We went Sat to WDW for the day (we are local) and it was the 1st trip for DS and DN. We got there at 9:30 and walked right onto the boat to go to the Magic Kingdom.
1st stop - the Barber shop on at Main street for DS's 1st haircut! There were 3 people in line ahead of us, so the wait was about 30 minutes. Rex did DS's haircut and BOY was he fast! Not in a bad way though...DS was REALLY wiggly! I got many locks of hair for saving, along with "Mickey dust", stickers, certificate, and 1st mouse ears! ALL FOR $14 + tip!!! Thanks to all who gave me encouragement to do this. It was TRULY a magical experience for me and DS!
We then "did" the park. MAKE SURE to get the time schedule for the day. We didn't and it was just pure luck that we happened upon the character signings. I did manage to to get Tigger and Pooh's picture with DS. My DN got LOTS of autographs and pictures!
I was amazed how many rides DS could go on! Pirates, Small World, Pooh's Adventures, Peter Pan, Snow White (I don't like this ride so we didn't go on this), and the Haunted Mansion! I was a little worried that DS would flip out in the Mansion, but he LAUGHED the entire time! He thought it was great! We even went on the teacups!
Lunch was at the taco place across from Pirates...it was pretty good. Dinner was at the Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe in Tomorrowland. We got the rotisserre chicken and it was SO greasy we could barely eat it! We really wanted to spend the $$$ and do dinner at cinderella's castle, but there was a miscommunication and my Mom thought I made reservations, and I thought my Aunt made reservations, so they were never made. By the time we realized it, it was too late.
DS, at 11 months old, did great! He doesn't have a problem napping in his stroller on the go - he seemed to fall asleep when there were rides he couldn't go on. Baby swap rocks! He enjoyed the parade at night, but the fireworks were too loud for him (I don't like the noises from the fireworks either though!)
We plan on going back after the summer...90+ weather and tons of people does NOT make for happy people!
Also, I used my Silver Cross Dazzle stroller - no problems, sunshade was great, easy to maneuver and fold. I saw a lot of Quinny Zapps & Buzzs, Bugaboos and lots of Gracos.
