That's so awesome Paris! I feel the same too about speech and creative development for my 3 year old. He has a slight speech and conmunication delay but once we introduced some of the Disney movies, books, music and how they relate to what he sees, touches, feels and hears in DL, his vocabulary improved tenfold. Now if he can just pronounce "Disneeeewand" correctly... - Polkadobo372.1 #372 5-16-10 8:18PMLike Reply

Since you've never been there b4, I think I would be wise to take it one land at a time, and just enjoy everything it has to offer, especially with young kids, they probably will enjoy everything as opposed to older kids who are more interested in the fast rides. One thing you don't want to do is run around from one end of the park to the other repeatedly, which I think gets less done and takes up more time. Use the fast passes to your advantage. But don't do what my group did all day "let's go to HM!" "now, let's go to small world!" they don't have fast passes and they're on totally opposite sides of the park. Hope this helps u make the best of your time! - TheLittlemermaidrox12.9 #6066 4-22-10 10:33AMLike Reply
