The author reflects on a recent visit to Disney World with her daughter Ruby, intending to recreate her own childhood magic. However, despite thorough planning and significant financial investment, the experience turned out to be disappointing. Long lines, logistical missteps, and added costs for experiences made the trip feel more like a burden than a joy. The pressure to meet expectations created a sense of frustration, leaving the author feeling inadequate as a parent and questioning the value of the experience.
I left the 'most magical place on earth' feeling like a misfit mom who had been ripped off.
Despite our extensive research and massive monetary investment, I was still doing it all wrong.
