A Disney Dancin' Trip Report

[DisneyEater]

Well, I am finally getting around to writing up this trip report and it certainly takes some interesting turns starting at day 1. The preview and 1st day are done. I will update as each day is posted.

Preview:

I am almost starting to feel like myself again this week so it is time to thrill you all with my tale from my trip to Disney World during the first week of March. I’ll be honest, this was far from our best trip to Disney. Things seemed to go wrong more often than normal but a bad day at Disney still beats a good day here at work so I can’t complain too much I guess.

While we would have taken a Disney vacation this year anyway, we were going at this particular time because my daughter’s dance school had the opportunity to perform in Downtown Disney. The crew for this trip was me, my wife, and my 2 daughters but we were also traveling with friends this trip and we would stay together for the entire trip, so really we traveled as 1 big extended family with four parents, two 11-year olds, two 7-year olds, and two 5-year olds.

This trip was really a “facts of life” trip (you know….as in, you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have..) with both good a bad moments, but the worst days of the trip were certainly the 1st and last days.

Here is the Report:

Why do I get the feeling more people would be reading this if I focused the title on the negative part of our trip instead of the positive.

If I had called it the "Excrement in the Tub Trip Report" I feel like I would get more comments. Agree?

I just started reading your trip report but it's not looking good on day one so far. I'm so sorry your wife and daughter had a bad experience their first night. It's definitely not how you want your friends to experience Disney for the first time. I'm only on day two so I hope the trip gets better for all involved.

Well, if you've gotten through it all by now you know there were some ups and downs throughout the rest of the trip. Thanks for reading along.

Hey just wanted to post one more update. I went through my youngest daughter's pictures on her camera and posted a bunch so you can view the trip from her eyes. It is fun. The castle picture really looks like a short person took it to me.
