Disneyland here we come!
My husband and I always said that we weren’t going to take our kids to Disneyland until they were old enough to actually remember it. However… after finding out that kids under 3 are FREE, we couldn’t resist! After all, the next time we go, we’ll be paying for at least 4 people.
So, for the last 2 weeks I’ve been trying to instill excitement into my 2-year-olds as well. I point out every Disney character I see, encourage them to watch all their favorite Disney movies, and remind them every day how many days left we have till we get to see Mickey and Minnie, Woody and Buzz, and Cinderella. Fortunately, and unfortunately, it’s worked. They now seem quite excited to go… so much that when I tell them we need to run an errand, the response is, “No, Disneyland first!” And now, I’m already considering the withdrawal they’ll have when we come home. Somehow, I can’t imagine that taking them to the park the next day will even come close to Disneyland.
So our last dilemma is what kind and how many strollers to take. Do we take our double jogger? Do we buy a double side-by-side (since I’ve been wanting to get one anyway to replace my double tandem)? Or do we buy 2 cheap umbrella strollers so we can maneuver through the crowds easily. And we could rent one… for $10 a day- but for that I could by 2 umbrellas.
I think in the end, the squeals of delight, overwhelming excitement, and pure joy on their faces will make it all worth it! (Not to mention 2 exhausted girls at the end of each day).
