Author's Note: This story is dedicated with love and gratitude to Andrea (iloveromance). Not only is this an early birthday present, but her own story "The Happiest Place on Earth" planted the seed for it. Having been to Walt Disney World several times, I thought it would be fun to use some of my experiences to write a story about N/D taking David there. I hope you enjoy this, Andrea! *Hugs*

Daphne loved how excited David was. When her son was younger, he'd watched "educational" shows on PBS, such as Sesame Street, and a few others. Niles had been so proud when he realized his son was already learning numbers and letters, before he'd ever set foot in a classroom. But somehow, David had discovered the Disney channel, and now the four-year-old was obsessed. Daphne was grateful that the shows entertained him, thus allowing her to do chores in peace. But, privately, she wondered why a network that bore the name of the man who'd created Mickey Mouse seemed to air nothing but TV shows starring various tween celebrities.

But David didn't care. He was currently watching a cartoon. "Look, Mommy, Mickey Mouse!"

A smile came on Daphne's face. OK, so maybe Disney's pre-school programming wasn't half-bad. Though the channel did not air commercials the way most other networks did, they spent a lot of time promoting their own shows and such. Right now, they were showing off some of the latest attractions at Walt Disney World. David watched, mesmerized, as sights from the famous theme park flashed on the screen. Daphne had to admit she liked it, too. After all, it was called the Happiest Place on Earth. Just then, the famous cartoon mouse addressed his young audience. "Hey, kids, you can come meet me and all my pals in person at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida!"

"Wow!" David exclaimed. He couldn't believe it. Mickey, and Goofy, and all of the others were right there, hugging kids just like him. "Can we go there, Mommy?"

Daphne's heart melted when her son turned to her. She could see the enthusiasm on his face, and she wanted so much to say yes. But she knew she couldn't give him an answer like that right now. "Well, let's see what your father says when he comes home."

"He'll say yes, 'cause he loves us!" David said immediately.

Once again, Daphne couldn't help smiling. She loved the fact that David had no doubts about how much he was loved. There were definitely times when her son could be a handful, but, deep in her heart, Daphne knew she wouldn't want him any other way.

That afternoon, Niles prepared to enter the apartment. It had been a long day, and he wanted nothing more than to relax with the two people he loved most in the world. He opened the door, anxious to see Daphne's beautiful face. But before he could even register her presence, he was nearly knocked over.

"Daddy!" David ran to his father at top speed, hugging his leg tightly.

Niles didn't want to yell at his son, so he merely looked pleadingly at Daphne.

"David, you have to calm down. Daddy just walked in the door. I know you're glad to see him, but why don't you go play in your room while we talk for a moment?"

"But -" David sputtered. He looked on the verge of tears.

Daphne hated seeing her son so upset, especially when he'd been so happy before. "Please, David? Just for a moment?"

"Okay," he said with a sigh.

Once their son was out of the room, Daphne kissed her husband. "I'm sorry about that. He saw a commercial today for Disney World, and he wants to go there. I told him we'd see what you said."

This was the last thing Niles had expected. He wasn't sure what to say. But David was a good boy. He didn't often ask for things. Suddenly, he had a flashback to his own childhood.

When he was David's age, he and Frasier wanted to travel to Portland to see a famous opera singer perform. They begged their father, but of course, Martin wanted nothing to do with any type of opera, and so he'd said no. He vividly recalled his disappointment, how he'd felt cheated. He couldn't let his son grow up with memories like that. Not when he had an opportunity give David memories of a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
