A year ago....

I can't believe it has already been a year since our Disney trip. I had a lot of misgivings about our trip to Disney, but mainly "are we blowing a ton of cash to buy into a world of commercialism?". I had serious doubts folks.
I should fess up and admit that I have an unusual escape mechanism, when things are tough (i mean really tough) I love watching cartoons. Cartoons are filled with bright colors, happy music, and the characters always resolve their problem & are happy at the end of the show. I admit, I find this very appealing in dark times.
So when we went to Disney I never thought for 1 instance how AWESOME it would be. I was thinking of lines, grumpy people, expensive food, unruly children. But I have to tell you that it knocked my socks off. Everything in the world of Disney was P-E-R-F-E-C-T; there was not one leaf out of place, no one was rude, everything was cheery & bright. It was incredible. Staying at the resort completed the feeling of living in this overwhelmingly wonderful place.
Driving off the Disney property back into the "real" world was a bit tough. The only thing I have to compare it to is when you have a baby and you get to stay in the hospital & it is completely surreal. Then you leave and you get in your car & you are back in the real world with all of it's bumps and bruises.
So here I am a year later, and I cannot wait to go back. I am already yearning for that feeling of our family being together in that cocoon of happiness (no bills, no phones, no internet, no practices, no homework, the list could go on). Disney made me a believer!
