Life after Disney retrospect: We were held captive by our annual passes for Disney World. Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Disney Quest, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon and Summer Winterland Mini Golf. We walked, explored and tried it all. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The allure of undeniable make believe in guilded safety. Highlights were the mind swirling sights and sounds of Virtual Games at Disney Quest, the body jolting of Star Tours and the feel of a block party at Million Lights last Holiday Season at Hollywood Studios. Swimming with sharks at Typhoon Lagoon was quietly cool. Disney was easy. You know what to expect. You learn where to go. The last ride of the last day, Max broke his arm. Watch that last step. I think we were just Disneyed out. Eight weeks recuperation and he is a little wiser to take care. Now I have to think and plan more about where to go, see and do. But museums, parks, zoo and botanical gardens await. So away we go.
