DisneyLand or Bust!

As anyone who knows me will confirm, I am a big Disney fan. Not so much the classic stuff like Bambi, 101 Dalmations, but the newer stuff like the Little Mermaid and anything that has come out since Pixar came into the picture.

Even as a kid I always wanted to visit DisneyLand or DisneyWorld; to completely immerse myself in the world that Walt Disney himself built. Well, recently Mom came into some inheritance money. She has determined she would like to take the three of us (and them of course) to DisneyLand, CA.

I was beside myself at the mere mention of this. It's one of those dream come true kinds of things. The problem? Beosig, who is as anti-Disney as they come. We're only talking about spending a week, so not a lot of time.

We were told it could be somewhere else, but the alternate, DisneyWorld is just too much for Kiernan at this age. We would need more time off to do that anyway. Plus, we would need to come up with some other place to go that would interest a two year old as well. So I decided to bargain with him. We will go to California, spend one day at DisneyLand, one day at LegoLand, one day at Sea World and one day at the San Diego Zoo.

Bonuses:
Since Kiernan is only two, he is free for hotel stays, food, and most entry fees for the various places we will visit.

DisneyLand is small enough that I think we could cover the things we wanted to see in one day. Kiernan is afraid to ride on a carousel, and will surely be terrified to try most of the rides there, so no waiting in lines really. He will be to short for many of them anyway.

Kiernan is going through a phase right now where we have to watch "Mike" - more commonly known as Monsters Inc. - multiple times per day. Very recent development. He's a bit obsessed. That in mind, I think he'll be very happy there.


I'll have to post some of the pictures of him with his stuffed Mike we got him for his birthday. Very cute. Ah well, content for another day I suppose.
