What an exquisite journey we had at Disney! We traveled to Orlando for Calihan’s first birthday final 12 months and it was a blast, however this 12 months topped it! I like watching the totally different ages see the parks. There are so many enjoyable issues for any age to do at Disney and annually will get higher and higher.
This 12 months Calihan’s favourite trip was the Alien Swirling Saucers at Hollywood Studios! He’s 36 inches so he was in a position to go on this one and he was smiling from ear to ear all the time! I used to be shocked as a result of usually he’s fairly chill or hesitant and this one he was laughing so laborious. I like the little stomach giggle he has! The trip is much like the teacups besides you don’t actually spin, however as an alternative whip round. This sounds horrible however 100% definitely worth the smiles I noticed.
Take an intergalactic spin with the lovely aliens from Toy Story. 32in (81cm) or taller
Another favourite trip of his was Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom, which was the primary one we went on. He was dancing to the music and waving to Ariel on the finish. The solely laborious half with a lot of the children rides is that they’ve darkish sections that take some getting used to for teenagers typically. Cal gave the impression to be fantastic, however he’s braver than I used to be as a toddler!
His favourite trip at Animal Kingdom was the safari! He loves seeing the entire animals! He actually enjoys studying about and observing totally different animals so we knew he’d love this one! After the safari there’s trails you can even go on the place there’s extra animals and birds nearly like a zoo. Calihan’s favourite stuffed animal is the Okapi he acquired from my associates at Animal Kingdom Lodge. He is not going to put “Opi” down wherever so when he noticed one in actual life he was tremendous excited!
There’s additionally The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot that he loved. We watched Finding Nemo proper earlier than we left for Disney so he was excited to be on the trip. If you haven’t been on this trip, you might be in a seashell much like Under the Sea and getting a fast recap journey of the film. There’s music and enjoyable interactions with Crush, Nemo, Dory, Bruce, and extra! After the trip there’s an enormous aquarium the place you possibly can see dolphins, manatees, and a lot extra. The data station was handing out cute books to children that had the entire sea life in it. We would present Cal a shark within the ebook after which he would level and say shark to those he noticed within the water. This is such a cool expertise after a trip!
Cal’s huge factor proper now’s Disney’s Cars and there’s a cute little present that’s at Hollywood Studios behind Rock n’ Roll Rollercoaster that options Disney’s Cars with Lightning McQueen. The present is ready up so cute with two automobiles out entrance with music to maintain the kiddos busy whereas they wait after which inside has bleachers with encompass screens so each angle is nice. There’s a complete racing journey and the children can shout issues out to become involved and every thing! We ended up watching the present twice as a result of he cherished it a lot. The picture beneath is him nearly in tears as a result of he didn’t need to cease dancing or depart that space. He most likely would have stayed there all the time actually. He loves Cruz Ramirez additionally!
Calihan’s different favourite issues to do concerned consuming and dancing across the nations, and assembly the characters! He was blowing Minnie Mouse kisses all the time we noticed her. Disney continues to be doing distancing with the characters which I’m fully comfortable with particularly for security! I do imagine this helps Cal additionally as a result of he likes to see the characters from a distance and never proper up in his face. He ended up seeing fairly a couple of characters! We watched a couple of cavalcades after which at Epcot that they had so many out and about. His interactions with Pooh had been additionally hilarious as a result of he would suppose it’s humorous that Pooh would “try” to catch issues together with his web.
We didn’t exit of our manner for the fireworks or nighttime reveals as a result of I’ll say it’s very laborious with a two 12 months outdated. Some two 12 months outdated’s keep up late, however Cal likes being in mattress early. He fell asleep each occasions within the stroller and so assembly the characters made up for all of that!
If you possibly can watch a firework present or any present, it’s usually value it! I can’t wait to see them subsequent 12 months.
Cal is rather like myself and is such a foodie! I like taking him to Disney as a result of he’ll eat all of the enjoyable snacks with me. He does love popcorn however I don’t ever need to suggest that as you actually must watch out with it! We do let him have it although particularly at Disney. He will get the bucket straight away and we refill it continuously ($2 refills) as a result of he’ll devour it. Most of the gadgets we had he would attempt particularly something that concerned chocolate or this cheesecake from Food and Wine that was superb! I initially deliberate on having all of it to myself and Calihan had different plans.
Epcot is often all of our favorites as a result of it has scrumptious meals and music. Cal loves the rides however in case you put him in entrance of the American pavilion and let him dance to the music all day – he can be more than pleased. There’s additionally some cute child rides reminiscent of Nemo, and my private favourite Figment. They are nice for these breaks which can be wanted from all of the meals. The solely trip near a thrill trip for the older children and adults is Test Track. There is a thrill trip – rollercoaster coming in although! I’m fairly excited to spruce up that space of Epcot with a thrill trip.
I can also’t overlook his love for the geese at Magic Kingdom – greatest associates
I’m an enormous believer that Disney is made for any age. I grew up going fairly incessantly after which had the very best time working there after I was in school as nicely. As a mum or dad, I’m much more emotional as I see my son smiling and laughing whereas doing the issues I did as a toddler. Last 12 months, he was just one and I virtually cried of pleased tears when he had his cupcake on his birthday down Main Street! This 12 months, the blowing kisses to Minnie and the stomach laughs on the saucers made my total 12 months. The pleasure it brings at all ages is every thing!
The greatest tip I’ve is to glide and know that Disney is so huge. There’s no method to attempt each meals merchandise or trip each trip in a brief period of time so simply loosen up and benefit from the easy issues.
As at all times, thanks for studying! xo
