Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
โStop whining, what do you want to do next?โ
I could feel the frustration in this motherโs voice as the words echoed from her lips amidst the crowd in Disneyโs Animal Kingdomยฎ Theme Park.
The child barely got their mouth open to answer before their mother chimed in with, โyou know what I donโt care what you want to doโฆโ
I am sure you can guess that this frustrated family was not smiling.
Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort, Disneylandยฎ Resort and Disney Cruise Lineยฎ are amazing vacation destinations, second to none in quality and service. There truly is something for everyone. ย But as with any destination so large and so popular it is easy to allow frustration to set in and begin to โstealโ away priceless memories with your family and/or friends.
Between the crowds, the fatigue from trying to โdo it allโ, the weather, personality clashes and unpredictable moments; it is easy to take away from the excitement of being at โthe Happiest Place on Earthโ.
What can we say, we are about full disclosure.
The best advice we can offer, โDonโt sweat the small stuffโฆand it is all small stuff.โ โ R. Carlson
While I donโt know about you and your family, it seems like the things that frustrate my family the most on our trips become the things we laugh about the most when we get home. From squirrels stealing our food to bird droppings in our hair and the occasional โsour appleโ person weโve encountered, weโve had plenty of situations to steal our fun.
We can become the frowning family in Disneyโs Animal Kingdomยฎ Theme Park because we let our situations get the best of us, or we can choose to be the family with mouse ears perched atop our heads and turkey legs in our handsโฆlaughing our way through the good, and the bad.
A trip to Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort, Disneylandยฎ Resort or Disney Cruise Lineยฎ does not happen every day, and learning not to sweat the small stuff will help you make the most of your trip and the time you have there with family and friends!
One way to help relieve a lot of vacation stress is to allow your Magic Makerยฎ to help you plan and prepare for your trip, from itineraries to dinner reservationsโฆall at no cost to you! Be prepared, take time to rest, and remember not to sweat the small stuff, and you are certain to make the most of your time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
