Subtitles could be: "Rides, Rides, Rides" or "Disney with Men"
We were in the World 10/16 thru 10/20 and had just a fantastic family time.
Here's the cast of characters:
Me (Anne) - 45 yrs young and a Certified Disney Fanatic! Classic type A personality, borderline OCD on certain issues (purses, locked doors, whether all appliances are off), hopelessly addicted to that elixer of life (diet coke).
DH (Neil) - Also 45, Goes along gamely for the good of the family - but has his fun. Has a very dry sense of humor, usually an insomniac
DS1 (Nathaniel) - 18, senior in high school, serious yet funny (See DH), frugal, tending towards control freak (see me!)
DS2 (Clay) - 14, freshman in high school, fun-loving, peacemaker, social butterfly.
We've been lucky enough to go a few times with the kids, the last trip being 4 1/2 years ago. What was amazing is how little Clay remembered ...I would have thought as a 10 year old last time he would have retained a lot, but most everything seemed "new" to him or he didn't remember doing certain rides. Our first trip in '99 set the standard, it was all new to both my husband and I and it instantly became a touchstone for me as to the ulimate family experience. We had to go back in '01 due to the scariness of the world after 911, back in '04 because I missed it and this year I needed to escape from the reality of losing my best friend, my Mom, to cancer.
Upcoming - a reminder that Disney magic can be found where you might least expect it , likes and dislikes and reviews...but first.... day 1 finds us over on the "dark side"
