As promised, this will be the Disney World blog entry. As I had mentioned, two weeks ago, our family (together with my brother in law's family) went to Orlando, Florida to have a last hurrah before the kids return to school. It was my and Noah's first time at Disney. (Before some of you get too shocked about that, let me remind you that I spent the first 30 1/2 years of my life in the Philippines). Suffice it to say that it seemed like never-ending walking and sweating. Frankly, I'm surprised I didn't lose any weight after that entire week. Oh right!...it's 'cos at the end of each day, I felt I deserved all the calories I can consume in one meal. *sigh*
Before we dive into the photos, let me just share with you some of the thoughts I had while walking, lining up and basically getting burnt in the Florida heat...
***Disney is a well-oiled machine. There are a ton of rules and 'choice' is simply factored out of the equation (e.g. you are told where to park, no questions asked) and yet no one dares to complain. That's what happens when rules have been proven to work for generations and you appreciate that they are there for efficiency. That's also what happens when individuals shed their egos and the belief that they know better, can make things better. And the shedding of egos becomes easy when you are thinking of someone more important than you...your child/ren, and that your mission is to to bring fun to your loved ones and make lasting memories.
***Wouldn't it be so unspeakably awful if a loved one broke up with you while you're in Disney?......
