My son went at 2.5 and he did see both MSEP and Wishes that trip. He had taken a nap prior to us going to the park. It was our travel day and we had an early flight. He napped for about an hour before we started touring around 4. He loved the night time stuff at MK. He was waving at all of the characters during the parade and loved the music. We have not been to Fantasmic. Maybe show the video on YouTube. My son’s reaction to the YouTube video let me know He wasn’t ready for that.
He does pass out cold right after the last firework goes off though. The two times he has seen Wishes when it was at 10, he went out during the applause. He also has some headphones that block out some of the noise. He has sensitive ears though and wears them most of the trip. His sister also has sensitive ears but only needs her headphones during fireworks.
My son was a good stroller napper at 2; plus that trip was 9 nights so we were out later either at a park or at the pool. At 3 not so much; so we were in bed early every night. We actually didn’t see Wishes on that trip; but not because of him. My 10 year-old didn’t want to go back to the park after our break.
He loved all of the rides he could go on and we did everything without a height restriction in MK except Astro Orbiters. Still haven’t gotten on that. I’ve never been willing to stand in that line.
We haven’t been on the Ellen ride at Epcot or Spaceship Earth at Epcot. No particular reason for not going on the Ellen ride. He has issues with the dark so we haven’t done Spaceship earth. He enjoys the other rides and shows at Epcot. I think his favorite country in World Showcase is Germany because of the train display. He also loves the splash pad at Epcot. He got soaked there at age 2.
At DHS his favorite thing was Toy Story Mania even though he just sat between his sister and me and didn't play. He enjoyed all of the shows; but of course loved the Disney Jr. show the best. We also do the Disney Jr. meal there. I think his favorite thing in AK is seeing all of the animals roaming around.
At 2.5 he was good with most characters; but he was nervous around a few of them; but all that meant for him was that I needed to be in the picture too. At 3 he was all in and didn’t even need me at all. Below he's with Sorcerer Mickey at 2. His sister preferred to play on the computers in the room; so I had to go with him. We had a tropical storm that week so I was a mess; but he looked good.
A year later with Sorcerer Mickey at 3. Didn’t need his sister or me.
Goes to show a lot can change. He was a blast at 2 and 3 though.
