Just remember it's not Disney World. At least when they shake you down at the magic kingdom you get a t-shirt and Mickey Mouse ice cream cone.

Sounds like a hastle more than a vacation....I have been through most of Europe backpacking without incident (almost pickpocketed in Spain) and I have been to the Carribean...the difference is I didn't have 2 small kids with me which is why I am concerned. Not sure this trip is gonna be worth it.
