Hi everyone,
For all of you out there who might hesitate to bring your 1 year old to Disney, I just want to encourage everyone to do what they think will be best based on THEIR child's personality. We are fortunate to have APs and started taking my son recently, his first trip was on his first birthday, and he has been doing great! He absolutely LOVES the characters and has not been afraid on a single ride, including the Haunted Mansion. Only one ride -- part of Figment -- scared him (for some reason, he does not like the scene with the upside down house?!?!? No idea why???) :shrug: He has even napped in his stroller during his usual naptime when we were at EPCOT enjoying the F&W Fest. So for anyone who might be discouraged by people saying "oh they are too young", don't be if you think your kid is ready. The photos we have from our trips have made it so worth it. And watching his reaction to it all and all of the extra smiles, just warms a mom's heart. He even waves to all of the other "children" (i.e. animatronic figures) on It's a Small World. :lol:
Bottom line is, you know your kids better than anyone else. Just my two cents on the never-ending debate about when to first take your children.
