I loved the update! We just booked the Pop so I am loving your pictures of it.

Thank you for the heads up about the ducks. My kids get upset about birds too... We had a bad experience with seagulls divebombing us,(we use to live in Traverse City, they are abundant up there) and my DD is TERRIFIED!

Thanks for the great report, I have really enjoyed reading it. My youngest is 2.5, so it's nice to read about another "princesses" trip!

Great report so far. We're taking our two yr old in march still not to sure how she's gonna do. It's good to see that we're not the only crazy ones out there

I cannot count how many people have told us we are crazy for taking our kids this young.....they will be four and two when we go, but man, if we would have had the money before this we would have gone already! Its like people think you can't possibly enjoy WDW with young kids??

I can't wait for the next update!!! I would LOVE to see more pics of the pop!

I'm realizing that my DD is more like Tinkerbell than a princess! Thanks for following along!

We took DD the first time when she was 17 months old and people thought we were nuts! They think we have since lost our mind because we took Baby B when he was so young. I think some people think you should sit at home when you have small children.

I agree. People think that just because they won't remember every detail it's not worth it. We look at pictures at least once a week and talk about our trips there. We have fun while we are there and *I* will remember what a fun time we had going there. Oh well, some people just don't get it.

Hey all!

Thank you for all the comments! I hope to have our last park day up tonight.

 

[GreatBiscuit]

I'm enjoying your TR. I'm glad to see you guys realized what your DD's limits were and worked around them. I think that's why your trip was a success as opposed to the "We are paying good money to be here, now quit crying and let's ride" approach.

 

[IluvXU]

I am so impressed in all you did during your trip! So much fun reading and seeing!

Definitely! We are planning on taking our DD when sometime between 2 1/2 and 3 years old (got 1 1/2 - 2 years to wait!).

It's wonderful reading that not only is it possible to take a child that young, that they can also enjoy themselves (and you can too!).

Great read!

Just found your tr. Your children are adorable. I just want to hold that beautiful baby boy of yours...so cute. Looks like you are having a pretty good time so far, minus the mean guy

 

[MaryAz]

So sorry for the rude people. How unacceptable. We are going with our 2.5 year old in May Her first trip to DIsneyland was at 4mo. Also staying at POP. Thanks for taking the time to write a report.

Oh, my DH would never do that. He would rather crawl in a hole than walk through anywhere with a crying child!

She really loved it. We look at the pictures several times a week and we talk about the trip. She'll love it!

Yeah, the mean people really were out in force this trip. Not sure why, maybe the cooler weather brought them out.

Can I go with you? We are planning another trip for October. We were going to stay at ASMu in a family suite, but switched back to Pop. You can't beat Pop for the price. We loved the themeing and the food court was awesome.

Sorry it has taken me so long to update! Just when I think I have life as a family of 4 under control, something new happens!!

I'm posting an update right after this post. When I was looking through the pictures to post for our last day at the parks, I couldn't believe how much the kids had changed!

Here's a pic of Baby B last week:

And Princess, who has def. turned into Tink at this point!

 

[DreaGirl]

We got our usual wake-up call from Princess at around 5:30. To tell you the truth, I was really tired this day. I didn't sleep well the night before and was not happy at the early wake-up call. I think my DH knew this and got Princess dressed and took her to fill up our mugs and get her a small snack.

When they got back I had showered and gotten Baby B ready for the day. He decided he wanted to do a marathon nursing session, so Rob took Princess to play at the small play area. It happened to be right outside our room, so all they had to do was walk down the steps. It was nice because I could stand right outside our door and yell down!

Baby B was finally ready so packed up our bags, put him on the stroller and met them at the play center. We got to the bus stop and there was a LONG line. We didn't think we would make it on the bus. Looking back, we should have waited for the next one because it was stressful getting on that bus! It was really crowded and getting the stroller folded, bags carried, getting down the isle...

We ended up getting a seat in the back across from a Nun and her friend. They were really nice and told us about their stay so far. The friend had participated in a jump rope on Main Street the day before. She gave Princess her sticker that she won as a price. This made her morning! She held on to the sticker for the rest of the trip.

We made it to MK in time to watch the opening show.

We had ADRs at Crystal Palace at 9:10. So we took our time walking in and down Main Street.

Our tradition has been to eat at Crystal Palace our first morning of vacation. I usually get the earliest ADR so we can get in the park early. I couldn't get an ADR for our first morning this trip though.

I went to check-in while Rob and Princess walked around. There wasn't anyone in line to check-in so I went to look for them and saw this:

Princess was having a melt-down because she couldn't find her sticker from the bus... Crisis was averted when we found it in her hoodie pocket though!

Baby B was nice a cozy in his HotSling and blanket.

We were called quickly for our table in headed in. We sat down right in time for the parade.

My bad mood was disappearing as Disney Magic was taking over! I love Crystal Palace. The food is so good and the character interaction is wonderful.

Continued...


All morning Princess was talking about Tigger. She was very excited to see him.

 

[DreaGirl]

After the parade Rob went and got food for himself and Princess. He returned and I went quickly to get my food. I saw some characters walk out of the kitchen, so I hurried back to our seat.

First up to visit our table was Pooh.

I returned to the table right as Pooh arrived. Princess was not budging from her seat. She had that look on her face.

Next up was Eeyore. Eeyore used to be her favorite. Her first birthday party was an Eeyore party, she was Eeyore for her 2nd Halloween, and her poor Eeyore doll is not in good shape from being toted around. So, we were all surprised when she wouldn't budge for him either!

So, Rob jumped in the picture.

We saw Tigger coming next. We braced ourselves. This is what happened last trip.

So as Tigger walked up I shielded Baby B's ears and waited for the freak out...but we got this instead.

We were shocked! The first picture is blurry because we didn't even have the camera on!! Here's a video.



Piglet was nowhere in site, so I took Baby B to change his diaper. I came back and still no Piglet so I headed back to the restroom. While I was gone, this happened!

I couldn't believe it!! I was so mad. We waited another 5 minutes and still no Piglet, so we paid the bill and headed out.

Next stop: Frontierland!

Thank you! I was happy that she liked more characters this time.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Wow! I can't believe how much Baby B has changed.

I'm glad your DD warmed up to Tigger.

Loved your report. We just got our ADR for Crystal Palace on our last day at the parks. 8:00...I wanted to get in before the park opened. Can't wait to try the yummy food.
