I have a few things to admit to myself here.  It’s been bopping around in my head for a little while now, and I’m finally taking the time to sit down and write.

1)      The post that I’ve had in mind to write for probably 2 months now is probably not happening any time soon.

2)      It likely wasn’t going to work out the way I wanted it to anyway.

3)      I’m leaving in a week for what I believe is my only trip to Florida, for sure as an adult (Spring Break doesn’t count right?), that doesn’t involve a trip to Disney Parks™.

The three things have a lot more in common than you might think on first glance.  The blog post that I have been meaning to write is one that was intended to answer a question that was in my head, especially as I plan this trip to Florida, and one that I feel has been really prevalent in some of the Disney discussions of late.
