Disney Growth Chart

[gwhb75]

Hey all. I'm sure we've all done something to track the height of our kids as they grow. Maybe you've marked up a door post with your child(s) height changes thoughtout their life, or have a growth chart that you note the dates they reached certain heights, etc.

I was looking through our old Disney vacation pictures the other day, and realized that we inadvertently marked our kids growth at Disney. With the exception of one year, we have a picture taken at the same spot every year. It's crazy how quick kids grow in over five years. Here's what I found:

So, do any of you have similar pictures anywhere at Disney that allow you to "mark" your kids' growth?

We take the same pic every trip, though you can't tell height difference just face difference.

Oh wow, that's awesome! I'm definitely going to do that from now on. Thanks for the great idea

That's a really cool pic. Is it me or is the ground getting closer to your son's feet? Amazing what Disney magic can do.

And when I read this thread's title, I thought it was going to be about how much the place has expanded over the years.

Sorry to disappoint

Either that or the sky is falling, slowy pushing everything to the ground.

I thought it was kinda cool too, but we hadn't done it on purpose. The kids always want their picture taken on it, and we just took one each year. It wasn't until I looked at our trip from 5 years ago, and then our trip from last year it got me thinking that I bet we have one from each year.

That's just awesome! I hadn't thought of doing something to mark DD's growth, I just wanted to take a picture in the same place with each trip. But now I'll be on the lookout for something that will show how much she's grown as well. Thanks!

Not of anyone in my family, but on one of my friend's FB page he always has one taken in front of the waterfall at Canada with his family. I didn't even know he went to Disney every year until I saw a picture in November saying "The family's annual picture." So I look in his pictures and he has those same ones from years ago!

Anyway... none of me!

Pretty neat photos to show especially your sons growth. It worked out well that they each took the same side each year too. We always took photos of our son with the Goofy statue by Tony's restaurant on Main Street. He is my sons favorite character. Amazing how fast they grow up..

I just noticed they were on the same side each year when I put the pictures together. Kind of funny that it worked out that way.

Again...sorry

I have a pic of DS at 5 and 19 in front of the topiary at Dumbo.

I really wish I had of done this too, great idea!

 

[Mr_Incredible]

Great idea! My son is 5, so plenty of time to do this as well!

I thought it was kind of cool, but not really something we had planned. Kind of funny how we took the exact same picture every year.

For sure. We'll take another when we're there in September. It's really crazy how much kids change from one year to the next.
