Disney

Well just 65 days till we arrive at Disney. I am so excited and pray this time no one gets sick so we can enjoy it to the fullest. We are driving, which really doesn't bother me, I guess because I have never flown there so I just don't have any other expectation. I have been on the search for discount books, and travel games for the kids and us to play for weeks now. This year is a brand new year for me as I have put a lot more time in thinking things out. I got fun car games such as license plate find, and car bingo. I am opting out of a chip/sweet treat and looking for more healthy selections that won't send the kids into a sugar high. We are going to be having a jump rope contest at each rest stop, so that every one's blood can get flowing again. We are taking the time to eat lunch at rest stops to avoid mess and boredom. Normally when we get to Orlando we check in our hotel, unpack and head to Downtown Disney. This time we are checking in and going to Magic Kingdom, since that day is extended hours we can stay longer. I sent for our own personal maps, and if God willing the twins will be potty trained. Now some things will stay the same, we are still staying at a Disney Resort, we are still only going to the Disney parks. We will go to Downtown Disney but will save it for after we check out on our last day.

Its amusing to me how people get so upset at the fact that we are spending so much on our trip. One must go to Disney to know why we continue to go back year after year. We never feel like we are wasting money in fact we feel we are building memories that will last a life time. We have gotten alot of " they won't remember". That is silly of coarse the twins won't remember.. they are 3, but they will see pictures and video and Kylie, Zachery and Emily WILL remember. Also who cares.. Kylie was 4 years old the first time we took her, she doesn't remember BUT.. I do we were walking hand and hand through the gates to Main Street in MK and she saw the Castle for the first time, she heard the music over the speakers and she was ear to ear grin. She was so excited and I remember her saying later " mommy these are MY princesses" as if Disney was completely put there "just" for her. That moment is priceless and although I know she doesn't remember it I know it one of the best days of her 4 year old life. Now really if we can offer that kind of moments ... shouldn't we?

So here we go our 5th adventure to Disney has a family. Sadly Zach's favorite rollercoast " Space Mountain" will be shut down for renovations, but he amped to go on new rollercoasters. Kylie as well is talking about the rollercoasters and Emily is excited to reride them (yep that's right my 5 year old rode rollercoasters last time we went, front row even). The twins keep asking about Buzz Lightyear so I am already anxious to ride the new Buzz ride and have them meet Buzz. As for Ron and myself, as much as we are kids ourselves it's alway a treat to see Disney through our children's eyes.
