"Maybe we should see if elders get a discount." Bruce smirked at Tony as the group approached the ticket booth. Tony narrowed his eyes.

"Rude. Maybe I won't pay your admission after all. Money doesn't grow on trees, you know." Tony shot back dryly. Bruce feigned hurt.

"You should be happy I'm even here. This place is for children." He told Tony, glancing at the sleeping Peter in the stroller. Tony snorted.

No matter how much he denied it, Bruce liked spending time with Peter. So when Tony had mentioned a trip to Disney World, the doctor was in almost immediately. Unfortunately, Tony hadn't realized before how hard it was to drag Peter's favourite people across the country.
The only one who'd stayed behind was Natasha because she "refused to babysit a bunch of man babies in a place with actual sweaty children and crying babies."
Tony was just thankful it was one less person for him to watch out for.

"Come on, Bruce. This place isn't for you, it's for Peter. And I know you'd cross the globe for Peter." Tony turned to hand the money for their tickets so Bruce wouldn't see his smirk.
The group was silent while Tony paid and handed the tickets out. "One for me... Pepper, here's Peter's... Steve... Where'd Steve go?" He turned around in a circle to search for his friend.

Clint shrugged, taking his ticket and reading the words.
"We already lost Steve?" Tony asked blankly. The group looked around, spinning in circles a few times before agreeing.

"Yeah. We lost Steve." Thor confirmed loudly. Passerbyers stared. Tony sighed.

"Okay, that's fine. He can't have gotten far. Like literally they wouldn't let him in, I have his ticket. We'll just... He'll turn up." Tony was trying not to panic. It'd only been five minutes since they arrived at the park and already he'd lost a member of the group. He glanced at the sleeping Peter, as if to make sure he hadn't sleepwalked away.
Someone suddenly tapped his shoulder and Tony jumped a foot into the air.
"I need a ticket to get in, don't I?" Steve held his hand out for the slip of paper and Tony grumbled.
"Where have you been? Never mind, I don't care. Stay close. Hold onto Peter's stroller. I have too many people to watch and I don't want to lose anyone." He pointed to the stroller.

Once the Steve debacle was fixed, the group was ready to head into the park.
"Peter will wake up soon, let's do the bigger rides while he sleeps." Bruce pointed to the map excitedly. Tony grinned.
"Not a child, huh?"
Bruce flipped him off and Tony could feel the burning glares from parents around him. He chuckled softly as they began to line up for rides.

Halfway through the day, Peter had woken up. He hadn't known he was going to Disney, so after the initial shock, he'd insisted on standing in every single character line they passed.
Seriously, Tony was starting to think the kid has a thing for lines.
"Is Goofy a dog?" Peter asked Steve as they stood in line to meet Goofy himself. Steve tilted his head.
"I guess so?" He wasn't too sure himself. Peter seemed to be thinking hard.
"If he's a dog, why does he walk on two feet and Pluto walks on four." He asked.
Steve opened his mouth to respond but he realized he didn't know the answer, so he looked desperately at his friends for help.
Everyone else shook their heads. Vision looked like he was short circuiting.
This started an hour long heated argument between Bruce and Tony about anthropomorphic animals. Peter smiled and clapped along, as if this had been his plan all along.
Steve wouldn't doubt it.

By the end of the day, all the adults were exhausted. Except Thor and Vision, who were energetically tossing Peter lightly between themselves while the group waited for the light show.
"They're going to drop him." Pepper said lazily, but she didn't make any move to stop them. Clearly, she put a little too much faith into the God and the robot. Tony waved a hand.
"I've got him." Wanda yawned, sticking her hand out when Peter slipped, lifting him with magic. Peter cheered.
"Can you not do that here?" Steve crossed his arms, checking his phone. "Can't we just go back to the hotel. I'm exhausted. I feel like I've met every Disney princess in this park."
Just as he finished his sentence, the show began and the group chose to ignore Steves comment. When they were finally leaving the park, Tony lifted a sleepy Peter.
"Did you have a good trip? That was only one park. We still have 3 more to explore!" He told him to which Peter threw his arms up in sleepy excitement.

"3 more?" Steve asked horrified. The rest laughed.
"We all ready?"
"Wait, Vision and Wanda are slacking." Bruce jerked his thumb in the direction they'd come from, only to find them clinging to each other.

"Whoa, robot love. Not okay for your pure eyes, Peter. Come on." Clint grabbed Peter from Tony and the group laughed as Wanda blushed behind them.
"Get a room.." Bruce agreed.

Now this, this was a first family vacation, Tony thought, smiling as he looked around. How could it get any better than this?

A/N: Cute chapter based loosely off my recent trip to Magic Kingdom. At the top I have included the 2018 light show music for Magic Kingdom bc I love it and I want to share it with the world.
