“Chocolate chips and whipped cream for breakfast? Sure!”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s a bit of an exaggeration to say that I turn into a different person when I\u2019m on a Disney vacation, but I definitely accept that my behavior changes somewhat. There\u2019s a sparkle in my eye, a lightness to my steps, and I can\u2019t help but smiling from ear to ear. The magic inherent in a Disney vacation definitely affects me!<\/p>\r\n\t\r\n

“Chocolate-covered pineapple counts as a serving of fruit, right?”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In fact, I started to think about the things I do at a Disney vacation that I simply don\u2019t do in my regular life, not even when I\u2019m on a different kind of vacation. It surprised me to think about how many there are!<\/p>\r\n



I DRINK SODA<\/h3>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Diet soda, but soda nonetheless. We don\u2019t keep soda in my house, and I never order it off the menu when we eat out or take in. But we tend to go on Disney vacations when it\u2019s hot out and we\u2019ve been walking around all day. Something about the cold, bubbly beverage just hits to the spot when I\u2019m traipsing through New Orleans Square in Disneyland Park<\/a>, exploring the area around the Hall of Presidents<\/a> in Liberty Square, or lazing in the sun on Castaway Cay<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n



I LET MY KID EAT SUGARY BREAKFASTS<\/h3>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

In our house, breakfast means a whole grain, a fruit, some protein, and a teensy amount of sugar. But when we\u2019re on a Disney trip, I don\u2019t think twice about letting my kid eat a cinnamon bun the size of her head first thing in the morning. (I still insist on the fruit, though!) Even when we\u2019re on another kind of vacation, I usually encourage her to go easy on the sweets in the morning. But I realize that Disney vacations involve a tremendous amount of walking, whether it\u2019s from the Paradise Pier Hotel to the entrance to Disneyland, or from the Hollywood Studios to the Beach Club Villas, or back and forth each deck of the Disney Dream in order to play the Midship Detective Agency game. That sugar is going to get worked off pretty quickly!<\/p>\r\n



I SAY \u201cYES\u201d – A LOT<\/h3>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

“Can we spend an hour in the Culture of Kawaii exhibit?” \u00a0“Sure, why not?”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m the strictest parent on earth, but I do usually give a lot of thought when my daughter makes a request, from \u201cCan I up stay up late tonight\u201d to \u201cDo you think I should save my money for a big purchase later or blow it all on candy today?\u201d When we\u2019re at Disney, I find myself letting her take the reins. \u201cCan we go on it\u2019s a small world four times in a row?\u201d \u201cSure, why not?\u201d \u201cCan I get fries with dinner if I eat carrots with lunch?\u201d \u201cYou bet!\u201d \u201cI know it says it\u2019s a 60 minute line to meet Mickey and we don\u2019t have a FastPass, but can we do it anyway?\u201d \u201cYou got it, kid.\u201d

\u201cAfter all, we\u2019re at Disney!\u201d
