Most everyone has a story to tell about their first Disney memory.
Chances are they came to the magical world of Disney long before
their sixth birthday and met Mickey, were enchanted by It's a Small
World and flew high in the sky with Dumbo, the Flying Elephant.
Today, parents are more motivated than ever to bring their preschool-age
children to Disney to rekindle childhood memories and create magical
family traditions. Disney's timeless classics and new Disney characters
are relevant to kids of all ages, especially toddlers.
"Parents tell us they want to relive their own memories through
the eyes of their children when they visit Walt Disney World Resort,"
said Alice Norsworthy, senior vice president of business integration/product
& services. "Seeing them immersed in the magic and wonder
as they meet their favorite characters and experience our attractions
are key reasons behind a parent's decision to vacation at Disney."
Plus, there's plenty to do. Walt Disney World Resort offers more
than 66 attractions and entertainment options especially for preschoolers.
In a 47-square-mile playground, infants and toddlers discover a
world of fun with sure hits like Peter Pan's Flight; "Mickey's
PhilharMagic"; The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh; Buzz
Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin; "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage";
"Voyage of the Little Mermaid," and The Magic Carpets
of Aladdin. Other age-appropriate attractions include "Jim
Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D"; Mickey's Toontown Fair; Dumbo,
the Flying Elephant; The Boneyard, Journey Into Imagination, plus
daily parades, live shows and character meet-and-greets.
While youngsters are typically captivated by all of the Walt Disney
World parks, guests staying on property will also find added benefits
for their preschoolers. Kid-friendly amenities include themed swimming
pools and kiddie pools, character meals, and "Bedtime Stories"
-- Disney storytelling on in-room televisions. Resorts offer guests
the Extra Magic Hour so families can spend an extra morning hour
in the theme park before the park's scheduled opening time. With
close proximity to the parks and Disney transportation, guests can
easily return to their resort rooms for mid-day naps and breaks
keeping everyone refreshed and energized. Parents wishing to escape
for a night out of grown-up fun can take advantage of in-room babysitting
services or fun-filled child-activity centers at several resorts.
Walt Disney World Resort strives to provide a hassle-free and memorable
guest experiences for its visitors traveling with toddlers and preschoolers.
No matter what guests choose to do, they will have fun with their
preschoolers if they plan ahead, pace themselves and take advantages
of the many added conveniences for children ages 5 and under.
"We are confident we can deliver on the promise of a memorable
vacation," said Norsworthy, also a preschooler mom. "Staying
at a Disney resort provides guests with flexibility. Plus, with
our baby-care services, our rider-switch program, stroller rental
systems, and our 66 age-appropriate attractions, guests will discover
why we rank as an ideal vacation destination for families with young
children."
