I was hoping for the best but not really sure how Brooks would handle it all at his age.
My expectations were exceeded!
He loved it and he was able to hang during our long days!
He loved being with his cousins, I think this helped with any lag time in lines or timidness on rides.
They all kept each other going.
I am so glad we decided to go with family our first visit.
It made it even more fun.
It was so fun watching Brooks experience it all for the first time.
There is something about Disney,
I think it's the way you carry your childhood experience from there, and you associate it with the excitement that you got as a young child into adulthood!
Yes it was hot,
expensive,
crowds,
hot,
expensive,
long days,
but it is all worth it to watch their little faces on the rides and watching fireworks and seeing the characters.
I am glad we took Brooks at this age because the excitement he got seeing the characters was awesome.
He loved getting their autograph.
My favorite moment of the trip was at the parade at Magic Kingdom when Brooks saw Mickey, after he had just gotten his Mickey stuffed animal from Me-Maw, he held his Mickey up to the Mickey in the parade and said "Mickey, I got you, I got you, I got you Mickey".
So innocent, so precious! I wish I could bottle up their little faces and excitement.
He is still talking about it.
I am thankful for the memories for me and Trip more than anything.
So glad my parents got to see the kiddos experience too.
It won't be our last trip for sure.
Can't wait until Ford gets to experience it.
