One of the reasons we loved the cabins at FW last year

To answer your question, a mixed drink usually makes me forget how tired I am and how sore my feet are for AT LEAST an hour!![]()
Especially if you chug-a-lug itWhich is another adult behavior you don't want to show the kids.
Let me share a possibly fictional story:
Fade in on darkened All Star Sports Room.
Wife: Do you think they're asleep yet?
Kids: Not yet!
...time passes.
Wife: I think they're asleep!
Husband: I'll get the mixed drinks out of the cooler!
Wife: *giggle*
Crashing noise as husband falls over suitcase trying to find cooler
Wife: Shhh! Oh My God! We've been sitting in the dark for an hour trying to get them to fall asleep, for crying out loud don't wake them up!
Husband: I think my toe is bleeding.
Wife (from bathroom): Pour some booze on it and get in here!
Husband stumbles into bathroom holding drinks and his bleeding toe. Fan turns on. Crashing noise is heard as bottle slips from husband's bloodied hand to smash on the tile floor of the bathroom. Fan turns off. Kids wake up.
...and then we bought DVC.

Oh my gosh, I'm holding my sides and crying I'm laughing so hard. I was "trying" to read this aloud to DH, and could barely get the words out.


Us too!![]()
There was a very funny thread on this a few months back and they decided if you "needed a sheet up" or used the "bathroom fan" then you were in the Bannana Dance Club!
I can't find it now, but it had some very creative ways to "Banana Dance" while on vacation.
We, on the other hand, had a value room with a 9 yr. old, no bathroom fan would have worked. You need something to look forward too when you get home anyway!![]()
in honor of it. Our kids are 14, 10 and 7 and we stay values. Our oldest sleep with the grandparents in an adjoining room, but our little 2 were in the room. We, I admit, can't go a week, so a few times we, well, all we did was wait till the kids fell asleep. Once our kids are out, they are OUT! It isn't always good, once we tried to get them out of the house when our neighbor's garage was one fire (near our house), but it is great on vacation. We never have had an issue, once they are asleep we are fine to

I agree...that's a serious ew when the kids are in the same room. Send them to one of the Disney babysitting clubs....don't do it with them in the room....ew ew ew.
Now that my kids are older we tend to send them to the pool....but at night when they are in the room....gross...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, NOT WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE IN THE ROOM!

Mandy, you *do* realize that we're not talking about sleeping here, right?
Ok, I have to go to work before I get myself in trouble.
I did know what you were talking about. I quoted a post about not sleeping in the same bed as hubby on vacation. Ive often said my favorite part of of our honeymoon ( taken 7 months after the wedding and i was 23 weeks pregant) was having my own bed
Ok...to all you wannabe banana dancers who'd like to use the bathroom for "recreation," please don't do like a couple I know and yank the sink out of the wall in the process! (don't remember where but it wasn't at Disney!)
Can you imagine calling the front desk/ mousekeeping to report that "So, sorry to trouble you, but could you send someone to fix our sink? It kinda fell off the wall while DH and I were ah....um....showering" I would be sooooooo embarassed!

And, yes, I'm in the bathroom with the fan on club.
Next trip we'll be staying off-site in a rental house, our own room, our own bathroom.
