Doing Disney with Kids of any age

Yes, you will have a good time, and yes you will make memories, but you will also not get there without a few bumps in the road. Ahh, Walt Disney World, The Most Magical Place on Earth. So, they say anyway. We are big-time Disney nerds and go multiple times a year, and every time I go it's my last. The last time I bring my older son, the last time we all come as a family, the last time they are going to get a Mickey bar, the last soda of the week, and so on. There are many meltdowns and many tears, but you know what the best part is about it. I can look in any corner of any park and see another parent losing their shit on their kid because they didn't let them eat another donut. Sadly, we parents think we are going to be there, and it will be sunshine and bubbles (I hate bubble wands), but the reality is that the parents are going to have more drinks this week than any tropical adult vacation because it will help them keep what little sanity they have left. My takeaway from this is to the parents who are there and afraid that their sweet little angels have turned into hells angels while on vacation, well, they have. They are tired, they are hot, they have not walked or waited in line that much in their little lives before (neither have we) and they are being told no to every novelty from every store that every ride dumps into. So, spend the money, big or small they are all going to be the same, take them, have the good memories and laugh at the bad, cause at least you know it is something that is a completely normal and wonderful thing about having kids in Disney World.
