10 THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT LIFE AND LOVE IN WALT DISNEY WORLD
Okay, so for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter (@PatriciaEimer) or at my Facebook page, I got the really great chance to take a spontaneous trip to Tampa, Florida and Disney World with my darling other half (who keeps threatening to hijack my blog with one of his own), my two kids, and my mommy to celebrate my mom's birthday. And, because I promised her, I won't say which birthday this is in particular. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. Because however old my mother might be (and I'm not telling) she doesn't look it. Even though she's terrified she does.
Anyway, enough about Mom's growing old gracefully. More about what I learned as a romance writer at Disney World. So here it is.
What I Learned on My Weekend in Disney World
1. There's nothing wrong with pretending you can fly for a little bit.
2. Ice cream can be a perfectly acceptable dinner. It's part of the dairy family after all.
3. Sometimes there's nothing like a roller coaster to get your heart pounding
4. Sometimes it's nice just to stroll through Italy and hold hands (even if it's only Epcot)
5. Even if you have the body for it, if you're not 21 you just look silly in a miniskirt and a halter top cut to your navel. And if you've got to use double sided tape to prevent slippage on both sides then you've probably not dressed right for an amusement park.
6. French food is made to be shared. And may possibly own my soul. I'm just saying, if I start writing historical don't be surprised if they're all set in France just so I can have research trips to eat the food. Right, research trips.
7. Spontaneity is really good. Spontaneity is also really romantic.
8. Riding a flying elephant while fireworks go off is a great place to kiss
9. Everyone deserves to find Prince Charming.
10. Into every life, and every vacation, a little rain will fall. Eventually though the sun can and will come out again. Your choice until then is to either hide away and rage against the rain and how it ruined your vacation. OR you can jump in puddles and have a laugh anyway.
I know which one I chose. And still have the wet sneakers and the memories of laughing in the rain with my kids to remember it.
