The main characters: Me, a slightly manic and completely Disney-obsessed mom of two; my husband, who tolerates and maybe even enjoys my love for the parks; my 9 year old son, who loves baseball and pokemon; and my six year old daughter, who loves princesses and trying to burp the alphabet. Guest starring: my mom, recovering from a horrible foot injury and the ensuing surgeries, who still complained less about her feet hurting than I did.
Here we all are
The latest trip and
topic of my inaugural post is our recent trip to Disney World in Orlando, FL.
It was the fifth trip together for most of us, fourth for my daughter. When I
was growing up, we did a few trips as well - I think a total of five between
ages 5 and 15. So, my kids are way ahead of where I was at their age.
This trip was the
longest that I have ever done - nine nights and ten days. The excitement
leading up to the trip was almost as fun as the trip itself. Being a bit type
A, I spent a lot of time reading, planning, and thinking about what we hoped to
do on our trip. It definitely paid off, IMHO. I am usually playing the role of
tour guide - no one else really pays much attention to things like scheduling fast
passes, booking dining reservations, or even just the best way to get around
the parks.
