At the beginning of December, I took my family on a trip to Disney World. It was an early Christmas present. It had been 19 years since the last time I had been to Disney World and it has changed a lot since then. It was an adventure going because we have four children, Evan 8, Simon 6, Abby 4 and Celeste 10 months. So thought that we were crazy taking a 10 month old with us but it is not fair leaving one member of the family out. Watching her excitement over some of the most simple things made it more enjoyable. I will probably write more blogs about some tips for going and must see attractions but right now I wanted to share each one of our top picks.
Evan's top pick was Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster because of the speed. Simon and Abby both picked the Tower of Terror which they couldn't stop talking about when they got home. Even though Celeste cannot talk, her reactions told us which ride was her favorite, It's A Small World. My wife, Kim, picked Expedition Everest. I had a really hard time picking my favorite between Expedition Everest and Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster but I would have to go along with Evan. Going zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds was intense and that was just the beginning of the ride which took you on all kinds of loops and turns. But my favorite moment on the trip was watching the reaction on Celeste's face as we rode on the It's A Small World ride.
She was pointing and reaching and bouncing to the music and it brought back memories of when I was little and going on this ride. They made some changes but it still holds the same magic. We ended up riding on it 5 or 6 times all together while we were there. It is not a cheap trip but when you see the smile on your child's face, it makes it all worth it.Technorati Tags: Disney World, vacations, Florida
