Parents! What ride was given new life experiencing it with your child?

[CampbellzSoup]

Just wondering as it's always a blast to see parents and grandparents go through the rides watching the reactions of their kids face.

Just wondering what made the difference for you where maybe you saw/experienced a ride, but with your kids it was that much better?

Dumbo. We "discovered" this ride again about a year before becoming parents, when it was moved and revitalized with the lights and water features. It was so beautiful just to look at at night, much less to ride. But on DS's first trip just before he turned 1, this was by far his favorite experience. He waved his hands as laughed the whole time. On our most recent trip, he (3) asked to "fly" again.

The Tomorrowland Speedway and AstroOrbiter. Anything that goes "fast" like a racecar and a rocketship is just awesome to 3 and 5 year old boys.

3 year old's first roller coaster was the barnstormer. She laughed the whole time. Then 7DMT - same laughing - awesome. BTMR - had to ride it 5 times...Same with splash.

it's a small world. As a 2 year old, DS LOVED this ride. He asked to ride multiple times and would sort of bop up and down dance throughout the whole ride singing along and looking around in wonder. He still loves it, but there is nothing like that first reaction. The ride already signified classic Disney to me, but the experience of watching him experience it made it that much more special.

It's a small world. My daughter LOVED it and we rode it multiple times. She and my son were pointing out everything and trying to tell us what they saw (they both have speech delays so that was pretty awesome). Her favorite animals are giraffes and she was soooo excited when she saw them.

Spaceship Earth. My 7 year old son ADORES this ride, so we go on multiple times. He likes to discuss it in detail, so it has really made me pay attention. And I love the music

This past trip it was Its a Small World. I had no idea how much my kids would love it. my 2yo was pointing to everything excitedly and my 10mo was clapping and swaying with the music, it almost brought a tear to my eye.

I have to say Disney World itself has been given new life since I have experienced it with my child. I went twice as a kid and had a great time but wasn't completely head over heels Disney crazy until I took my son. Taking him on that very first trip I fully expected to be a been there done that type of trip but he fell in love with it and I fell in love with his reactions. So now we are Disney fanatics at our house. He is a regular Disney junkie with Disney movies, Disney toys, Disney parks, Disney cruises, Disney hotels, Disney channel, Disney stuffed animals, etc.
