I've planned so many trips to WDW and haven't managed to go on any of them. DH finally realized how important this is to me though so hopefully it'll actually happen this time and I'm soo excited! This is my first ever PTR so hopefully it's ok! I'd love any other suggestions for WDW with smaller kids, keeping to a smaller budget, and what January is like in WDW!
First, an introduction!
I have spent almost my entire life in Southern California and grew up with annual passes to Disneyland. My children have that same experience and love when we go and hang out at the parks for a couple hours. Hence the title, Land to World. We are experts on Disneyland at this point and are very comfortable getting around. All of my kids have a favorite ride already! I've been to WDW a hand full of times, all of them in summer time and most of them before I had kids.
Favorite Ride: Big Thunder
Favorite Character: Belle (I fell in love with her when I was a little girl when I realized there was a Princess that liked to read as much I did!)
Favorite Disney Movie: Tangled (This movie always me laugh. It's very upbeat and Rapunzel is just fun).
My husband is a Disney convert. He went to WDW once as a kid when Epcot first opened. He didn't like it and hasn't been back to WDW since. He LOVES Disneyland though and is the one that insists we renew our passes each year when I waffle on getting them again due to the cost. I actually think he's really excited about the trip at this point and doesn't even mind me talking about it all the time, even though its MONTHS away.
Favorite Ride: Star Tours
Favorite Character: Gaston (Can't wait to meet him at WDW!)
Favorite Disney Movie: Avengers
My oldest is 6, 7 at the time of the trip. He LOVES Disneyland and, now that he's getting older, is starting to enjoy some of my favorite things. He asked to stay late just to see fireworks yesterday and stayed awake, and happy, through the entire evening. The same cannot be said for the two younger kids! He still isn't ready for any coasters yet, but I'm hoping he'll give SDMT a try when we go to WDW.
Favorite Ride: Toy Story Mania
Favorite Character: Jack Jack
Favorite Disney Movie: The Incredibles (This surprised me. I really thought he'd pick Big Hero 6.. but I guess it's still a Super Hero movie!)
My little Princess is 3 years old, 4 at the time of our trip. She is all about the Princesses, dressing up, meeting the characters, and seeing other little girls also dressed up. I'm hoping to add to her Princess wardrobe through the year. I can't buy any from the park because they are all to long on her! The Anna dress in the photo has gotten to tight even though the length is just now perfect for her. I'm going to try and sew some dresses with a matching dress for her 18" doll which I'm sure she'll love.
Favorite Ride: Ariel's Undersea Adventure
Favorite Character: Elsa
Favorite Movie: Frozen
My baby! He just turned 1 and will be 22 months old at the time of our trip! He is growing up going to Disneyland and is such a great park baby. He loves to people watch and likes to nap in his stroller. He settles down without much problem and likes to go with the flow. We typically leave around his nap time and use his nap as our drive home. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this during our WDW trip though.
Favorite Ride: The train around the park.
Favorite Character: I don't think he has one yet.
Favorite Movie: Doesn't watch TV!
Joining us for at least a few days of our trip is my mother-in-law. She lives with us and is a GREAT help with the kids. We homeschool so it's nice to have someone to watch the baby so I can work one on one with my oldest. She isn't a big fan of any amusement parks but loves spending time with the kids and they love doing things with her. They think every family should have a TT!
Favorite Ride: She's never been to Disneyland with us! I have no idea
Favorite Character: Merida... I think because they have similar, crazy hair
Favorite Movie: Guardians of the Galaxy? She doesn't really watch Disney movies but that is the last one I remember her willingly wanting to watch without a child forcing it
