ENJOYING WALT DISNEY WORLD

Having gone to Disney World with the family for the last few decades, it is sometimes unimaginable that there are those who have never visited this "happiest place on earth." But, I must admit, I was a doubted at first! Once upon a time, long ago, we were visiting our friends who had just returned from WDW, and I was apprehensive at best about going over to their home and listen to hours of stories, and look at photos, of a vacation destination I thought was a "silly site for young children" to spend a week of their time - not to mention having to be the parents that were going to be bored for seven days in a "fantasy land" of boredom. Looking back on that day and the days to follow until our first trip, I am astonished how wrong one person could possibly be - how I could have thought the created of the MMG (Mickey Mouse Gang) could ever design a destination I wouldn't thoroughly enjoy.

However, even after we heard the rave reviews that evening with our kids in toe, I still wasn't a true believer. I guess I just hadn't discovered the joy of running around "the lands of Disney" with little black ears sticking above those of my own. What a fool I was then, but I have been converted now, and will always be a believer in the world of the Mouse.

This blog is meant to help others become believers through our adventures in WDW, and make as many converts as possible so the joy of being in the "World" can be truly enjoyed.

I will admit though, that like all places on earth, there are drawbacks that may frustrate some, annoy others, and keep a few from really experiencing the fun that can be attained. That is the reason this blog will concentrate on mine, and my families, Disney World adventures.

There can be hot days, long lines, high costs, and other less than pleasureable features - but these can be avoided to the most part by the experienced Disney World visitors. The trick is to gain as much knowledge before you take your trip, and therefore, enhance the experience to the max!

Each visit, every year, things change.

We will constantly update this blog so you will find much more joy at WDW - without having any experiences that would be detrimental to you from having the best week (or two - or three) of each and every year.
