I was that 18 year old girl that always day dreamed of what my future would look like you know the husband, the wedding, the house & of course children. Lol I hope I am not alone on this one.
But one thing I always pictured is the day I took my first baby to Disney & it's probably because of all the amazing memories I have when my parents took me.
Let me just tell you that it definitely exceeded anything I would ever dreamed for!
On the first day we went to dine with the characters because so many people recommend it with a small child but also they did say it could be a hit or miss. So I knew going into it she would either love it or completely be freaked out lol. & I am so glad she fell in love with the whole experience! She took a liking to Mickey, Pluto, & Lilo, but Stitch on the other hand not so much lol. The whole experience was so amazing & I would recommend it for anyone wanting to visit Disney. It's a little pricy but the food is great & for me felt very worth it!
The next two days were spent at Animal Kingdom & Magic Kingdom! We decided on Animal Kingdom because they're more rides for her than some of the other parks besides Magic Kingdom & because they just opened Avatar World also known as Pandora. Let me just say Disney did an incredible job with this new addition! From the amazing replica of pandora to the food which by the way is so tasty!! My brother is vegan & he loved the tofu bowl there! It's hard for him to say he actually likes something but he fell in love with the food that he wanted to come back for seconds lol. & the cheeseburger pods that I got were out of this world! A+ on the food in Pandora Disney!
Now the rides, the boat one that is called Na'vi Rivier Journey was okay. The reason I liked it was because of all the colors so Jayleen was so into it, but another thing was that is was a very short ride. I would probably skip next time because it is not worth the almost 2 hour wait.
On the other hand Avatar Flight of Passage was incredible! You felt as if you were actually traveling on the back of one of the dragons, you felt them breath as if you were on a horse, you smelled the forest & ocean, & you felt the mist of the ocean & water ways. I have never been on such a realistic ride before! By far my favorite ride ever! & the beauty of it is we got to ride it twice with fast pass! So the past pass usually get taken fast but I would check everyday & one day one became available & I did not think twice, I booked it right away! But the down side was that it was only for 4 people because my husband bought his sister & parents tickets separately & I had bought mine, his, my brother & mom. So when I found it I got it for the people I had on my account so that meant his sister wouldn't go on it because his parents don't ride extreme rides. So my husband decided he would skip to let his sister. But when I went to ask if that was the line for the ride I had Jayleen with me so they told me that I could use riders swap & I was blown away because that meant not only would we get to ride but everyone that wanted to go on it would be able to! Its like getting 7 fast passes! So my husband, brother, sister-in-law & I went first & then my mom, brother & myself went second. So my brother & I got to ride it twice! So get informed because I had no clue this existed!
I felt Jayleen out of everything she definitely loved the Lion King Show the most, I mean she was going crazy over the characters lol! I'll post a video soon! But to see her face light up like it did was what made my day, nothing compares to seeing your baby's happiness!
Such an awesome day!
Now Magic Kingdom was definitely all for Jayleen, she got to ride about 10 rides, watch the parades & eat so many different snacks lol. Although she wasn't to amused with most rides she did love Buzz from Toy Story lol. But my favorite memory was definitely when we were watching the characters perform on the castle because Jayleen loves watching them & gets so excited!
I love the fact that you can have an amazing time seeing your baby enjoy herself but also you become a kid yourself & have the time of your life every time!
By far my most favorite Disney trip yet!
If I have any tips to give it would have to be to get informed, & have a plan! The Disney app will be your best friend for this!
