Hi Ho...Hi Ho...It's off my Rocker I go...

This Saturday, my wife and our twins and I head off for a week in the most magical place on earth. No, not Tijuana -- I'm of course talking about Disney World.

This will be our first official 'family vacation' -- our road trip to the Florida panhandle to visit Kim's dad, as far as I'm concerned, didn't really count. Nor do little 'spurts' up to Massachussetts or CT. We're leavin' on a Jet Plane, though thank god I know when we're comin' back again.

I remember years ago there was a commercial where a couple brings their son to the airport, making him believe the dad is off on some business trip. They ask him to come aboard the plane to check it out and when he is shocked to see them close the airplane door, they announced they are taking him to Disneyworld.

Clearly, we should have done the same thing.

We made the tragic mistake a few months ago of telling 'Frick and Frack' that we were taking them to Disney, and its been non-stop "are we going yet" ever since. As the time has gotten closer, they've gotten more manic. I swear, I believe they learned about the names of the months just so they would be able to say "It's January, yay we finally go. Let's go now!"

Of course, Matthew has decided that he will only enjoy Disney if he has absolutely no contact whatsoever with "Big Mickey Mouse" or any other costumed character. Uhh, sorry there Matt, we'll bring a friggin blindfold. He is okay if he gets to say hi to Ariel the little Mermaid however. The only problem is I can't tell if its because he wants to kiss her or wear her costume (both of which he's mentioned).

We'll be gone a week, traveling with our friends and my godson -- we'll be doing the Magic Kingdom, Universal and maybe SeaWorld. And then we'll come home where I'll cry softly to myself while in a fetal position.

Kidding. I'm sure it will be fun.

Anyone have any disney tips or advice to offer?
