I'm glad you all feel the same way, I thought it was just me, well, and my friend. I'm working a lot of overtime at work, as a means to an end, my Oct. DW trip. It's hard and frustrating at times, but I know it will be worth it in the end, and the saving grace is this forum. I read a lot of posts from others addictied to the Mouses house, working hard to enjoy their vacation time, so I don't feel so alone in the quest. I've traveled quite a bit both in the US and out, but I don't get nearly as excited for any other trip, as I do for DW. What is it? Escapism? Leaving the saddness and maddness of the real world behind for at least a few days? We know why the kids love it, but I think it's the one place that all stressed out, overworked adults can let down their guard, and return to a much simpler, happier time. I'm just really glad there is such a place.
