Thank you!! That's a great idea about listening to the park music and YouTube. I've also heard about the "Sing-Along Songs
Disneyland" DVD on
Amazon and I'll probably use that to try and indoctrinate...errr, I mean...educate and inspire him to recognize the characters.
Sounds like you have a great attitude towards trip expectations. I'm working on reshaping my expectations - I'm trying to remind myself that this trip will be unlike any we've taken before, and that it will be all about going with DS's flow. If I don't get to ride my beloved EE, for example, I will survive!
I, too, can't wait to see the look on my DS's face. I know it will be better than any thrill ride could ever be!
I think I change my mind daily about where to stay, but POFQ appeals to me because of the small size, and we've never stayed in a moderate. I've considered starting a PTR of my own, but I think I'm too much of a newbie, as far as post count goes anyway!
