I've heard a lot of people say that they don't see the point of taking a child under a certain age to Disney because they won't remember it. They seem to think this makes it a complete waste of time and money.
Have you made this foolish statement before? Well, sir... I'm hear to tell you, you've said at least one foolish thing in your life. Oh you heard me. I've gone and gotten all confrontational on you but I don't apologize. This cause is worth the momentary awkwardness.
Let me explain to you why it's totally worth taking a baby of, let's just say 7 months.
...just throwin' a random age out there...
1. It's true - maybe they won't remember the trip. But they'll have a lot fun in that moment. They'll ride in that stroller and laugh and smile and talk to every person and ever tree and every Mickey topiary they pass. And you, my friend. You will have a monumentally good time watching this. Seriously.
2. After a full day of riding around in all that activity, they'll sleep like... well, a baby.
On a side note, why is that a saying? Babies don't exactly sleep great a lot of the time. I'm just curious.
So anyway, if yours is one of those babies, this alone should make you want to run to Disney World. But that's just my humble opinion.
3. Maybe they won't remember it but they'll always have those pictures and all those wonderful videos and all the stories you tell them. And frankly, it just sets a good precedent because if you go when they're that little then you obviously mean business about it and will probably go back a lot throughout their childhood. Which makes for a super happy childhood.
Trust me, I know this.
In fact, there was a brief period of time when I was a little girl that we didn't go to Disney for a while. I refer to this as the dark ages. But that's a sad story for another day.
So, you all can just stop judging me when you hear that I've dragged us on another Disney trip because this is only the first of many for Piper.
And it's not for me. ..No sir. It's for Piper.
For Piper, I tell you.
