Friday's postfest zapped enough productivity. I need to work today. Enjoy the race to the last post.
Oh good, one less to worry about
1. You should slap yourself silly for thinking such a thing
Consider me sufficiently slapped.
2. This is a good thing. And I applaud you for it. There IS more to life than just Disney parks, even though I should slap myself silly for saying such a thing!We too try to do other things, despite going to WDW and DL as often as we do. We're talking about possibly hitting Gettysburg and D.C. next year - we haven't been to D.C. since my DW was pregnant with our middle son, and DD is now old enough to appreciate it as well as the boys. The World and the Land are fabulous places, but there are definitely so many other great places to explore and enjoy as well.
And yes... the novelty CAN wear off. My 14 yo has recently had the audacity to say that he's getting bored with it all... so sadly, next year is looking to be a less Disney-centric year for us as a family. Sure I'll still go on my solo adventures, and perhaps I'll do something with the younger two together, but I think (at least at this point) that we'll probably just make one trip later in the year and that'll be it. OR perhaps we'll still do Florida, but try for Vero or stay on property but hit Universal or Sea World again, or maybe try for Hilton Head. I'm not too thrilled about it, but I don't want to turn him off to family adventures either, especially since we're planning a trip to Hawaii in 2013 and we want him to go and enjoy it - the clock is ticking and he's off to college in 4 yrs. He's already talking about getting a summer job next summer working at Scout camp, so he'd be gone 6 days per week for 9 weeks of the summer. Gotta enjoy the time left and not make it something he doesn't want any part of. Even the cruise we were talking about up until just a few weeks ago might have to change. That might end up being just a couple thing leaving the kids with the grandparents or something... we're still not sure.
Consider me sufficiently slapped.
It's a tough balance to strike. We want Disney to always be thought of as a special place.
Hawaii in 2013? Interesting...Veddy interesting... our 15th anniversary is in 2013, and we have been talking about trying to go to Hawaii to celebrate...![]()
