You like the Taxi reference?
So, I am going to the world in September. Aside from the usual suspects (DW, DS & DDx2) we are taking my parents, sister, and niece. This will be my sister and parents first visit since 1994 when my sister was 6.
Planning for this trip, I have been thinking back to my May 2010 trip. It was my first trip since 1994, and the first visit for my wife and kids (5 & 2 years old at the time). I had yet to truly "discover" the holy trinity of wdwmagic, easywdw, and disneyfoodblog. We did our best and had a blast.
Fast forward to our September 2012 trip and it was sooooo different. On that trip we realized how much we overlooked on the first trip due to park hopping and running around like chickens with their heads cut off. In the '12 trip we did the following things that we did not in 2010: SSE, Soarin, Maelstrom, 3 Caballeros, Journey into Imagination, EO (wish to God we skipped that), American Adventure, Living with the Land,TSMM, Jungle Cruise, Kilimanjaro Safari, Kali, Peter Pan's Flight, Pooh, TTA, CoP, SpaceRanger Spin. I know, it would have been easier to list what we did.
My question, how many visits before you realized you did not have a clue? I think I am the poster child for stopping and smelling the roses. Anyone else have similar experiences?
