Currently in the air, thanks Delta WiFi!
My wife and I have been to Disney many , many times. Engaged there, honeymooned there, cheap … expensive trips, everything in between. Short ones, long ones, stays off and on property etc.
Our kids are 5 and 3, two pretty hyperactive boys with some personal choices to avoid handheld devices. My kids watch TV but don’t own an iPad and they’re never handed a phone.
Safe to say, bringing our children was a long time goal for us. We just did a 4 night / 5 day stay at the beach club with the lads and holy smokes, that was the ultimate test of patience!
We utilized early morning access and limited trips to 1/2 days to avoid the insane heat. We had a backpack of snacks, books, small toys etc and yet none of that eliminated the tantrums.
Disney with toddlers is an exercise in the highest of highs and lowest of lows. We cried during shows, we were ready to tear our hair out at times. We seemingly never had any “cruising speed” moments.
I loved it but wow I was not actually prepared for that experience. I thought we prepared ourselves for slower pace but I suddenly saw so many moms and dads dealing with the same stuff everywhere we went.
To all the parents out there… woof, we’ve got this… despite the many bumps along the way.
