I guess it should come as no surprise that Disney had the market share of happily ever afters and that is where I found happily ever after or at least a really great vacation. A main component was a little program called "Dine and Play" on the Disney cruise ship, Magic.
After spending wonderful days together as a family on the cruise, we would enter the dining room for the late seating and the kids would eat or pick at their food for 45 minutes. At 9pm camp counselors would magically appear and take the kids away to the kid's club. (I even handed them a sleeping child one night.) Hubby and I would enjoy the rest of our meal and then explore the ship's "adult only areas". It was magical. I got to enjoy being with my husband while the kids where well taken care of and having a blast.
We had to pick up the kids by midnight or else they might have turned into pumpkins this being Disney and all. With the time change we weren't completely negligent parents having our 3 and 5 year olds out until the stroke of 12 because with the time change it was only 9pm back home, which isn't far off their normal bed time.
We are home and back in our routine, but with a little faith, trust and pixie dust we will have many more wonderful times together.
