DAY TWO, mid-day, taking a breather in our hotel room. Listening to my daughter play with her tiny new Disney figurines. In the distance, the gull-like shrieks of children in the hotel pool.

   I am taking my nieces in October. Can’t wait.

   Smart on taking the breather, I hear it is a marathon type trip.

   I am actually jealous. My daughter is 16 and our trips to Disney are fond memories. Soak it up Jeffrey, these moments are precious!

   Just did the same thing a few months ago. I was initially worried that the vacation would turn into a stressful scheduling nightmare. It was the opposite. My son’s favorite times were playing in the pool and with his new toys. They were my favorite times, too.

   Have a good rest of your stay at Disney.

   Yes, we are all are jealous. Disney is such an amazing place to go to. I sometimes think about venturing there one day. Hopefully, I’ll have the money some day =/.

   It’s hard to enjoy other theme parks as much once you’ve been to Disney World. The details they manage and the user experience they design seems to be best-in-class for families and adults.

   I look forward to taking our daughter when she’s old enough to appreciate it. We had fun just taking her to Sesame Place.

    Seeing your pics on Gowalla brought back very fond memories; it looks like you got there at a time where you were not flooded by too many people. I love seeing the love between you and your daughter (I was and still am a “Daddy’s little girl”).
