Hi Richard! I am so happy I get to help out a fellow Alabamian! You're going to have so much fun staying at Disney's Art of Animation Resort. My family recently stayed in the Cars section of the Resort and my 3 and 4 year-old sons love to tell everyone about how they got to see their Radiator Springs favorites. Please make sure you check out all the fun courtyards at this terrific hotel, each one is unique and full of amazing photo opportunities.
My favorite special activity for my young sons is a haircut at the
Harmony Barber Shop. This cozy little spot on Main Street USA is home to some of my favorite Cast Members on Disney property. This is no ordinary Barber Shop, it's filled with fun, Mickey Stickers and even pixie dust at the end. On every trip my family takes, my husband and sons enjoy some father-son bonding time during a haircut. I think it would be a great experience for you and your little prince to enjoy together. You can make an appointment up to 180 days in advance by calling (407) WDW-PLAY, or (407) 939-7529. Walk-ins are also welcome.
I hope you enjoy your vacation with your family, and are able to make memories together that will last a lifetime. If you need any additional assistance before you depart on your Walt Disney World adventure, please let me know. I love to help fellow Disney-loving families.
Have a Disney Day,
~Jen
