My god we wouldnt ever go without them .. even if barbie doesnt remember the first time she hugged "her mickey" I have it on tape ..and even with out that tape .. I remember that smile ..it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Or when her sister saw dumbo for the first time and started to shout "my dumbo my dumbo" yes ..we stood in line for about 2 hours in the sun ( it was long before they put up that shade ) because she had to ride dumb .. for years my granddaughters did not understand that not everyone goes to WDW. I wont say that WDW has anything to do with it ..but both of them are Straight A honor roll students .. and have been since they started school. The are both praised all the time by their teachers. They are both well advanced in thier classes .. the oldest has even been teaching one of her teachers and the class Japanese which she learned on her own, with no help. the youngest who is 10 was chosen out of her whole school to be a real bank teller in connection with a local bank that it helping kids learn the value of saving money. The both have thier own savings accounts with goals. they both believe they can do and be anything they want to be. Maybe its not because they have been going to WDW since they were babies ..but I sure know it didnt hurt. but I do have to admit ..if your going to bring a child and then yell at them when they are cranky or mistreat them in any way then please dont bring your child to this happy place .. too many times I have seen parents shouting at their children and losing thier tempers with them, I have seen parents teach thier children that its ok to push and shove, that its ok to run and maybe knock an other child down to get to the best seat. I have seen parent cussing CM's in front of their children.. lovely lessons on how to deal with fustration huh. Sometimes its the parents that need the nap and time out
