What's the best ? your child has asked you about WDW?

[Fargoman2]

My 6-year-old son talks about WDW at least once a day--or so it seems. He would like to go there and stay "for 100 days!" I've told him many times that it's expensive, so we should count ourselves blessed to be able to go there for a few days each year. With that info in the back of his mind, my conversation with him while driving him home from school yesterday went something like this:

Preston: "Dad, how much did our van cost?"
Dad: "Oh, about xx,000 dollars."
Preston: "We don't have xx,000 dollars!"
Dad: "No, we don't. But we got a loan from the bank and we're paying them back over time."
Preston: "Oh. So why don't we just get a loan so we can go to Disneyworld whenever we want?!

My DD wanted to know why the char. had zippers on their backs? She is 10- yep that's the magic!

While walking through World Showcase one morning I saw a little child walking around and around the family stroller asking "why are we at Apricot????"

From a 4 year old--Why did they put DisneyWorld so far away from Tennessee?

I've been known to wonder the same thing--till I came up with a great solution! Move to Florida!!!

After spending a lot of time in the parks, we went to Cirque du Soleil one evening. Part way through the show, my four year old grandson took my face in his hands, came close and said, "Are they real?" He thought maybe they were animatronic!

She wanted to know if Apricot was where Apricots come from. She thought it was a big fruit tree. When we showed her pictures she said "ok, but they are WAAAAAAAAAY confused! Somebody should tell them Apricots are for eating!" So now she calls it
Ep-ricot and knows it's different than APRICOTS but she still doesn't say it right.

My two little guys (4 and 7) call Epcot, "Apricot" too. The older one sometimes calls it Epcot now, but it makes me a little sad. Just like Target used to be "the circle store".

My seven year old asked me just tonight if the castle was the same in the back? He said "do they have flowers all around it?"
He cracks me up. He claims he remembers being there when he was four.

DD5 asked last year, and still asks when talking about our upcoming trip, why Mickey, MInnie, Peter Pan, etc. can talk in the parades but don't talk to us. I tell her that they visit with so many children during the day if they talked to everyone they would get sore throats. When in the parade, they can talk to everyone at one time. Then she always says, but the princesses talk to us. Then I told her the princesses don't see as many people as the others do- why? she asks. Well, b/c it is very special to see the princesses and is something everyone doesn't get to do.
Anyway, trying to keep the magic alive!

 

[Sinclare]

Yep, I've got the one about why characters don't talk too. Used the same reply as well, LoL. Of course, the question I like best is "when are we going back" .....As Soon As Possible

Well my little 4 yo princess in June was upset because Prince Charming wasn't at Cinderella's Royal Table Breakfast like he was the time before. She asked where he was and the server said that he was at work! I thought that was a funny response being that his job is to be at these things, but my DD says "Oh yeah, Prince Charming has to go to work to make money so he can live in the castle with Cinderella".

The very best question my DD asked me, when she was 7, was when she saw a little boy crying because he'd lost something that flew off the tram (some sort of beanie). She said, "Mommy, do you think I could give him the safari Mickey you bought me?"

That brought tears to my eyes

My 5 year old who knows nothing about hurricanes was watching the weather channel with us one day. We were watching the weather channel all day to decide if we should cancel our Sept trip (we did).

Then he asked me why Disney doesn't mention hurricanes in their vacation planning video. They should tell people before they come.

I didn't want him to think I was crazy by saying it takes a lot more than a hurricane to keep people away from Disney.
