Hiya, Elisa, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort with little ones - how exciting! I always say that there's no wrong age to bring a kiddo to the Most Magical Place on Earth, because you get to see it through their eyes, and that's always a new and wonderful experience.
Don't you just love it when your little ones fall in love with a character? I was a boy mom for a long time, so it was all sword fights, "dark side," and thrill rides until my daughter came along with her love of Disney Princesses! Now, we get the best of all worlds during our Walt Disney World Resort vacations.
When you're looking for a specific character in the Disney Theme Parks, open up your
My Disney Experience Mobile App and go to the map feature. You'll see icons that pinpoint a location, and when you click on the icon, you'll see which characters are there. You can also use the search function in your app to search for a character. If you type in "Pinocchio," you'll see that you can visit a Pinocchio-inspired restaurant at
Magic Kingdom Park called
Pinocchio Village Haus. Choose a seat near the windows that overlooks "it's a small world" for fun people-watching! You can also see Pinocchio and lots of his pals during the
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom Park.
The Disney Store website has a super cute
Pinocchio t-shirt that your boys might love! If you visit
EPCOT, keep an eye out for original artwork and figurines that feature Pinocchio - when you wish upon a star, you never know what you'll find!
Since you'll have little ones in tow, please check out the amazing videos and other resources that all of us at
planDisney have created for guests just like you. We've taken our best tips and are happy to share them with you so that you can be prepared for an incredible vacation! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue your countdown!
See you real soon!
