DISNEY WORLD! It's a destination our family loves, and apparently we're not alone. When we recently watched our favorite reality TV show, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" travel to Disney, we knew we would be in for a treat. How would Jon and Kate deal with 2 six-year-olds and 6 three-year-olds in the massive parks? In the steamy Florida heat? The hour-long episode answers those questions.
Jon and Kate plan to drive their van to Florida, explaining that a flight would be too expensive. They also felt that they needed their van because it is large enough for all of them and has the room for them to take along everything they would need (for the record, they do add a U-Haul trailer to the back of the van for additional storage space).
The Gosselin children are shown excitedly pointing out a "countdown to Florida" chart in the house, where they count down the days until their adventure begins. Kate mentions that this will be the first vacation they have taken since the sextuplets' arrival. They did take the twins to Disney World before the 'tups arrived. We see some cute shots of the kids demonstrating their excitement. My favorite has to be Aaden pretending to be Dumbo: "Me is Dumbo!" Kate tells us that he loves to pretend and has been imagining himself as various Disney characters.
We see the large amount of luggage sitting around the living room, and Mady points the various items out to us. I was amused that she mentioned that they were bringing along medicine, "because we're not going to be eating organic." She shows the various boxes and bags, all neatly labeled, and tells us "When I look at all this, it makes me realize once again that my mom is VERY organized!" Well, she does have a point. No one will ever accuse Kate of being disorganized!

Kate has a Pooh tattoo on her left ankle.

I love there show and they rock!!!
Going to Diseny was hard BUT kates wants her kids to have life experiences cause she didnt!
love you guys!
I can tell you firsthand that Mickey does not give away his ears or any other reproduced part of his anatomy, especially personalized. I stayed at The Wilderness Lodge and did not get a thing but a huge bill. Then we stayed in a Concierge room, thanks to my beloved (sincerely) mother-in-law, in The Polynesian - complimentary beer all day! My son did get a Buzz Lightyear autographed pic for free and some balloons, but only because one of the guest services guys saw us struggling with the then 2.5 year-old.
Disney World and its empire will not miss a trick when it comes to a chance at positive pub, however. I am not that cynical about The Mouse, because we do enjoy it there, but he comes with a price. The show sounds very entertaining. I enjoyed reading your article and may stop surfing around passed it and give it a try! All the best, James

I can't imagine doing Disney World with eight children!! Somehow, it's hard to picture it being a "magical" experience. :) Great recap.
Somebody please - tell me...where did this Jon and Kate come from?!!!!
