Is turtle talk worth it for 1 year old?

My ds will just be turning 12mon during our trip. He does not watch much TV now, he does not know Nemo(yet!) Should I even bother with the show? Any past experience would be appreciated!

I took mine at that age and when the crowd yelled he got scared and we had to leave. It is in a small room and he was scared of loud noises then, now he loves it.

Thank you for the quick respone, can I also ask when do you do the clam ride part ,before the show? Do you get right off the ride and go to the theater or is it 2 seperate things all together? I just can't seem to visualize this.

its interactive..they ask the kids to sit on teh floor so crush can talk to them..my girls were 3 and they were too afraid to sit in front of the "tank"..i would pass..he'll probably more interested in all the people sitting around him then crush.

My daughter didn't care for it at 10 months. She wasn't into sitting still for anything and it was a struggle to just keep her quiet and still. We passed on most shows after that. I'm sure when she goes back she'll love it though.

I agree that at 12m he won't "get" the interactive part. If he's the antsy type who won't sit on your lap for the show, it might be better to skip it. But *I* enjoyed it a lot. It was one of my favorite new attractions in the last few years. If you think that your DS will tolerate it, you might want to go for yourselves!

The Nemo ride is separate from Turtle Talk with Crush. They're right next to each other in the same building. Nemo is one of my DS2's favorite rides. He could take or leave Crush, he just likes sitting down on the floor with his big brothers-we went when he was 1 also and he was a little scared-he wanted to sit with me in the back.

I also agree he might be a little too young. My DD did not "get" the first time she saw it. The last time we saw it she was four and loved it!

 

[Jennygt]

I think that we might skip it or stay by the exit and if he gets antsy we can leave.

I'd just sit at the back and you can easily slip out. You certainly wouldn't be the first family to do it.

It is most likely not worth it for your 1 year old, but it is for you so if your child is in the mood (or better yet asleep and can be carried it.) Don't miss it. The Nemo ride is good for all ages.
