Nostalgia

Wow. Disney World is big, busy, and tiring, but definately worth it! It's not about me, its about Evan. Seeing his face light up is the best feeling in the world. His initial reactions are priceless. It did take him a couple of days to get used to how busy things would be, but once he did, he started knowing what he wanted to do and helping to make the plans.
The truth about Disney World is that it is a bit tacky. Loud, cheezy, long lines, but what it can offer to overcome all these is nostalgia. My first trip was in 1980 (I went again in '81, '88, '89, and 2002). Did I have fun all those times, but they are trips you never forget. And then to see what Evan is experiencing for the first time, helps bring back the memories and the youth. It also helped to see my parents enjoying it all over again with Evan. To live vicariously through those younger than us is like drinking from the fountain of youth, especially when they are doing something we remember as being so enjoyable. Would I do it again? Definately. (I would live in Disney World - on Main Street - if I could!)
