Ode to Walt Disney World - 2015

Our family went to Disney World in February as part of the Cochlear Celebration Convention. I have started a separate post about the convention, but there was SO much going on at Disney that I figured a little poem would suffice to sum up the trip. (Thanks to Annie Flavin for the poetry inspiration) When people ask me how it went with two little ones, I say it was like childbirth-- painful yet exciting and wonderful. And even though part of you just wants to be home, when you get home you forget all of the painful parts and want to go back and do it all over again :)

 

Ode to Walt Disney World

 

Master packing lists that never fail

Yet still forgetting things utilizing overnight mail

 

Chilly early mornings & late nights

Cranky parents children and spousal sibling fights

 

Buses, planes & monorails

Constant excitement that never fails

 

Hotel rooms, sand pits & a swimming pool

The most basic things were oh so cool

 

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Elsa & Tinkerbell

Parades we are familiar with all too well

 

Naps in strollers & Nemo shows

A luau dinner and swords that glow

 

Oh that ittle bitty Harrison

Can't turn away for one split second

 

Busted noses and busted lips

Lost shoes resulting in shopping trips

 

Rollercoasters, face painting & flying dumbo

Hunter still calls it the "flying gumbo"

 

Never ending fireworks that lit up the sky

Now I see why all their prices are so darn high

 

Are we done yet Hunter? Can we please go now?

Not yet Mama, look Mama, Wow!

 

Disney food, oh the food

Nothing else put us all in a better mood

 

And until next time, forgetting all the meltdowns & fights,

Printing out our memories & counting down the nights.
