I'm glad to know I'm not the only goof who goes to the parks late at night by myself while everyone else is sleeping.![]()
Loved reading your report. I asked my kids DS12 and DS17 what they would think if my DP and I headed to Disney without them for a romantic getaway.
My youngest just had his jaw hanging low like we had just put him on restriction and my oldest said he would call the Maury show and try to go for abandonment.I'm thinking they are not as sweet as your kids!
I am also glad that I was able to read all of this in one night because it would have driven me crazy waiting for that picture!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to the two of you on your anniversary and what a lovely couple you are!
I was amazed, our kids never whined or cried about it once. Of course they gave us some grief, but they were great about it. We thought about not even telling them, but then one day I sat them down and told them about the trip and why we wanted to do that. They were cool about it. Of course it helps that we are going back in August with the whole family.
OK, it's time to finish up this trip report.
I had an interesting conversation with one of the lifegaurds for about a half hour. He had come from Paris France and was a new hire. His accent was really thick, but he was very nice and interesting. He was disappointed that he could only stay for 6 months, but planned on heading to California afterwards. He also said that being French he made a lot more than his fellow American cast members. Not sure why that is?
Could it have something to do with the currency he's paid in and the exchange rate?
Glad everyone enjoyed this trip report. It's amazing that almost 10,000 people have looked at it. Thanks everyone for making these Dis Boards so much fun.
I think the reason so many people have embraced this TR is becuase it's a wonderful fantasy-- a trip to The World with just your dear spouse and no kids! I know it's mine!![]()
One last word of advice. If you have a trip coming up I hope you have a great time. Remember to go into it with an open mind and don't overplan.
