Disney 2008


Well I must admit at first I was a bit bummed with Disney. The first day things could not go slower and more frustrating. I or we were so exhausted we could not think straight. The kids did wonderful.

Josh was afraid to fly or travel or even meet Mickey. He was bawling his eyes out when we loaded him into the van to go to the airport. I thought for sure we may not make it there. Once he was at the airport and he saw the planes and airport we were good. After we landed, he wanted to do it again. It was the best day ever.

The first day there we were so exhausted it was hard to enjoy anything. It seem nothing was going our way. I will say we were cranky. Had a pretty good time at Hollywood Studios in the evening. Didn't do much but got to see the Muppet 3D which the boys really enjoyed.

The second day we had breakfast with Mickey. It was fun. The boys were both jumping out of their skins to meet Mickey and the gang. They did great though and really waited for their turn at the tables. I must admit the characters amazed me. They really work the one table and then if another child or someone interupts the character still go on with whom they are with and doesn't give that person acknowledgement. Must be the mom in me, but to ignore what is going on around them and focus on one table is amazing. Don't get me wrong they are not ignoring anyone they just stay so focused it is amazing. They do not stray from what they are doing which I would think would be hard if there are kids trying to interupt. Which is good if you have kids that can't stay in their seat.

The few days went good and we were very busy. A very Merry Christmas was not what I expected, but the shows were good. I guess we just always manage to stay in the thick of things with were all the people were. Very crowded.

The last night Brandon got to be part of the Hoop Dee Do show and it was very entertaining. Don got sick and spent the next day sharing himself all over the hotel. Too bad we didn't have a room, yuck. But we believe now he had food poison and so it took a day to re coup and luckily we went to his friends house for a day before we had to travel and he was able to relax a bit. The house itself was chaotic, kids,dogs, cats but he was able to sleep without having to travel.

I guess you could say we had a good time, but WOW is it different than what you expect. We thought we would have problems with Brandon, and it was Josh that gave us the harder time... good figure.
