A young bellhop in a blue Hawaiian shirt who looked to be in his early twenties greeted them. His tag said his name was Andre and he was a student at Florida State University. "Aloha! Welcome to the Polynesian Resort! Would you like some help with your bags?"

"Yes please," the Doctor answered, full of enthusiasm. He popped the trunk of the car and handed Rose the keys. "Rose, could you please ask to have the car parked? The valet is right there." He pointed over to a kiosk where a group of young women and men were waiting to greet guests.

"Sure thing." She walked over and was greeted by a petite woman, whose tag said her name was Alejandra.

"Aloha! Welcome to the Polynesian resort, how may I help you?"

"Hi, I was wondering if I could get my car valet parked?"

"Sure thing! I'll just need a name for the car and the keys."

"Tyler, and here you go," Rose said as she handed the woman the keys with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Tyler. Now take this," Alejandra handed her a small card with a number and barcode on it, "and just give it to whoever helps you at check in and you'll be good to go!"

"Thank you!" Rose grinned at the woman, taking the card.

"No problem! Have a magical day!"

"You too!" Rose walked back over to the Doctor, who was tipping Andre gratuitously.

"Ready to go?" the Doctor asked.

"Yep!"

The two walked hand in hand to the doors of the building. Rose's jaw dropped at the interior of the hotel. It was decorated with various tropical-themed furniture pieces, gorgeous florals gracing the fabric. In the center of the lobby there was a beautiful tropical garden with exotic flowers and trees, and waterfall in the middle.

They were greeted bye a young lady carrying leis. "Aloha, welcome to the Polynesian!" She handed them a lei and continued to greet guests as they entered.

"What time is it, Rose?" the Doctor asked, smiling at her reaction to the lobby.

She checked her phone. "8:17 A.M."

"Molto Benne, right on schedule!"

Rose and the Doctor made their way over to the front desk, where a man in his early thirties, called Daniel, according to his tag, helped them. "Aloha! Welcome to Disney's Polynesian Resort. How may I help you today?"

"Hello! We were just checking in."

"Alright. Name?"

"John Tyler."

Daniel typed on his computer before smiling up at them. "Ah, here you are, John and Rose Tyler. You'll be staying in room 3516, which is located in the 'Hawaii' building. You'll have an excellent view of Cinderella Castle, which means you'll have a fireworks view at night." Rose smiled even wider at that. "And it says here you'll be celebrating an anniversary while you're here, is that correct?"

"Yep!" replied the Doctor, voice brimming with excitement.

"Well congratulations, you two. If there's anything we can do to make your celebration more magical, please feel free to let us know. Here are your Keys to the World," he said, handing them an envelope containing two blue cards with their names on them. "They're your room keys, as well as your park tickets. It says you purchased a 9-day Magic Your Way ticket with Park Hopper and Water Parks & More Fun, correct?"

"Yessir!"

"Excellent. Both of the keys have charging privileges, so you can charge anything in the parks and resorts to your room. You can also have any of your in-park purchases delivered here for no additional cost. Your room will be ready at around 2:00 PM, but your tickets work immediately, as well as charging privileges. All of your luggage can be kept here while you're at the parks, and can be brought up to your room for you at no additional cost. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Oh! Yeah, I forgot to give you this," Rose said, handing the man the valet parking card.

"Ah, yes. I'll add that to your room. Will that be all?"

"Yes, thank you!" replied the Doctor, giving the man his brightest smile.

"Alright! We hope you have a magical stay!"

"Thank you, Daniel!" The Doctor took Rose's hand and walked toward the stairs. "So, what do you say, Magic Kingdom? We'll be right on time for opening!"

"Alright!" Rose squeezed his hand as they made their way up the stairs to the second level of the lobby. "Oh, I'm so excited! I never dreamed I'd be here, and now here I am! It's absolutely brilliant!"

"Oh, Rose Tyler, you haven't seen anything yet." They made their way to the Monorail stop, smiling like children. When the Monorail pulled up, Rose felt her heart flutter a bit. The Doctor kissed her cheek before getting on board. "Ready, Rose? Allons-y!"
