You never take the same child to Disney twice ✨
We returned home earlier this month after a big family trip to Disney World, and I finally got around to looking at photos. When I saw this picture I took of our oldest at Dumbo, it hit me that this is the ride she has ridden every single trip. At age 1, almost 3, 4, and now 5. And every time, she still finds this same ride magical.
Every time we visit, she is a little older. A little taller. A little braver. And she still believes in the magic that makes Disney so special. And seeing those little moments through her eyes creates new memories for me.
One day she won’t be as excited to ride the purple Dumbo. One day she won’t be frantically waving at Mickey and Minnie at the parade. One day she won’t be jumping up and down at her seat waiting for Eeyore to give her a hug. One day she’ll be grown up, and we will wish for these moments again.
Maybe she won’t remember everything. All of the rides we rode, the characters she met, the treats she ate. But I do know we all will remember those special moments as a family, taking in the magic of Disney. Because if even just for a short time, anyone can be a kid again.
Take the trip 🤍 There’s no perfect age or stage to go. Each time will bring new memories, and they’ll be ones you revisit forever 🏰
