We’re leaving on Saturday super early for Disneyworld. . . I am beyond excited! : ) My whole family is obsessed with Disney and I haven’t been to Disneyworld in a while. And this is the first time Ty will visit a Disney park and be able to enjoy it (hopefully). We are going with my whole family from my dad’s side, I think there will be 12 of us ages three to seventy-something (that’s sad, I don’t know how old my grandpa is…hmmm). I am an emotional wreck right now because of the following:
1: I am way excited, duh!
2: I am super nervous. . . This is where being a mom sucks. I am really freaked out about the airplane ride over there, it is a long ways and Ty has never flown anywhere before. I think he will be ok, but I don’t want to get stares from everyone when Ty throws a tantrum because he has to stay in his seat for 5 hours. I went over board and bought about $200-$300 worth of stuff just for the airplane, I got everything, crayons, coloring books, reading books, doodle pads, sticker books, hot wheels, things so he can practice tracing and writing etc. Just crap. But I want it to go well, everyone says he might fall asleep, but I don’t think so. We will see.
3: I am still super nervous because I am afraid I will loose Tyler. I know it sounds bad but its something I don’t think people understand fully until you are a parent. Disneyworld is HUGE and kids do not always listen and behave, I like to think that Ty is a good kid and listens most of the time, but what happens if he sees something and just runs off? What happens if I don’t see him and someone takes him? We have been practicing like crazy that he needs to hold my had literally every second we are out of the house, and I got him a new stroller to sit in, which he loves. So we go to the mall a lot and “practice.” I think we’ll be ok.
4: I am sad/happy because my uncle, aunt and 2 cousins from TX are coming! I hardly ever see them and our family is really close so it is weird not to see family members for years at a time. My uncle is/was the coolest uncle ever and we were really close and then he moved to TX when I was 12-13ish which, for me was like a divorce because of the age I was. It was really bad timing and to be honest I cried a lot when he left. Since he moved I’ve only seen him 3-4 times which is horrible. So I am really happy to see him but a part of me thinks that when we leave I will cry (again) because I know I wont see him in a year or five.
I think it will be a good trip overall but i am still kind of stressed out.

Won't he be there for your wedding? That's less than a year!
As someone who has flown to Disneyworld with two children, not her own, I understand your stress. You pretty much have done everything you can do, just remember not to stress too much. Just keep your eyes on the T man and you'll be good to go!
