I have been a Disney fan for as long as I can remember. My Dad fell in love with Walt Disney movies as a child and passed his love for them on to me.
We took three WDW family vacations growing up and I have wonderful memories from those trips. Well maybe I don't have "wonderful" memories from the first trip. I can just remember my sister constantly wanting to eat, my Dad limping on his broken foot and that I had to pee frequently (just a little nervous excitement). Mom was the only normal one on that trip. All the same, my family was hooked.
Two years after DH and I were married we took a trip to WDW and I passed the Disney bug to him. We took three additional disney trips before our DD was born and we enjoyed going on as many rides as possible. Now that I have my DD my idea of a favorite Disney moment has changed. Here are my current favorites of "Disney with Kid":
In January 2007 DD was 13 months. She got her first haircut at the Mainstreet Barber shop by Penny. DD loved the stickers that Penny put all over her clothes (stickers taste good). DD also loved Its a Small World. She bounced on my knee all the way through the ride. The splash pad at Donald Duck's Boat was also a hit but character greetings went badly.
In February 2008 DD age 2 was when we went to Disneyland. Characters were now OK. DD loved getting autographs and having her picture taken with the characters. Her other favorite activity was riding King Triton's carrousel. The sea creatures are beautiful and her face beamed while riding a purple whale. For this trip as long as we stayed away from Dark rides (and there are alot of them) all was well.
In April 2009 DD now 3 and very brave! She loves Big Thunder Mountain RR and Mickey's Philharmagic (DD:"I thought Tinkerbell was going to land in my hand"), and Test Track. Fear of ghosts is keeping her out of the Haunted Mansion for now. Disney with DD has taught me to slow down and enjoy the confetti on the ground, sit on a bench and enjoy a Mickey's ice cream bar and to spend time watching my child's face as she takes all the magic in.
