Hello Tabata!
Congratulations on your upcoming trip. I am thrilled you have stopped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel to ask such a great question. One of my favorite things about a Walt Disney World vacation is that adventure is awaiting every pirate and princess, no matter how old. There will be plenty of things your little one can enjoy and although he may not remember every magical moment, you sure will and they will be memories you will cherish forever.
I have visited with my kids as infants, toddlers, and even with a "double digit-er" as my oldest likes to tout and they have all loved every experience. The parades fascinated my little ones when they were around that age. They loved watching the floats go by, hearing (and sometimes dancing to the music) and watching all of the brilliant performers. Rides such as,
"it's a small world," and
Dumbo the Flying Elephant produced squeals of delight and laughter over and over again. To see a list of attractions appropriate for your little pirate prince as well as a sample itinerary and a few other fun "Disney Firsts" visit the
Planning for Pre-School Kids and Little Ones page of the Walt Disney World website. As the
video says, "Now is the perfect time to start the magic!" Have a wonderful vacation with your little buccaneer, Tabata, and
please let me know if there is anything else I may assist you with.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
