Many consider our family a Disney family. We try to go to Disneyland twice a year. You may think we are crazy, but we have found that Disneyland is a place that our son Patrick will finally calm down and enjoy the moment. So for our family Disneyland is really a vacation. That is when we are in the park, when he wakes up at 5AM just sure we need to be in the park, it isn’t so much of a vacation.

I’ve had a few people ask me about our trips to Disneyland, the latest was my sister. I think we spent an hour just giving her information. At the end of our discussion I asked if she wanted me to write it up, I remembered that I have yet to do that, and since I’ve been trying to get myself to blog I figured I’d make it public so other can see “How we Disney…”

I’ll start out by saying that we live in the Mountain West so Disneyland is much closer to us. We have been to Disney World for Patricks Make-a-Wish trip which was a lot of fun, but we found Disney World to be a little too spread out for what we are used to at Disneyland. Patrick has started to make noise about going to Disney World again (he doesn’t remember the first time), so maybe we’ll head down to Florida and give it a try again. Just thinking about going to Disney World makes me think about all the research that we’d have to do to feel comfortable.

We often joke about going to Disney Paris. Maybe one day we’ll make it there. That is probably the only reason that I’d go back to Paris on my own (that is a different subject).

I’ll end this intro here. As I get time I’ll add to it, we’ll see how much info I can share. Hopefully I can bring some magic to you and your family like it brings to my family.
