There are several classic Disney movies I'd like ds to watch before our trip so he'll have familiarity with more characters and some of the attractions will be more meaningful.

We're watching Peter Pan right now and recently watched Dumbo and Lilo and Stitch.

Others we're planning to watch:
Pinocchio
Beauty and the Beast
Lady and the Tramp
Snow White
Cinderella
(Not sure how many princess movies I can get him to watch. And he has declined The Little Mermaid.)

I'd love to see Fantasia.

What else should we watch?
 
Frozen
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Fantasia
Dumbo
The Three Caballeros
Song of the South (Good luck finding this wonder film.)
Cinderella
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
Sleeping Beauty
Swiss Family Robinson
The Sword in the Stone (very little left in the parks)
Mary Poppins
The Jungle Book
The Love Bug
The Aristocats
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Little Mermaid
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Lion King
Pocahontas
Toy Story
Mulan
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Dinosaur
Monsters, Inc.
Lilo & Stitch
Finding Nemo
Pirates of the Caribbean: (all 3)
The Incredibles
Cars
The Princess and the Frog
Toy Story 3

If your little guy is around 8 or older, I think he'd enjoy Swiss Family Robinson. Also, it makes climbing up the Swiss Family Treehouse in Adventure Land all the more meaningful.

This is one movie that gets forgotten about. I have it saved on my dvr and had my son watch it when he was about seven years old. I had a hard time convincing him that dad can not build this kind of tree house in the back yard. Back then he thought Disney was all about cartoons till he saw this and also the Parent trap which is my favorite.
 

Can I piggy back? How do you watch disney movies? Not much is on netflix streaming that I can find. And the ones I have checked and found are $20 a pop to download from iTunes. I paid that for nemo, but I don't want to pay that for a bunch of movies. Lion king isn't even on iTunes.

I don't really want to own a bunch of DVDs.

Pay more to get netflix discs again for a while? Library?

I check them out from the library.

Thanks for the recommendations so far.

I would check the library, garage sales, thrift store, borrow from friends or parents of your kids friends or even the dvd section of a pawn shop. We have a chain of pawn shops that has them for two dollars on Tuesdays.
 
Pirates of the Caribbean: (all 3)

there are 4 (Unless you are counting Davy Jones as a two parter.)
Curse of the Black Pearl (Barbossa)
Deadman's Chest (Davy Jones pt1)
At World's End (Davy Jones pt2)
On Stranger Tides (Blackbeard)
 
We're working our way through these. We've seen 17 on the list so far.

Watching Honey I Shrunk the Kids tonight and have 12 more either on hand or on reserve at the library. Since our trip is in just 16 more days I don't know if we'll make it... May have to double up some days and watch two!

We're skipping a few (for some reason my 8-year-old son isn't interested in watching The Little Mermaid :confused3 :)) but I'm making him watch Cinderella. I think he'll like the stepsisters and the mice.

He LOVED Swiss Family Robinson. I hadn't ever seen it. It will certainly make the treehouse more interesting when we visit.
 
Two weeks until we're in the World (woohoo!!!!) and we're making good progress on the list.

We have really been enjoying these movies and there are several I've never seen before.

Tonight we watched The Sword in the Stone, Saludos Amigos, and we're watching The Three Caballeros right now. I don't think I've ever seen any of these movies before, although I was familiar with Pedro the mail plane and Pablo the penguin.
