Now what??<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can be extremely overwhelming,
especially if you haven’t visited in a long time. Gone are the days of simply
showing up and hoping for the best. These days, the savvy Disney-goer has
booked dining reservations six months in advance and chosen specific days and
times to FastPass favorite rides well before arriving on Disney property. <o:p></o:p><br>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After visiting Disney many times, I've figured out exactly
what I need to bring with me into the parks. I'd love to be one of those people
who don't carry bags around Disney, thus skipping the inevitably long bag-check
security line at the park entrances, but it's just not practical for our
family.<o:p></o:p></div>

FastPasses have certainly changed over the last ten years or so. Those of us who have been visiting Disney for a long time remember the days before the Fast Pass even existed. If a park was crowded, you’d just have to stand in line for the attractions you wanted to enjoy. Other than trying to enter the parks right at opening, there wasn’t much you could do. With the growing popularity of the parks, guest satisfaction began to decrease after people realized they were spending too much of their vacation waiting in line rather than enjoying the attractions.<o:p></o:p><br>

I titled this post after a fantastic tshirt I saw someone wearing during the Disney Princess Half Marathon. It was around Mile 6 or so, and I came upon her with those words printed on the back of her shirt: "Suck it up, Princess."<br>
<br>
It was just the motivation I needed during that mid-race slump I felt myself falling into. So, I sucked it up and finished.<br>

The baby had only just turned a year old the last time we were here, so now that he's 2-and-three-quarters, he has a much greater appreciation of everything.<br>

<span lang="EN-GB">When I think of Beaches & Cream, I think of overindulgence. Maybe it’s because they offer a dessert called The Kitchen Sink that is possibly the biggest dessert in the universe (they even turn down the lights and make a big deal of bringing it to the table). Maybe it’s because they have all kinds of refreshingly un-fancy and delicious diner food. Or maybe it’s because there I once devoured an entire foot-long hot dog and French fries without a second thought... and also an embarrassingly-giant ice cream sundae drenched in drippy, mouth-watering peanut butter and chocolate called the No Way Jose. Mmmmm....</span><br>

<span lang="EN-GB">**Since this post was first written, we have had another child and taken him to WDW as an infant AND as a toddler. Both experiences were fantastic!**</span><br>
<span lang="EN-GB"><br></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><br></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Many, many people thought we were a little crazy for taking our son to Disney World for his 2<sup>nd</sup> birthday. </span><br>
<span lang="EN-GB"><div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br></span></div>
If we’re completely honest with ourselves we’ll admit that it was more for us than for him; after all, we hadn’t visited WDW since I was pregnant. Going 2+ years sans WDW trip is a really long time for us. And we probably would have gone sooner if not for all the people telling us not to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Then we realized that it’s our family and our money and our vacation and we can go where-ever we like. Which is, of course, Disney World. So we booked a vacation for early September 2008, just before our boy turned two years old.</span><br>

Crystal Palace gets mixed reviews, and I’m not really sure why. We really enjoy this place. It’s located at the end of Main Street with a full-on view of Cinderella Castle. The food is an all-you-can-eat buffet (what’s not to like about that?), and the Winnie the Pooh characters are there (Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore).<br>
<br>
And really, can you beat this view???<br>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><b>What we say:</b> Who cares if they don’t remember it? Mom and Dad will! And this is a lame argument in my opinion. A young child isn’t likely to remember any vacation, so does that mean you should stop visiting grandparents or taking other trips? No way! Disney is appropriate for any age. And so what if they don’t remember? They will surely enjoy the experience while they are there. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">People are different and families are different. Everyone has his own idea of what the “best” vacation is, and the following is ours. It may not be right for your own family, but we thought sharing our “Disney rhythm” – the way we do it – might be helpful to others planning their own vacation.</span><br>
