Spandex World, I mean Disney World





We are back in the cold fog. Back from the white sandy beaches. Back from the World of Spandex, Fanny Packs, and Grown Men Wearing Mickey Ears (Magic Kingdom), where our favorite section was Stroller Land (Fantasyland) and our favorite ride was The Sea of Strollers: Just Try To Find Yours, We Moved It (every ride).

If you've ever been to the Magic Kingdom (which basically is Disney World if you are in the know), you know what a logistical nightmare it can be to get in. I think parking, taking a tram to the monorail, then taking the monorail to the park wouldn't be so bad, but you have to add to the equation taking everything out of a double stroller, folding it and getting it onto the tram and monorail.  So you've got John with the stroller, me with a kid, diaper bag, and bag of snacks, and my mom with a kid and bags of drinks and a purse. It's really something to see. My advice if you have two small children or twins: BRING AN EXTRA ADULT.  Also, if you are trying to decide between Magic Kingdom in Disney World or Disneyland, which are close to the same thing, I personally like Disneyland better for little kids. You can walk in and out of Disneyland and go across the street to your hotel and rest. If you are looking for a resort with more than a couple of pools, then Magic Kindom is probably better for you.

We also had lots of fun at the beach and in the pool. I just had to go to Siesta Key when we first got there, it is known to have some the most beautiful sand in the world.  Of course it was pouring and storming there because my luck of the Irish is cancelled out by my German side, so we drove a little north to Lido Key where it was sunny as can be.   Other than that, just a lot of grandma and grandpa time!

Apparently my Youtube movie won't embed, so here is a link to a movie of Evan waiting in line for the Dumbo ride: http://www.youtube.com/user/gingertwinmom#p/a/u/0/QRhSfUAl85Y
