Chapter 2 - Disney Trips of Long Long Ago
Next up....our Disney history!
Our little Disney problem started way back, long ago on our honeymoon....yes, its been that long! 13 years to be exact! Have I really been looking at him that long? Ya, and I love him!
We stayed at Dixie Landings now known as Port Orleans Riverside but it will always be Dixie Landings to us. Makes me sad to think the Port Orleans just opened up and swollowed poor Dixie. She never even saw it coming.
We stayed there for a week and that was it, we were sold! Totally in love with Disneyworld!
We made a repeat trip in February of 1996 and stayed at our beloved Dixie once again. Can't remember how long we were there that time. Probably about a week. No sense in us traveling that far for much less then that.
Next trip we had Belle with us and I was 6 months pregnant with Tink. We wanted to take Belle on one last trip as an only child. Why I'm not sure but it seemed important at the time!
Me being the sneaky person that I often think I am decided I was going to go on some of the rides that they warned pregnant people (okay, pregnant women - I mean really, how often do you see a pregnant man?) not to ride. Now before anyone goes all ape on me, I went on the Safari Ride and something else which currently escapes my brain. Nothing too thrilling. Anyways, back to the story - I really didn't think that anyone would be able to tell that I was pregnant. I thought I was still this skinny little thing and I was really getting away with something there. Until I got home and looked at the pictures - yep, I was huge as a house. Oh well. I guess they knew but decided not to fight with the preggo-lady!
Last trip was in February 2001 just after Tink turned a year old. We learned the beauty of the stroller pass that trip! Belle fell in love with Test Track and was terrified of the Winnie the Pooh ride. Go figure! Weird kid.
We have made many, many trips to Disneyland in California inbetween all these Florida trips and HG used to go to Los Angeles on business so the girls and I would tag along and visit Mickey while HG was working. As much as I love Disneyland it pales in comparison to WDW.
Our last trip to Disneyland was Feb 2006 for Tink's 6th birthday. Belle spent the whole trip in the hotel room with HG sick as a dog. I guess its only fair though - when we went down for Belle's 6th birthday Tink threw up the whole time!
We haven't tempted the Disney fate since.
Here's hoping no one gets sick this time. I'm bringing my Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer and I may use both to bathe the kids!
awww you had a Disneymoon too. My DH and I had our Disneymoon in 2003 and stayed at the beach club. Disneymoon's are the best!!
that's funny that you thought you were getting away with something when you were 6 months pregnant and getting on the "forbidden" rides maybe if you had 3 or 4 months pregnant you would've not been showing that much. At least they didn't put up a fight by not letting you get on the rides you wanted to! I think it's special that you took your oldest as an "only child" you will always have those memories with just her.
I noticed in other threads and yours too that you and your kids were sick (I believe that was you?)...so hopefully that's all over with now BEFORE your trip and you won't have another incedent like the last trip. Here's hoping **crosses fingers**
