I once said I would rather hang out with Tyler Durden than
Dumbo and while that sentiment has not really changed, I must admit I’m getting
excited to leave on vacation over the weekend. We are again heading to Disney World. I beg to differ that it is “the happiest place
on Earth” as I could make a good argument for a deserted beach with a butler
and an open bar.
But having kids, better yet being married to a bigger one,
Disney is about as family friendly as you can get. We figured
that being the last year Ian is “free” that why not take advantage of what has proved
to be two successful past family vacations.
Everything about a Disney trip
is designed to maximize making things easy for families.
Bill is the master Disney planner and managed to shave close
to a $1000 in discounts using a Disney Visa.
We are doing a few things differently this trip and frankly after going
previously we have down how to do Disney.
I’m almost a little ashamed to
mention this is our 3rd trip in 5 years given the economy as well that this time next month I’ll be as far away from commercialization as
possible.
Major changes for this trip include adding a water park day, the Luau at the Polynesian, Mickey’s Backyard BBQ and Musical Revue, and
a night at Downtown Disney at the giant Lego store. We are using the WDW Park touring apps to help with
crowds and wasting time (and patience) in lines.
We bought the boys these awesome ID bands from RoadID. We’ve
been talking rules and how Bear Bucks will work on vacation. Without jinxing ourselves, but Ben’s behavior
on the 3rd med trial has been amazing. He’s been a big helper and an extra set of
eyes for an increasingly fearless Ian.
I give Bill all the credit for planning this trip from start
to finish. Other than packing he’s taken
care of every l detail. I’ve
already offered to do naptime with Ian each day as well as taking meltdown
return to the hotel duty. I’m all over
reading a book in the cool or taking a daily nap.
The boys are beyond excited, even Ian who loves Mickey Mouse
Club House calling him “Mick Mouse.”
Many of the Pixar and Disney classic movies have made the rotation into
family movie night. WDW bound for a week of fun. Besides where else will I ever pull off this outfit?

LOL at the outfit. Looks like a lot of fun. Someday I will convince my husband to take a trip to disney...his idea of vacation is going camping for a week. Don't get me wrong I like that too but Disney is a blast! Cant wait to see how it goes and how Ben does with meltdowns now that the new meds are working better.
