Trip Inspiration - My Search For the Best Disney World Trips Comes to a Harsh End

Trip Inspiration-What is Trip Inspiration? Some of my favorite Pinterest boards to Inspire your next trip:

My three children were traveling on a Disney cruise ship for their first ever vacation. It was supposed to be a once a year getaway. We wanted to explore the world and meet new friends. It seemed we had everything we needed to make our dream vacation come true. Our passports, camera, sunscreen, adventure books, snacks, and of course, Disney and vacations. A trip around the block from our hotel room in Miami Florida on a rented bus got us to our first destination, an overpriced dive shop off of Commercial Street in Downtown Disney.

After only a few hours of shopping and wandering aimlessly around Downtown Disney, we decided it was time to hop in the car and head for the airport. We had a flight to catch in two days so this wasn't a bad idea at all. We were excited to experience a new town, a new culture, and new people. We had only planned a one-day stay, but somehow, in an instant, we became six people and our luggage was suddenly too heavy to drive. Luckily, we had found our way back to our rental car before we even hit the road. A twenty minute drive later, we arrived at our destination, thecot, and surprisingly, our adventure wasn't over yet!

On our second day away from Disney World, we had decided it was time to check into our hotel and prepare for our "staycation" vacation. We knew that this would mean we would have to take some time off from shopping, but that wasn't a concern for us. Instead, we were looking forward to a relaxing evening at our local hangout, which happens to be just down the street from our hotel. Before we had a chance to plan out our evening, we received a "code" to enter our room so that our hotel staff could change our lock and key. Apparently, the hotel staff saw our excitement as an opportunity to pad their own bank account!

A few weeks after our staycation in Downtown Disney, we had to make another trip back to Disneyland to pick up some souvenirs to take back to our family home. The drive back was even harder than the trip to the local hangout! By the time we got to Disneyland, the day's excitement had worn off. I can honestly say that for most of my adult life, I have never encountered such a disappointing park. I have never been disappointed by Walt Disney before or by anyone else, but this park sure puts an exclamation point on it!

My mission was to find out what other travelers thought of Trip Inspiration. Did it live up to its claim as the best vacation trip? Did my wife and I still think it was a great idea? And were fellow travelers also glad that they had nothing else to do but to read about Trip Inspiration on the Internet or in a travel magazine?
