Part of our vacation this year included a detour to Disney World. We figured Boden was at a good age to enjoy it and August was young enough to be portable and go with the flow. Since we were only going for one day, we focused on the Magic Kingdom and tried to get our money's worth. Boden and Todd went on most of the rides together while August and I sat on benches or toodled over to Starbucks where the wait was equal to the wait at Space Mountain!! But, hey, there WAS a Starbucks at Disney World so I wasn't complaining.
After Boden got a little uneasy on Space Mountain and the Lilo and Stitch ride, we looked for lower key rides/entertainment and found a few that the whole family could go on like the Jungle Cruise and the train ride. Boden had to do a lot of walking and requested several times to leave and go back to the hotel (no way, Jose) but we kept him moving. He seemed to like seeing the Disney characters best and probably would have really enjoyed the evening parade and fireworks, but after August and I hit up the nursing "parlor" at the on-site child care center (you can't get more family friendly than that!) it was time to head out so we could make it back to the hotel before a melt down. Boden had such a tiring day he fell asleep on the bus back (mission accomplished!) but rallied at the hotel to consume an entire kid's pizza.
