Disney Queen at 91
Walt Disney World is for all ages, it doesn’t matter how old you are, as long as you’re young at heart you’ll have fun. Mary Berardi, a 91 “young at heart” woman is proof that age doesn’t matter. She was elected “Queen for a Day” at Walt Disney World and had a great time;
For Berardi, the royal treatment meant she got to go to the front of the line at many of Disney’s attractions, along with her son, the Rev. Thomas Berardi of Troy, and two friends who joined them for the trip.
The day after she was picked to be queen, another Disney employee spotted her waiting in line to see the musical, “Beauty and the Beast.” Like a celebrity, Berardi was escorted past lines of waiting customers to exclusive front row seats. Then, at the conclusion of the performance, an actor called her onstage.
“This is Mary Berardi from Kingston and she is celebrating her 91st birthday,” the performer told the audience of thousands. The crowd responded by chanting, “Go Mary! Happy Birthday,” over and over, Berardi recalled. “I was laughing,” she said. (www.zwire.com)
