Well, I did it. I managed to get through 4 Disney parks in three days all the while having PMDD. It was hell. Long lines, small children on leashes, sticky stuff, sore feet and WAY too many adults in motorized scooters...but dammit I had fun!
The pictures do not do justice to how much fun the kids had. I am glad I had enough Midol during the day and enough wine at night to keep me smiling.
Nine different modes of transportation in one week. Amazing.
Car, bus, plane, people mover, tram, golf cart, monorail, paddle boat, motor boat, minivan,...oh that is ten.
Remember we are having fun here...getting three boys to pay attention to doors closing and when to get on and off the different vehicles. Making sure everyone had their bags, cameras, cell phones, that they had sunscreen on and that all have been to the potty-you know what I mean. FUN FUN FUN...
Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for having the opportunity to even go on a vacation. And I was very impressed with how well Disney does hospitality. AMAZING. Did you know they employ 75,ooo people in just the parks?? And apparently they are having to lay off folks, too. The parks were crowded and most visitors were from other countries-taking advantage of the dollar right now. It was a great experience to meet so many different people and to see the artistry that is Disney.
HIGHLIGHTS?
I did spot this fella all dressed up (Epcot, day two)...so glad I was able to get a couple of pics. I had also had a couple of smoothies with "some" alcohol in them - made the day much better...for everyone!

THE TOTAL LOOK with FAMILY-notice shorter version of rockstar to the right!!
And to end this entry, I leave you with my favorite picture of the trip-Rex with Corndog.

Wow, sis, sounds like you needed more than Midol! All those tourists would make me grumpy without PMS. I love the photo of R with the power ranger. Rockin Euro guy looked interesting, but R should have fed him his corndog. I'll bet R outweighs him by 11 lbs. Someone get that boy a burger!! And take away his heroin.
BTW, I loved your FB photo album title for these pics. I read it as:
Florida amusement parks march . . . . 2009. Get it?
MnMom, I read it that way too and laughed and laughed. That pic of R with the corn dog could be a greeting card, imagine the many sayings that could be paired with that! Perfect photo.
I think it's really funny that those parents have TWO of those boys.
