Mary Poppins

[TheGoofster]

OK, so we are planning to be at WDW for the first time as a family this December. My kids know nothing about this, it is going to be a big old surprise for them. So I figure that we will start renting all of the Disney DVD's, and subtely get the kids familiar with all the Disney characters before we go. So last night we started with Mary Poppins. I knew my daughter (6) would like it, and sure enough she loved it. But, I wasn't so sure how my son (9) was going to like it. I figured there would probably be some parts that he would like, and others that he probably wouldn't. Boy was I wrong. He couldn't stand any of it, and he made sure to let us know throughout the whole movie just how bored he was. He did have to watch the whole thing, and at least now he is familiar with the main characters, but if this bodes of what is to come, it will be a long year trying to prepare him for WDW.

When my son was younger we had the same problem...thinking he wouldn't have fun at the parks but you know what when we got there he had a blast!

When you go to WDW we found Mary Poppins back in Fantasyland behind the carosel. I got the cutest pics of DD with her.


Have a great time! He'll have fun regardless of what he watches. When my DS was his age he liked the goofy movies or cartoons. They are pretty funny!

Have a great time planning!

He'll be fine. My son always hated what he called "girl movies". He never got into characters.He has been to WDW at ages 3, 4, 14, 16, & 20 and he had a great time, every time. Good luck! Once he gets there i'm sure he'll love it.
