Must Dos

[miss missy]

Anyone say the train yet?? OMG it is gonna be a big day for Ferris and he doesn't even know it!

Oh and pick a spot that you can take his pic each and every time!! Its so fun to watch them grow and look at the changes. Pick a great spot for that!!

Everyone pretty much said all the rides I would have chosen so I will just say-
Have a great time! Seeing the look on Ferrris' face will be a moment you and Corey won't ever forget. Just make sure Corey takes a ton of pictures!
We will all be waiting to hear how your day went.

I second this. We started taking a picture of our oldest with the bust of Andy Griffin (at DHS) when he was ten months old and he is now eight with a younger brother. It is neat to see how he has changed and eventually he might be holding me up near Andy.

When my daughter was 19 months, she LOVED Small World. I think that will be Ferris' favorite. So many colors and lots of movement, it's like a giant baby mobile! Don't forget to take a ton of pictures. Have fun!

Everyone has had great suggestions for rides.
I will add my voice to those who say to pick a picture spot and photograph Ferris each year in the same spot. It will be great fun to look back through the years to see how he's changed.
Enjoy!!!!!

I think everyone has covered any suggestions I may have, but I just wanted to say I hope you have a WONDERFUL time! What great memories the day will provide

We did not take DD until she was 3, but we also had my 4 month old niece with us. She went on everything we did and was very happy about it all. Too young to be scared by anything yet.

Please share a picture or two with us. What fun you will have! if it were me, I'd be crying...such a sentimental Mommy.

When DD was that age, she looooved fireworks -- still does (probably because she never had a chance to get scared of them). Or your baby might just sleep through them -- amazing how they can do that.

Have a great trip!

Hey Julie - We had trips to WDW with both girls when they were that age and lord only knows they've both been in Disneyland every month since they were born.

This wasn't mentioned at all, but he's a good age for Pirates. We took Zoe on it out here at DL until she was about 18 months old. Then, she developed the fear of the skeletons and we couldn't go on it again until recently. (That means, do it while you can....)

I agree with the train and Jungle Cruise, but don't forget the Tiki Room (didn't see that one mentioned, but if you are worried about the storm part, walk out with everyone else that leaves....)

No one mentioned the Country Bear Jamboree and the Riverboat. Those are great choices, too.

Have fun. Those years were great memories for us with our girls.

My little one loved Pirates of the Carribean. Lots of action, sounds, etc.

Ditto to the starting a pic spot. We used the Buzz Lightyear ship at DHS for years, but couldn't find it last trip. The chair in Minnies house is a good spot, or something kinda big that will be cool to look at after years of photos in the same location.

Also, play areas are great. If he is crawling around he will explore. Want some quiet time while there the movie theater in the back of the exhibition hall is great.

A picture in the same place to compare over the years is definintely a good idea! We started one on accident when we went on our first trip with the older two in 2005 - we ate at Chef Mickey's, and we've been hitting it every trip since. My littlest was not quite five months old when we went last Sept., so we'll really have something to compare him with!

My little guy also liked Winnie the Pooh and IASW. I think he was actually happy just sitting in the stroller and watching as we wandered. I kinda wish for those days now that he's mobile...no where near as happy sitting in the stroller, and he can get up the stairs faster and quieter than anyone I've ever seen!

Have a WONDERFUL time!

Take the train and the paddle wheel boat!

 

[miss missy]

Also, you should pick a spot to take a picture of him each time he goes, to see how he's grown.

great minds think alike

I know your at MK today!
Hope you are having a great time!
There is so much for the little guys in MK, enjoy it all.
And yes it's a small world takes on a whole different light through the eyes of a child.
Let us know how your day went.

Definately the pic spot thing. We used to do it at the indy car but they removed the car so we have to start over.

Our son loved Poohs playful spot, mickeys play area and the boat with water jets, also the play area by splash mountain. was alot of fun for him. He did all the rides at 6 months including pirates, he was too small to realize what was going on. Now at 3 that is another story. Enjoy his reactions to everyone. Definately do the first haircut thing if he has enough hair it is way cool!!

Your little Ferris is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Just take lots and lots of pictures. The days, weeks, years go by so fast. Please share the pics with us!

Blessings,
Susan

Great idea for the photo spot!
Ours is in Crystal Palace- there is a Tigger topiary in the lobby area.
We have taken photos of our boys there since 1996. Now they are 22 & 19 and we just took another photo in January!
I like the idea of Minnie's chair though- that would be cool.

I second the votes for the Country Bears (sit in the back row so you can hold him up a little against the back wall), Small World, Dumbo, Liberty Belle Riverboat and the Railroad.
He may enjoy the street performers too!

Okay, now it's Thursday and you spent yesterday at MK with Ferris. Where did you go? What did you do? Pictures? Curious minds want to know....
