Disney World

Well we made it back from the most magical place on earth they call Disney World. Cienna had so much fun meeting the characters, riding little rollercoasters, swimming in the "big pool" and the "tiny pool" aka the spa, and experiencing her first 3-D animation show which scared the daylights out of her. Each and every night she was tired beyond belief but ready to go the next morning with more pizzazz than the day before. I am glad that our trip was only 7 days because I really started to think that she was going to expect daily trips to Disney World for the rest of her life. If anyone is planning a trip to Disney World I have a few tips:
1. Pack your own lunch.
2. Always budget for ice cream. Always. It is Florida and you will need it.
3. Travel with someone in a wheelchair. You get to go in special lines. (Thanks Mom for pushing!)
4. Stay at a resort close to the parks. With all the shuttles and monorails and ferries, it takes 2 hours just to get to the park.
5. Bring your own water and refill it at the fountains. Buying it there is crazy expensive!
6. If you can only see one parade, make sure it is the nighttime one. Fabulous!
7. Don't try to go 5 days in a row. Make sure to plan a rest day.
8. Always make sure that someone is waiting for your 2-year old at the bottom of the pool slide BEFORE they go down it. This will save you from instantly aging 10 years.
9. Plan what you want to see that day before you head to the park. Checking maps and scedules when you are there is such a waste of time!
10. Before buying your ears, check the Mad Hatter at the park entrance. They have every hat that you can imagine and you can even design your own!
