Disneyworld Vactaion from New Years

I have been meaning to write up some stuff about our vacation to Disneyworld over New Year's 2007.

We had a great time (why not) and the kids only wish they could go back tomorrow. I wouldn't mind, but my bank account will have to catch up for awhile. I really enjoy the Disney experience and they really make you feel like a king while you are there, but everything costs so much and the fast food in the Hotel's food court isn't really for those on a diet either.

We spend longer then we normally have in the past. In other times (well we have only gone to WDW twice in the past, while we are old hands at Disneyland) we have only had a few days to spend in the parks. Both times before we were only able to spend 4 days and that is really the absolute minimum depending on the time of year you go. The last time we went during spring break and the time before we really didn't have any planning and was difficult to figure where to go.

This time we knew we were going during the absolute worst time (crowds wise) and knew that we needed more time. So we decided to spend a full week, and later even added an extra day for travel. Since we live on the west coast (Oregon), and we have to drive for awhile to get to the airport anyway, the extra day was needed and mostly burned on airline flights and buses to the hotel. We left around 6:00am from Portland and ended in Orlando at 7:30pm. Long Day.

We had the best days in the parks though. This trip was the best for our family, and instead of having to wait for everyone else in the party, we were able to just take our time and enjoy everything. I might take some time later and write up a full trip report. This is useful for my typing skills too.




Enjoy
