Disney World - 20 Signs that You Need a Vacation from Your Vacation

Disney World is more of an experience than a vacation. That is the first place that people go wrong when they take that trip, they don't understand the difference. A vacation is something you do when you want to rest and relax. Disney World is a place where you go if you want to do a lot of things in a short amount of time. It can be more exhausting and more work than your real world.

I have created a list of things you must know before your trip:

1) Florida is hotter than the surface of the sun. It is located 4 miles from the equator and 7 miles from the sun. (Not actual facts) Even native Floridians can't believe how hot it gets here. (Actual fact) To prepare for that, put on every stitch of clothing you own and stand next to an open oven set on broil for 10 hours and jog in place. Expect it to get hotter than that.

2) Disney World is extremely expensive. A bottle of water (necessary for survival) will set you back about $3.00. Be prepared to open your wallet and allow the suction of the mouse clean it out.

3) People around the world know that Walt Disney World is the #1 vacation destination of the world. They are all here at the same time as you are. No really, they are-all of them. They are standing in line for the buses or bathrooms.

4) There are actual children allowed into Disney parks. They are everywhere. They are screaming, crying and stomping their feet. Kids that aren't doing this are wearing a cloak of invisibility. The best way to prepare for this is to put on a set of headphones blasting the worst screaming, heavy metal music you can find. Play this continually for 47 straight hours. The crying kids will seem like a walk in the park after that.

5) You never have and never will in your life do as much walking as you will do when in Disney World. There really is no way to prepare for that unless you are willing to walk the globe twice. Bring a snack if you decide to try that.

6) You never really know someone until you spend 24/7 with them. You might not even recognize yourself after the trip.

With that being said, here are some signs that you need a vacation from your vacation

1) Returning to your room at the end of a long day and finding that you did NOT get a towel twisted into an animal shape by housekeeping causes you to drop to your knees and bawl inconsolably for 20 minutes.

2) You have an unexplainable and uncontrollable urge to jam a pen into the side of the head of the person you vowed to love, honor and cherish for the rest of your life. No particular reason, just because they are standing next to you, breathing.

3) You fall asleep on the Rock 'n Rollercoaster because you have been trying to stay awake for 7 days straight so you don't miss a moment of the magic

4) While you stand in line for something, you call around and try to find a lawyer to sue the hospital where you gave birth to your children to because no one can convince you they weren't switched at birth. You find it impossible to believe you gave life to these ungrateful brats.

5) You nearly end the life of a Disney employee because they had the nerve to run out of turkey legs.

6) The child you once would have given your life for is now sitting in a stroller and you are using them as a weapon. Your child is now a battering ram to get through the crowds.

7) You risk arrest for assault if anyone even thinks of cutting in front of you in line. The NFL would love to hire you as a line backer.

8) You concern yourself with and are completely distracted and/or bothered by what other people are doing. Where they park, if they pool hop or if they are using a refillable mug from another resort.

9) Your entire vacation is ruined if you don't get something for free. You are unfazed by your family's humiliation at your screaming and demanding because one thing didn't go exactly as you had planned or expected and you expect full compensation for it-including but not limited to a brand new car.

10) The "kid leash" that you bought so you wouldn't loose your child is now being used to drag them through the park. You do resist the urge to hang them with it however.

11) If you hear "it's a small world" one more time you'll jump off the boat and try to drown yourself in the 3 feet of water you're floating in.

12) Although you started your trip coordinating your outfits with the rest of your group (those people that wear the same colors) you find yourself purposefully wearing a different color so you won't be associated with them.

13) You contemplate joining the mob taking out a hit on Mickey Mouse

14) You've already drawn up your divorce agreement in your head. He gets the kids.

15) You deliberately tear the pocket off your husbands shirt so you can justify carrying a tiny sewing kit into the park.

16) You hip-check an old lady with a cane to get a better view of the parade.

17) You stomp on people's feet when entering a theater because they didn't understand the simple directions about moving all the way to the end of the theater and filling all the seats.

18) You decide that "No further boarding of the tram" doesn't apply to you and you try to throw your child onto the moving tram.

19) You honestly believe that you are the only one in the parks celebrating a special event and are mad when the red carpet isn't rolled out simply because you entered the gate

20) You think you are the only one who saved for a long time, sacrificed things, rolled change, clipped coupons and spent a disgusting amount of money to get there. Everyone else must have gotten in for free.

If you find yourself experiencing any one of these things, it's time to go back to your room and have a nap. It doesn't make you a bad person; you just need a vacation from your vacation.
