So Wednesday we woke up excited and ready to hit the parks. I was thinking with the time of year being that most children were in school, I thought the parks wouldn't be that crowded.....man was I ever wrong. It was crowded....and hot during the day. But even though it was hot and crowded, not to mention I was in al lot of pain, we had fun riding the rides and spending time together.
As much as we want children, I was personally glad that at this point in time that we dont. I recommend any couple who is thinking about going to Disney World to go before they have kids. There were several couples we saw, young and old, who were enjoying the parks on their own. I do not envy any of our friends that have children. It was a blessing that we got to do this alone with out children for the first time as a couple.
I was in awe of the fact that people were bringing babies to this park....and when I mean babies I mean 3 months to 2 years. I just dont get it. Who wants to tote around a stroller, diaper bag, and fight through thousands of people for a child who wont even remember they came. My kids got to be walking and potty training before we would even consider a trip......just my opinion.
So back the point....
Disney World was a blast.....tiring.....but a blast. For some reason my legs were really bothering me the whole time we were there.....I mean it was so bad it gave me a flash back to my freshman year in high school when I was playing basketball and running all the time and how much my legs hurt....I could hardly walk. But I pushed through it and had a good time despite the fact that my legs were on fire and I had no clue why.
This was a time in our lives where we were thankful we didn't have children. We were able to make are own schedule, ride what we wanted, skip what we didn't, eat when and where we wanted and stay as long as we wanted. Part of what this trip did for us was make us realize that we LOVE the fact we are childless. I mean if we would have decided to have kids right now this trip would have been out of the question.
I love the Disney Company. There service was great and all their staff was generally happy to be there. Ironically one of the only people I saw that wasnt smiling was the lady hold one of the parade banners. She was singing along to the song.....but she was not smiling. One part that I was kinda disappointed at was that I remember Disney being an alcohol free park. Well it isnt any longer..... I just think with as many children that are in that park everyday I think they should have skipped on that way of making money. Again my opinion.
I think the only other part that kinda dissapointed me was the lack of characters. Unless you wanted to stand in line for an hour to meet Woody and Buzz, watching a parade or show, or went to one of the character meals ( which you had to pay extra for) you almost never saw the characters. We did get to get a few pictures with some of the characters in Epcot
These were the only character we got to take pictures with =(. But they were by far the most important.
This was the closest we got to seeing Whinnie the Pooh and Tigger...our faves......I mean would you wait ing a long line for that....We didnt
We dining plan, which I would recommend as well. It was simple to use and saved us alot of time and money. It was around $42 a night per a person....$84 a day for both of us. But if you would have saw what it cost us just to eat dinner (up to $80) we knew right away that it was worth it, not only for the convenience but for the priced. Cause lets face it......Disney finds its way to get your money. I liked mostly for its convenience but also because we got so much food. I mean most of the time it was almost too much cause you not only get the entrée but also a desert...which I never have room for. And even better all the food was great. Down the the hot dog we had for lunch.
Over all the trip was great. We cant wait to go back. We both agreed that next time we go not only are we going to go for longer but that we would stay in a nicer hotel. We stayed at the lowest of the low.....but I mean for how long we were in the room I guess it was ok.
He is wearing a Goofy hat if you cant tell.....I should have made him get it.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!!
