Some people say I am just a big kid. This is especially true when I am given random little opportunities to torment my kids. It doesn’t matter to me that my baby is now a senior in high school and my oldest is 25. I treat them the same way I always have – I terrorize them!
When we visited in 2000, they were younger and we went in June so it was very hot. I went to my local discount store before the trip and bought us each a spray water bottle to help keep us cool throughout the day. When we would take a rest break, it never failed that one of us would take out our spray bottle and, once the crowd parted the line of fire, start the attack! We had so much fun and those are great memories.
We always visit in the Fall now so I don’t take spray bottles even though I think we would still have just as much fun with them. There is one way in particular I can still get my fix when I am at the parks with my kids: surprise squirts. There are two opportunities for this free play time that I am particularly fond of: one at the Flying Carpets of Aladdin ride in the Magic Kingdom and one at the bridge over the Kali River Rapids ride at Animal Kingdom.
At the Magic Kingdom, just find the large gold camel that is turned away from the magic carpet ride in Adventureland. He has a bad spitting habit – especially with my kids around (tee hee). I think it’s a shame how my camera only stops working when they pose for a picture right in his path. Then I have to make them pose in front of him again for a retake. Thankfully, they are good sports and they let me annoy them once in a while.
We also really enjoy the Kali River Rapids at the Animal Kingdom, unless it is 50 degrees outside. When I sacrifice my fun and sit out I always find my favorite spot on the bridge right before the end of the ride. There is a button there that you can press to make the elephant spray water on the riders below. Be sure to have someone else standing by at the ready with camera I hand.
There are endless opportunities for fun at Disney World. The rides are awesome but sometimes it is the little surprises along the way that really add great memories to your trip. That is, as long as you know where to look. Don’t forget to look for these two gems during your next trip and have a little extra fun!
