Disney World Adventures

It's Mother's Day and while there is much to be done to recover from our vacation, I'm having a slow morning.  So, rather than do laundry--doesn't it seem wrong to do laundry on Mother's Day? I thought I'd give a brief run down of our Disney Adventure.

Overall assessment Disneyland v. Disney World:  I'm very glad we did Disney World, the girls were the perfect ages for it and we had a great time.  At the same time, I don't know that we'll go back.  It's a long trip.  While it's fun and different from Disneyland, I'd rather go other places and do long weekends at Disneyland.  It should be noted the girls do not agree.
