Just wanted to share our recent experience at DL. My daughter's 2 years old and her first visit to the Magic Kingdom. She's been really into the Disney princesses lately and actually just received as a gift the Fisher Price Disney castle with princesses play set the day before we headed to the park.
So we were just walking up to the security check lines when she saw the banners with Arial on it and just started clapping. Great start already.
Since it was going to be her first visit, and we were already planning to upgrade our 4-day tix to AP, we decided not to go on any rides and just let her walk around and possibly meet some characters. She wanted to see the castle, so we went straight to Fantasy Land. We came by the Princess Faire, and there was a short line to meet 3 Princesses, cool! She was so excited, and was clapping and in such awe. The first was Snow White. DD was a little timid at first, so didn't interact much with Snow White. Next was Jasmine, whom she wasn't too familiar with yet. But last was Aurora, and that's one of her favorite. This time she actually gave Aurora a hug and was all smiles, so the trip was already worth it for us.
Next up was Toon Town. There was a really short line for Mickey's house, and we were able to go straight thru to meet the Mouse himself. I was little worried that she would be scared cause she didn't like the mouse from Chuck E Cheese, but nope, she walked right over and gave him the biggest hug ever. She got so many "awes" from the crowd, and didn't even want to let go. I was so happy for her.
On our way out of the park we even ran into Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Donald. She was a little overwhelmed, but had a great time. We were only there for a total of 2 hours, but it was magic the entire time. She's already planning the next trip with meeting Pluto as her top priority.
