My dad lives a short 90 minute drive away from Disney World. We obviously had to take advantage of that on our trip!
Jonah loved the parade! The chipmunks gave him high-fives and he thought he was hot stuff. He got to see some of his favorite characters, including Woody from Toy Story.
We rode the teacups 3 times…and he still wanted to go back for more! He was so funny!
Jonah earned his “Mouse Ears” and we had his name embroidered for a keepsake. We also got Jonah’s silhouette made. Both of these are family traditions for your first trip to Disney. It was Ray’s first trip too, but he declined both keepsakes.
Jonah did great with a long, fun-filled day at Disney. He rode in the stroller when asked without getting upset (he’s so independent these days!) and walked through the lines without too much trouble. I had him in a harness/leash so he could walk independently without getting lost in the crowd even though I always swore I wouldn’t use one before I was a mother. Every time we got off a ride Jonah would ask, “What’s next?” The only melt down was in the car after we left the park…as a result of being utterly exhausted.
We can’t wait to go back this summer and visit again for our “big” family trip. Jonah’s already asked us over and over about seeing Mickey Mouse. I have a feeling it will be a long wait until June!

So much fun!!! I can't wait to one day take my kids! I've never been either, but seeing your pictures makes me want to go so bad. I'm glad you guys got to go.

In response to this statement of yours: "The only melt down was in the car after we left the park…as a result of being utterly exhausted."You must have needed a serious time-out, Sara, to have acted like that in front of everyone!;-DLooks like you had a lot of fun! It reminded me of the time I took our Sarah, who was 2 at the time, to Disney. She went around knocking on the doors of the "fake" buildings and yelling into them: "Is anybody home? Hello?!"Sweet memories!Glad you had fun!Blessings to you!
