We've been planning a trip to Disney for a few months now, although it seems like everything has just recently come together with the help of a fabulous travel planner. Its been a long time, if ever, that we (as a family of four) have taken a vacation together. Its not that we're hermits, we actually travel quite a bit but when we do vacation we usually go with other people.
I'll be honest, I was a little nervous about this trip. I'm a planner and don't usually have qualms about making plans, but lets face it...the happiest place on earth, can be completely overwhelming even for the most experienced vacationer. That coupled with 2 kids (one of whom still requires a nap) in an overly stimulating, overly populated place isn't exactly the ideal recipe for a fun and relaxing vacation if you know what I mean.
Now that we're here, its better than we imagined. The weather is beautiful - upper 70's and sunny (a nice break from the cold reality of MI which topped out at a high of 20 the day we boarded the plane), the food (while expensive, I don't have to cook it!), the sights (from the plane ride to the hotel and everything in between), and the smiles on the kids faces, we are enjoying every minute of our vacation.
Excited to see Mickey!
This was their idea of "helping" me pack

First ride and there was no wait. Walked right on...fabulous! AND, it SO sunny!
The huge tree and strong daddy!
Meeting Mickey. Benn was shy, but maybe by the end of the week he'll start warming up to the characters...
Stay tuned, more pictures from sunny FL to come!
