My special place isn’t a quiet place-I don’t like quiet, I can’t relax when it is quiet, I know, I’m weird. My special place is Walt Disney World. Yes, that noisy, colorful, magical hub of excitement is where I go to unwind. I know it sounds strange, but it is true. We have been passholders on and off for the last 12 years. We schedule 3-4 mini vacations throughout the year but some of my favorite trips are our one day escapes. When life gets overwhelming and stress is building up, I just look at hubby and say, “You know what I need?” and he checks his schedule to see if he can join me. Some days I go alone-though I don’t enjoy my solo trips as much as when I have a companion. Sometimes it is just hubby and I or just the kids and I. We just need a Disney day to escape the stress and get a new perspective.

We have rules too. No talking about work/finances/whatever is stressing us out, from the time we get in the van to drive the 90 minutes to the most magical place on earth til the time we pull back into our driveway. After an escape to Walt Disney World I am usually tired but energized at the same time. My problems look different after a day riding It’s a Small World or Soarin’.

Yes, my special place is unconventional, but it is mine all the same. Do you have a special place? Leave me a comment and tell me where it is.
