Disney World - Florida

Our big vacation this year was to Disney World. We went less than a week after school was let out for the summer. We had been briefed/warned by other friends what to expect. I had been to Disney World when I was a kid, but Scott hadn't. And this was our kids first times, as well.

Let me start by saying, in the end, we loved it. We all had a great time. It was a great experience.

BUT, it was also one of the most exhausting vacations I've been on. After the first day, I didn't know how I was going to make it the week. Don't go to Disney, if you want to relax....go to a beach or a mountain top.

The first day, we went to Magic Kingdom. It was hot and crowded! For a Wednesday, I thought the crowds would be less, but I was wrong. We went to Space Mountain first. This might have been a little much for everyone, including Scott. We should have warmed up to it, but by the end of the day, the line would have been impossible. We used our FastPasses wisely, so even though there were huge crowds. The longest wait we had was about 25 minutes.

We made from when the park opened till about 2pm. Then we were just hot and tired, so we went back to the hotel to swim.

In the evening, we went back to Magic Kingdom for one of my favorite things, the light parade. The kids thought it was cool, too. But after that, the kids were ready to go back to the hotel, so we didn't stay for fireworks.
