M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
Ah, just humming the melody to this song can bring a smile to the grumpiest individual, especially if that individual is standing in the middle of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. A WDW vacation is a wonderful way to spend time with family and enjoy all of your dreams coming true! Well, some of your dreams coming true...Okay fine, your dreams may not come true but the Mickey Mouse Chocolate Ice Cream bars are amazing!By this time you're probably asking, "What is the point of this blog?"
Here's the answer...
I have been amazed at how many times I have had to tell myself (silently, in my own head), "Just relax...It's okay...We're here to have fun...It doesn't matter that those people cut in front of me...Oh my, I should not have eaten that giant turkey leg!" I have come to the realization that sometimes vacations can be just as stressful as being at work. This stress often leads to short fuses, and those short fuses, combined with warmer temps and humidity, lead to awesome waiting line altercations. And those waiting line altercations can be funny!
One time my family was waiting for the train at Magic Kingdom. A few men in their 60s jumped the line. You heard me, not TEENAGERS, men in their 60s!!! Anyway, my first thought was, "Wow, that's ridiculous cause we're all gonna get on the train at the same time." Then from behind me a man starts yelling, "Hey, YOU...Yeah, you guys!! Hey! Where are you from?!! Cause I wanna know if line jumping is considered okay there!!"
I thought it was pretty funny.
Another time a husband and wife were enjoying themselves on the motor speedway. The wife was trying to drive but the husband was shouting instructions at her the whole time, "Step on the gas...Turn the wheel...Go faster...Don't hit the curb!"
She finally looked at him, and with all the strength and conviction she could muster she yelled, "I...AM...TRYING!"
All of this to say...let's all just take a deep breath, enjoy every moment, and not let stress shorten our fuses. God made life to be enjoyable...enjoy it!
After all (sing with me) "When you wish upon a star...Makes no difference who you are...Anything your heart desires...Will come to you!"
I'll let you all finish the rest, I'm on vacation.
