Vacation Junkie Confession

While on vacation, I realized it isn't the theme park, the characters or even the food that keeps us coming back to Disney World year after year. It's the SERVICE! The customer service at Walt Disney World and their resorts is addictive and we have come to expect that same level of service on every vacation we take!

Given the HIGH volumes of people, especially children, you would think of litter, smells and burnt out employees. No such thing at Walt Disney World, at least not in our experience the past four years. Sure, maybe an occasional employee's personality doesn't "mesh" with ours, but they still are happy, excited and willing to serve. The parks are immaculate, and employees at all levels go out of their way to make your stay magical and memorable.

Okay, free advertising aside. Just felt a need to explain why we keep going back!

This years trip was super special and unique as it was our first visit to the newly opened Fantasyland with their addition of several new rides, castles and restaurants. We've been home only a few weeks and I'm already ready to go back! Hi, my name is Ashley and I am a vacation junkie!!

A few photo highlights of our trip this year....

We enjoyed characters and rides, food and fun. 7 days flew by and none of us were ready to come home. Overall, I think I made seven homemade skirts, 5 shirts, two dresses, two messenger bags to coordinate our clothes for the week. I ran out of time or we would have all matched all week :) Yes, I know I am a dork, and I'm okay with that!
