Looking for Disney suggestions
That special Florida moment has arrived: Our first trip to Disney World.
Our older son turns 3 on April 11, and we’re taking his birth certificate for his free admission and heading to Lake Buena Vista for the weekend. So now I turn to you, loyal readers of the Moms and Dads blog: What should I know about Disney World?
I know there are plenty of tips out there. In fact, a simple Google search turned up a discussion board about Disney World tips. One woman asked how she should wear her hair in the parks since she has "long straight hair and it can really get on my nerves in the heat & humidity." She got about a dozen responses, and decided to try a ponytail.
Anyway, trips to Disney World seem to be one of the few common experiences of Floridians. Everyone, at some point, ends up at Disney. It’s like New Yorkers and the Statue of Liberty. No matter what, every New Yorker rides that ferry to Liberty Island at some point. So that’s why it’s fascinating to ask for recommendations: Everyone has one. And I need them.
