I hate that "They are too young" line people use!

That doesn't even make sense to me! We took our 2.5 year old in Dec (TR in my siggy) and everyone acted like we were wasting money. Well, its April and she STILL talks about going on that trip and randomly tells me about how she wants to go back and do or see things at the Magic Kingdom. They are building memories now. Plus... WE have those memories of her first glimpse of the castle or how excited she was to ride the buses. I hope you guys have a fantastic trip!

My DD was almost 3 on her first trip.

And while she doesn't remember it specifically, she loves looking at the pix. Me too! And all the pix I've taken during her 11 trips. She's 11 now.

I can't wait to read more......

its starting to just make me giggle now. we took my daughter when she was 2 and she does remeber a few things but we have some great memories from that trip

well we've taken a long time to save for this trip and spent a long time planning. I booked the trip over a year ago so it seems so strange now to be counting in days. my DS doesn't know were we are going or even that we are going somewhere at all i don't think my my DD is getting excited now and to help her understand we now have mickey mouse heads with numbers on the fridge counting down the days till we go. Helps make her even more hyper than she is.

well i booked all out TS meals in November and hubby has decided this week to look at the menus and decide that he doesn't like some of them but as i asked him almost 6 months ago which he would like and he said "just book which ones you want and it will be fine" i am now ignoring him and we are sticking with what we have.

we have booked a lot of buffets as its easier with the kids as they can chose what they want a lot of them also have characters so hopefully they will enjoy them. will post a list of meals when i post the plan
