Must see Disney movies before visiting the parks?

[Snooks23]

We are taking our pretty much first Disney trip in July. My DD will be 6 the day we arrive & I think she will like meeting everyone. She's seen all the princess movies aside from Sleeping Beauty. It's on my list for her to see, I just don't remember watching it & liking it so I've been putting it off lol. Anyways, I've tried to watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame a few times & she never seemed to like it.. Finally I got her to watch it last night & she really liked it! She was like "oh my gosh that girl is awesome!!" About Esmerelda. She knows Nemo, Monsters Ink, Cars & the Main disney characters, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pooh & friends, Pluto & such..

What are some Disney movies she must see? They don't have to be animated.

I really want to see Tower of Terror. I feel like if she watches it, she might not feel as scared walking through the que to the ride. Maybe the same for Haunted Mansion.

Thanks!

Has she seen the Lion King? That would be a good one. We are running through them before our trip as well for my 4 year old DS. He knows Mickey and the Disney Junior characters, Cars, Monsters, Inc, Toy Story. But I introduced him to more of the princess movies so he'll know who they are as well.

Don't forget Lilo and Stitch! And maybe the aristocats?

Thought of two more although you may have included them with princess movies, Alice In Wonderland & Mary Poppins. Trying to think of the characters in the parks. Oh and my DS7's favorite, Jungle Book!

We watched Peter Pan for the first time last month & she loved it. She has not seen the AristoCats! Thank you, I will add that to my list.

She has Lilo & Stitch.. She hasn't watched it in awhile. She got it a year ago & watched it straight for like a month.

I can't remember if she watched the animated Alice or not.. I know she has watched the newest one. & ill add marry poppins! Do you think a 6 yo would enjoy that movie?

Oliver and company?

The dog and the boy from Up do meet and greets and I think also some of the characters from Wreck it Ralph so you might want to let her see those two if she hasn't.

We've been making Friday into Disney night for months as we try to cram in every Disney movie we can manage. I'm sure some will say it's heresy, but those early movies are... well let's just say they are hard to watch today. I think we've hit every movie that has any theming at the parks though.

If she has seen the new Alice, you might show her Pirates. How about the Princess and the Frog?

How about the Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Swiss Family Robinson. I wonder if you can get the old Tom Sawyer movie with Johnny Whitaker or Swiss Family Robinson...or if you would still want to for that matter.

Mulan! Lady and the Tramp, Pocahontas, Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood, The Rescuers, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Chicken Little, Brother Bear, A Bug's Life, The Incredibles, Atlantis...
And one of my DD's favorites is Treasure Planet

Cinderella. Having been to the parks with a finicky 5-6-7 year old, this movie was a winner. A plus is that Disney just had a big push for the 50th anniversary for this movie (lot's of merch to buy).

Rapunzel and Belle were also big hits. My DD liked the movies recently and was super excited to see the characters. The fairies were also big hits...

Mulan (some people count this as Princess),Robin Hood,Sword and the Stone,Black Cauldron, Emperors New groove,Fantasia,Bambi,Fox and the Hound,The Many Adventures of Winne the Pooh (original),Lady and the Tramp,101 Dalmatians,Aladin,The Rescuers,Brave Little Toaster,The Great Mouse Detective,Dumbo
