I sort of thought they'd like it. But, I am 100% wrong about what they will like. One....hundred....percent. And, true to form, I was wrong again. I mean, they liked it ok, but they also REALLY like the Target toy aisle, and that's free. Our hotel was pretty grotty, and was by no means a cheapie. We were also next to the only bachelor party in Disney World (I hope-I mean, WHO does that? Lame!!!! "Yo, dude, check me out. I'm grindin' up on Ariel, yo. She's hot and she ain't got no legs. Don't tell my fiancee I was chuggin' Icees, ok?") So that sucked. Seeing as we were only there for 2 days, I had it planned to the millisecond. So, we get to the Magic Kingdom right when it opens, which means we got up before we went to bed, pretty much. And because the guidebooks said we had to get on Dumbo RIGHT AWAY BEFORE THE LINE GOT TOO LONG, we dragged those poor kids, who had no idea what Disney World even was (did I mention that? No? So again, stupidity..) across that park, bypassing all the nice staff lined up to welcome us (which actually make sense, as we are New Englanders and view kind welcomes as a sign of weakness) and not even explaining WHERE we were, only to suddenly find ourselves in line for 45 minutes. The kids were like "What the Fuck! Where are we? How did we get in a line? What is the line for? Elephants? Are you Fucking kidding me????"
Last year, in an attempt to leave my Father-In-Law with a few days peace from our extended Florida visit, we took our 2 daughters to Disney World. Why, you ask? Why would you torture yourself like this, when you could just as easily stick a hot needle in your eye? Dunno. Nostalgia, stupidity....

The kids were like "What the Fuck! Where are we? How did we get in a line? What is the line for? Elephants? Are you Fucking kidding me????" So that about sums it up. There were a few great moments. My then 2 year old was a Disney Princess fanatic, so watching her during the parades ("Snow White! Over here! It's me, Laurel! Remember me?"-like they were old pals) and meeting the princesses was pretty fun. Those women are AMAZING. And watching the 5 year old get her brave on and ride the big rides, and love them, was fun too. My husband and I also got a kick out of watching how Disney operates. From how the staff interacts with people, to how they manage crowds during the parades, it's pretty interesting. But in the end, like everyone else's kids I know, they loved the hotel pool the most. Lesson learned. A $2,000 lesson. For 2 days. Two.

Who is this person and why should I care?You probably shouldn't. You spend too much time on the internet anyway. Stop reading and go outside! But, this is the section where you have to say something about who you are...My name is Jhana (pronounced like the "J" in Bonjour, so everyone who knows me and calls me Jaaaahna, now you know). I live in the 'burbs of Boston with my husband and 2 kids, so yeah, with my 3 kids. I have a lot of things spinning around in my mind so instead of talking to myself in the mirror while I brush my teeth, I thought I would do what every other person does who thinks what they gave to say is AWESOME and for whom Facebook just wasn't enough. That's right-I said "whom." Archives
