I Don't Wanna Grow Up


This is my favorite part of the year. It is the part when I start planning a vacation with the hotel and the flights already booked. So, I know I am definitely scheduled to hit the road.

In August my family and I will be heading to Walt Disney World. For me it will be the 14th time I have traveled to my second favorite place on this great planet we call Earth (My first is Hawaii. It was sick and I am going back in 2012.). I just love going to Disney because it is just so much fun and I can be as immature as I want with little or no repercussions. For example, in WDW as an adult, I have:
  • Seen my father, husband, cousin and uncle in costume on a hot summer day
  • Eaten an ice cream pop while having it drip down my arm
  • Skipped leisurely through Fantasyland
  • Strapped a stuffed Mickey Mouse tour guide to my backpack and listened to him give tips and advice throughout the day
  • Raced through Epcot barefoot in the rain to get to a dinner reservation on time
  • Eaten an ice cream sundae named The Kitchen Sink after partaking in a seafood buffet (three family members got sick, one quit and TK and I sipped the remaining liquid through a straw to finish it)
  • Worn a Goofy pirate hat
  • Sang "It's a Small World" with a British accent like Zazu from The Lion King
Yea, I have no shame and apparently, no boundaries. I think living this way allows you to really, truly experience what fun is. So, let your guard down and have a great time...even if you need to pay Mickey a visit in order to do so...I'll even send you a sample itinerary.
