Disney World

     Sure it's the happiest place on Earth, if you have the money to go. Honestly Disney prices are not all that bad. That is if you're going for a week vacation. Especially when you get a deal through them. I've compared the deals from all kinds of other places to Disneys own. You can't beat Disney. A ticket for a day or two is not worth it, as we learned on the big trip. We tried to hit Disneyland in California but it was just too expensive for six of us for 2 days.
     Though we've only been to Disney World three times, I'm a pro at planning for Disney. Working at the library probably helped that a lot. I found tons of books on Disney and scoured them for any pertinent information. I get my newsletters and email updates from different websites dedicated to all things Disney. It's always fun to see what they are up to. As Disney is constantly changing and growing to make you want to come back over and over again. With the kids I have to be prepared. More research, more info, better trip.
     My sister was recently saying how she may try to go soon with her little one. Since I get all my email updates and info from Disney also I was telling her about the deals they were having. Rob and I always have to look just to see how much it would be when we get a new offer from Disney. Since we are always pricing it out we know when a really good deal comes up for our family. It's fun to think of the possibility of going. He thinks we'll be back soon. With me not working and losing babysitting hours from my neighbor left and right, I think eventually we'll get there again.
     We are always there anyway. At least Rob and I are. Our first trip to Disney World was for our honeymoon. We got our picture taken and put up on the Leave a Legacy wall in Epcot. We don't know how long it'll be there but it's there for now. And our kids have seen it twice. It's always fun for them to find us each time we visit Epcot. I didn't know a single thing about Disney before our honeymoon. Just that it was Disney. We took things as they came. It's always easier just the two of us. Add in kids, add in lots more opinions and meltdowns. But at Disney with the kids you also add in a lot more smiles and laughs and fun. It's great to see it through their eyes.
     There are four parks that make up Walt Disney World. I do not have a favorite. Each one is so different. Each time we go back there is always something new to discover. At all of the parks. I do not think I'd ever want to go every year as some people do. If I lived around the corner, maybe. Every three years or so makes it long enough to want to do it again. They are always building something new, whether it's a hotel or a new ride or new attraction. That also makes coming back fun. Seeing something as they were creating it, as we did with Expedition Everest, and then going back to see it finished and get to ride on it makes it much more exciting.
     I can't say for sure when we'll be back. We were just there summer 2009. It does almost make it a tease now that we have a timeshare in Florida right outside of Disney property. That also makes it easier to do all the other things Disney that you may skip while spending all your time in the parks while there on vacation. We can always go to Downtown Disney, or visit any of the many hotels we'll probably never stay in because they are too expensive. They also have two miniature golf course we've never played. So each Florida trip to the timeshare may have a little taste of Disney. The full vacation we'll save for staying there. It would be fun to go sometime other than summer to see different shows and decorations they have to coincide with the holidays. For now summer is what we have, with the kids in school and my husband the teacher, we can't go any other time. No matter. It's what we know and love and have no problem doing it again. Even if it is in the heat everyone says we're crazy to go in. We're used to it. And love every minute of it. Well most of them.
