Disney won't always be fun for you, but for your kids it will be like an unbelievable experience - plus you will enjoy it alot more if you choose to see everything through their vantage point, does that make sense? Have fun!  When that perspective started to click in my brain leading up to the trip, it took a ton of pressure off of me to go try and enjoy everything as if the trip was somehow about me, it wasn't. And I ended up enjoying the trip alot more I believe because I got to share in their excitement. All of it was new for them and an exciting adventure for them.  |
sound advice... that's probably been my biggest struggle raising kids - seeing things from their vantage point.
