The great compromise

The great compromise 

When I was pregnant with Coyle one of the first things people said to me was “you’ll have to give up your traveling and start going to Disney World instead”.  At the time I said “no way” but of course I now have a “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” obsessed kid which makes “no way” a little harder to say.  So here it is, our great compromise for this trip - Hong Kong Disneyland!  

We flew into Hong Kong on Wednesday and have spent the last few days in Disneyland. Coyle has been having a blast and so am I. This place is completely over the top. It’s a lot smaller than Walt Disney world which is really nice. We’re staying on the property (there are 3 hotels) and we ended up with a free upgrade to a suite which is just nuts. Coyle is obsessed with the fact that we have 2 bathrooms!  It’s certainly a different experience to be living large on a vacation. Yesterday we spent the whole day at the park. Coyle loved the tea cups, carousel and the boat ride (it’s a small world). I am still trying to get that ridiculous song out of my head. The hotel also has the chance to say goodnight to a character before bed so we’ve been able to see Mickey and Minnie in their pjs!  

This morning we were woken up early by the blaring alarm and announcements yelling that we had to evacuate the hotel. Carrying  Coyle downstairs from the 7th floor was not the way I planned to start the day!  He was very upset that he didn’t have shoes and “forgot to take his jammies off”. 

When we were let back in the hotel we did some early morning tai chi with Goofy before heading out to the park again for more rides. It’s been raining on and off our whole time here so we’re going to have some fun around the hotel this evening before heading out for our very long flights home tonight.
