Disney Vacation Lessons Learned Part 2

As soon as the lights go down on a 15,000-person amphitheater at the start of a nighttime show, and finding your way in the dark through the throngs of people frantically trying to make it to their seats before the show starts becomes virtually impossible, your four-year-old princess will need to go to the restroom. Immediately.

And, your two-year-old princess will begin to scream bloody murder when you get up from your seat and begin tripping over everyone else in your row to get aforementioned older princess to the restroom because mommy is "leaving" her with daddy - oh, the horror. Between the tripping and the screaming, you will not endear yourself to the people sitting around you.

Oh, and the four-year-old princess will then collide head on with another princess coming around the corner of the restroom, necessitating a trip to first aid and an ice pack on her forehead.

The little princess, having exhausted herself with screaming for mommy, will sleep through the entire show. The injured princess will enjoy the show so much she'll forget about the goose egg on her head until the end of the show, when she'll be really upset that her ice pack is now mostly a water pack.

And one of the people forced to sit behind you through the entire debacle will snap and strangle himself with his mouse ears and a turkey leg bone.



Ah...vacation is synonymous with relaxation, isn't it?

If you didn't have a picture I'd lean towards - oh, Mistie, you're surely exaggerating a little...and then there's the proof. You are a brave, brave woman.

I must say, Injured Princess looks like she's icing her wound with a breast implant! Sorry, I'm just saying!!! ;) I know what it is though ;)

I swear every word of it is true, except for the alleged suicide behind us. That's just a tired guy waiting for the ampitheater to empty out a litle - of course, his family was laughing at him and taking photos, too, so it was a pretty funny scene.

And Kristin, I think it looks to be about a C cup. :-P Good to know that in a pinch, just stick a couple of half-melted ice packs in your bra!
