It\u2019s taxing on all of us. I know from my position as the spouse left behind that my mind is a constant to-do list, life still needs to go on and households need to run. Children need help with their homework, practice for music, and a ride to baseball. On top of everything, major things always break during deployment. It\u2019s a rule written somewhere. I was drained and missing my husband. My kids were feeling the same grind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, I decided to take the kids to Walt Disney World!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24261\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Disney-During-Deployment-Castle.jpg\" alt=\"Taking the Kids to Disney While the Service Member is Deployed\" width=\"800\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Disney-During-Deployment-Castle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Disney-During-Deployment-Castle-600x318.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Disney-During-Deployment-Castle-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Disney-During-Deployment-Castle-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Disney World is the most magical place on Earth!

Also, from a crazy but practical position, I had one week where I didn\u2019t wash a single dish, vacuum any crumbs, fold any laundry, or scrub any messes!

One fact that many do not know is the SPOUSE can also purchase tickets in the name of the soldier (sailor, airman, marine, guardian, coastie). You will need your Dependent ID card and will need to purchase them through your base MWR, ITT, or through Shades of Green. Once at the parks, the spouse can activate them with their Dependent ID. As the spouse, in many ways, you are serving, too. Disney understands this and shows their appreciation for the family&#8217;s sacrifices through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-discounts\/how-to-get-deep-military-discounts-at-disney\/\">great discounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-military-discounts\/buy-military-discounted-disney-tickets-by-phone\/\">Purchase Long-Distance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rides\"><\/span>Rides<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to taking more than one child to Disney World without the help of another adult, it is really important to know how tall your children are and what the height requirements are throughout the park. Since I have a 2, 7, and 13-year-old, we stuck to the Magic Kingdom because it has the most rides without height requirements of anywhere in Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n<p>A child must be 14 before they can sit in a ride vehicle by themselves or accompanying a child 7 or older in a ride. Any child under 7 must be with an adult 18 or older in a ride vehicle. I am fortunate because my oldest can accompany my middle child, while I take the youngest.

was crazy for taking the kids by myself, but those same people probably haven\u2019t spent cumulative <em>years<\/em> away from their spouse. This was an amazing vacation that allowed all of us to take a breath and enjoy each other! We rode the rides, met the characters, ate all of the food, even enjoyed root beer floats BEFORE dinner! My kids are amazing people. Taking time to spend with these tiny humans that I created in such a carefree environment really gave me the opportunity to appreciate them. When my husband is back we will be thrilled, but this time alone with my kids was precious in a lot of ways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go on, mama!<\/strong> Take the kids. Say yes to popcorn for lunch.
