Yep. I case you haven't been this is most DEFINITELY the happiest place on earth. For sure. When you first get there, you are greeted with love, peace, and kindness. Certainly, a far cry from pushing, shoving, and shelling out. Then the real fun begins! Which ride first?! Pirates for the boys? Snow White for the girls? Tower of Terror for the fast passes? AHHHHH!
As the day progresses, a pattern emerges; boy ride, girl ride, parent ride, with parent swap and usually a boy who is convinced he is going to DIE. As if I would spend 10 million dollars to knock them off at DISNEY WORLD. There are FAR cheaper ways. I noticed that each and every ride ended in a little gift shop. Try toting four young children and a husband through a gift shop after all rides. Then you have all the happy parents! and happy children! and happy employees!
All kidding aside, going to Florida with the kids really was fun; we had a blast at Disney/Epcot/Hollywood Studios. I experienced spending 12 dollars for a half bottle of wine that I drank straight out of the bottle...Then renting a car and driving across Florida (which apparently isn't all that attractive unless you live on the beach!) and settling ourselves in 'our' beach house for a week. We had fabulous weather, great sand castles, and saw some really amazing sites, right from our front porch. I also discovered a fun bug cleverly called "No See Ums" as you can't see um! They bite like mad as the sun goes down and leave these great bites that itch like none other. Think mosquito bites on steroids!
On the plus side, we say dolphins, sting rays, and tons of fish. We 'hunted' starfish, shells, and fighting conchs. We got to hang with grandma and grandpa as well as aunt Sandi and uncle Vern. Overall, a very successful trip! I needed a vacation from the vacation.
