So we went to Disney! The four of us, my dad. my stepmom, my mom, and my sister. It was all I wanted it to be and more. Magical. Fun. Happy. Good food... Granted a lot of this is thanks to my dad who insisted on a nice hotel and good restaurants that provide good wine...
But my kids did amazing. Good on the plane, slept well for being in a hotel, behaved at the parks, and had the time of their lives. We weren't Disney nazis. We just woke up each day, decided what we wanted to see, and went for it. No schedule or plan. Just stopped at whatever looked fun! Sadly our only plans involved food! While there my stepmom and I ran the Disney Princess Half Marathon. What an experience that was. Picture 25,000 women running. Most in tutus. Yep... My only complaint was that it was oversold and therefore over crowded. A lot of the course would bottleneck with all the runners and crowds and disney characters, bands, choirs, etc along the way. Therefore we lost some time in the first few miles trying to weave around the slower runners. We finished in 2:24. Not my best time in a half, but considering all the people it's fine. It was a crazy experience. You run at five am. So you get up at three to head down to the course and run the first half of the race in the dark which is kind of cool because they shoot off lots of fireworks. Overall, I would do the whole thing again. All of it. I heart Disney. :)
