Oh look, an airplane. It’s about to go to Orlando in a few minutes. I’m sure a bunch of crazy kids will be on it, because some weird place called Disney World is there, and apparently kids like that place.

Pray for me. #firstworlddadlifeproblems

PS I’m sure that we’ll have fun, but herding three tired/excited little girls ages 10, 8, and 4 around for a week will be a task. I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Its a good time. Get the ride wait time apps for the phone. They will help out quite a bit.

My recommended scheme. Hit it early, bail at 2, go back at 5 after some time in the pool and naps/rest. Stay until close. Worked well for our munchkins.

Yup. Hopefully Colin clears out pretty quickly.

A little extra fiber tends to clear Colin out nicely.

We packed ponchos. And as wet as its been in Houston these past few weeks, we’re used to it.

We’ll probably go a little later in the morning and stay until 5 or so most days. The high won't be that bad until around Friday.

Have fun! I fly into Orlando tomorrow morning, but I’m not going to Disney. Spending my week an hr NW of there.

The place stops being the Happiest Place on Earth around 2 when the little kids start getting cranky.

You’ll be fine so long as you do one thing. Under no circumstances are you to go in to Orlando. No matter how tempting it might be, do not. The inexplicable traffic is enough to push a rational man to his breaking point. Google maps says that awesome restaurant is only 15 minutes away? Nope. More like an hour. Don’t do it. Disney has everything you need. Don’t leave their property, or if you must, don’t go very far.

Also, enjoy the weather today and tomorrow. If you haven’t seen, we have a tropical storm coming through. Don’t be scared. Just a little more wind and rain than we normally get on a daily basis. You’ll be fine.

Just don't go in to Orlando.

Hit the Toy Story ride first (either to scan your fast pass or to ride it). Good luck, have fun!

Good luck my friend. I’m dreading the eventuality of having to take my son there. We just did Hilton Head Island for the past week. He did great on the planes (had a connecting flight each way so 4 plane rides)

Flying commercial like a proletariat what is this

We use this same exact strategy. Helps with the extra magic hours.

Kids are being fed at Chef Mickey’s now, then immediate bed time. They've been little hellions since about 7.

I’m from Southeast Texas. The rivers are at historically high levels all around my house. The traffic is atrocious. We call anything below a Cat 3 Hurricane a “good reason for a party”.

Orlando doesn't scare me (although we have no plans to travel off the property).

We were supposed to go on Buzz Lightyear’s Dildo Extravaganza or whatever it’s called with a FastPass today, but we ran out of time. Tomorrow is a new day, though.

I sometimes stay low key. Peasant Airways is the perfect way to do it.

Be strong, brother.

There is supposed to be a good newrestarsunt over by jungle cruise. I haven't tried t, but the guys on the Disney Dish podcast liked it.

Haha, hold on to your butts! Wait, wrong ride?

We’re going to the Crystal Palace for lunch, then the Boathouse in Disney Springs for dinner. Five character dining experiences in five days. If these kids didn’t meet a character by the time we’re wheels up out of here, it’s because they were hiding under the table.

I'll have to look up that restaurant you mentioned, though!
