Bottom line: we had no regrets in taking this vacation. It was as if we were experiencing two magnificently different vacations at the exact same time — my husband and I off enjoying remote, tropical paradise while our kids were busy doing Disney.
You'll return to reality refreshed, and unlike a visit to Disney World, your back won't be aching and your feet won't be sore. Sure, it's still a family trip in that my husband and I spatted more than a few times about typical parenting stuff (namely, "you didn't put sunscreen on her already?!") and I had to clean vomit out of my hair at least once, but my goodness, did it feel great to not need to emotionally and physically recover from a Disney vacation. If that doesn't describe the real happiest place on Earth, I don't know what does.
