THIS IS THE WAY!! You absolutely must. Believe me when I tell you that it’s an emotional journey…100%. They really, REALLY know how to reach into your chest and grab your beating heart Kali Mahhhhh style. And then you go to the back of the line to do it all over again :)
Nothing will maker you lose faith in humanity faster than working a flight to/from Orlando. Or rather cleaning the cabin after one. So, so many goldfish.
Also, when I was told families wearing matching T-shirts was a thing I laughed. Turned out the joke was on me.
Oh man. You are doing God's work on that flight. Absolutely. My husband and I remarked to each other that we didn't think we had ever been on a flight with so many kids before. And this exchange happened:
Him: Well, except for, like babies that end up crying for half the flight.
Me: Yeah, but babies can't help it. The air pressure hurts their ears. Kids are just assholes.
It is an incredible place to experience...both Disney World and DisneyLand. He was a genius and visionary and the amount of work that goes into creating a very unique experience is its own art form. We did this trip with my two nephews and I definitely cried a few times. It also has its bonkers aspects in other ways :) For sure!
"I am uneasy in this atmosphere with its forced festiveness."" ( Sounds like an initiation into a cult if you ask me.) Then the truth of the matter, "Not in the listing: 30 bedrooms, 1 bath." Hah!
I am not at all sure it was your intention, Sheila, but that last paragraph is frightening to me. It sounds like mass hypnosis. Thought manipulation. Lemmings catapulting themselves off a cliff! Every one remember to drink your Kool-aid! I don't know... maybe it's my age.
Well...Disney can feel a little cultish..it's true :) And yes, That It's A Small World ride is its own kind of demonic atmosphere what with the plucky song that lodges itself in your brain for eternity :) If you know your Joseph Conrad, you knew what I was going for at the end there :) X!
I knew you'd appreciate it! I couldn't quite capture the essence of ALL THE MOTORIZED VEHICLES...the tall and the small (as Dr. Seuss would say). As you know, it is the land of plentiful personal transportation device....abundant.
It is tricky, right? This is from a trip I did with my brother and his kids in late-April. He is a wheelchair user, so we’ve always had a certain perspective on things, but it does make you wonder where the line is around medical necessity. Mostly I want to figure out how to “valet” for the parks and make some serious bank! :)
In our trip there recently, for a cheer comp, one of our daughter’s parents was gifted a VIP day at the parks from her boss. And we were invited. It was crazy cool. We were like big timers.
We asked our guide who the biggest a-hole celeb he had to take around was: Ariana Grande, no question, he said.
Wow! That is pretty amazing and so, very cool. If I had Bezos money, I would definitely do something like that--in a hot potato minute. Sure, start up a whole bunch of "cure cancer labs," more museums, stop famine yadda yadda...but also the VIP Disney situation. :) I can see the butthole Grande. That tracks.
I've never been, even to the one in California! But we religiously watched The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. Tinker Bell RULES! lol.
If you dare to go..tread lightly and with lots of sunscreen and CASH :) Disney was a genius and a modern marvel--absolutely, agreed!
Great read! Disney is a special kind of exhausting but I'm still desperate to pay a ridiculous amount of money to build my own lightsaber. :)

Ask me why I didn't have kids. :)
I haven’t been to the one in Florida, but I did visit California’s Disney. I enjoyed it immensely. It actually woke up the child in me.

Fantastic reporting here, girl.

I love your account of traveling to a strange new land! 😂
Aww thanks so much! It is definitely full of surprises!
Perfect guide for those who can’t afford this pricey world. 👏👏
Disney is a master class in delayed gratification :)
Cut a bitch 🤣🤣🤣
“Personal transportation scooters.” I was anxiously awaiting what you were gonna call those
I knew you'd appreciate it! I couldn't quite capture the essence of ALL THE MOTORIZED VEHICLES...the tall and the small (as Dr. Seuss would say). As you know, it is the land of plentiful personal transportation device....abundant.
Yes, abundant. That’s a very apt description for those machines. And most of their operators.

I don’t know. Bill Gates does all that shit and all he gets as a thank you is a bunch of conspiracy theories
Sign me up for private yachts, Botox babes, and private islands 🤣🤣🤣
