The Great Disney Debate.

I was so excited planning our first Disney trip I tried not to let the naysayers discourage me. Is Disney too much for little ones? I'm pretty sure if you were to ask Walt himself he would agree Disneyland is made for children, toddlers and yes even babies. From the moment you enter the gates it is apparent you are truly in a magical place. The park is filled with baby centers. A quiet calm AC filled room with impeccably clean changing tables, rocking chairs and even private rooms for feeding. Most rides are very baby friendly. We enjoyed many rides as a family including Pirates of the Caribbean, the Jungle cruise, Nemo, all of Fantasy land and Toon town and I must not forget to mention my favorite the Haunted House.

Our boys loved DL and most importantly it was real. When Mickey walks by he is really walking by. When they walked through Goofy's house their was no doubt they were is his home. This is something that can only happen with young children. The older they get reality hits and it's more about how fast the roller coaster is and not so much about Tigger and Pooh. By all means take your little ones to Disneyland, they will enjoy it.

Maybe the real debate should be Is DL a place for people who don't like kids. My answer is no! Stay home and don't try to rain on our parade the next time a new parent talks about making the trip to DL.
