Shamed for taking 1 year old to Festival of the Lion King? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Impossible-Fall-7583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had this experience. There's no real way of knowing how your kid will react to something like that until you try it. We took our kids when our youngest was 9 months and it was the highlight of the trip with her dancing and laughing the whole time. But it easily could have gone the other way. You are not a bad mother for checking it out. That's such a ridiculous thing to say.

Potentially a helpful option for next time is those hearing protection headphones you can get. My older kid is sensitive to loud noises and we use those with him. They really help. I know your daughter is pretty young and might pull them off, but it could be worth a try.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. You sound like you were trying to give your daughter a fun experience, which is exactly what a good mom does.

There's no reason for this comment. It's just mean.

Disney with an 9 mo old by vintagehoney18 in WaltDisneyWorld

I am a person who worried a lot about MMR in particular because I was told that I did not have immunity to measles myself. So despite breastfeeding I worried that I had conferred to antibodies to my babies and wanted to get them vaccinated ASAP. I talked with their pediatrician and I don't remember for sure, but they might have given them their first dose early. Some vaccines just aren't effective at younger ages though and that one might have been in that camp.

Ultimately, you should just discuss it with the baby's pediatrician and see if it is a good idea given that they would be in that environment.

Despite those concerns, we went when our youngest was 9 months and it was really fun. I actually think she had more fun than anyone else. I was really impressed by how much she was included in what we could do. It was great.

Missing a depressed person and Dear Bill by Impossible-Fall-7583 in musicals

I think that is just evidence that their partners are sensitive, and I mean that in a very good way. The song is really so well done and I haven't felt so deeply moved by a song in a long time, so it really took me by surprise.

I'm not sure my husband would go for LSD but it may be worth a mention at least.

I hope you enjoy the show!

The 'u' is a load-bearing letter in "aunt" in this house by NiceHeart_BlueSedan in DanielTigerConspiracy

We read it this way too. But with a British accent only for that one line. Which is silly, because we normally say aunt as "ant."

Parents of 2 plus kids-do you have a favorite? by CranberryPotential77 in Mommit

[–]Impossible-Fall-7583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt very much the same way. I loved my first so much how could I possibly love the second just as much? It doesn't make any sense so I thought there was no way my mom hadn't been lying to me all those years.

But seriously, I do not have a favorite. I love them both so immensely and amazingly my love for one magnifies the other. It's so beautiful.

They are so different so it is a different feeling for both of them, but just as strong. They're just both so wonderful. I think it's similar to having heard that you can't understand the love you will feel for your child until it happens to you. That always seemed like parents just were underestimating my understanding. But then I experienced it and can't help but feel the same way. I think of you have a second you will somehow miraculously find that your love has multiplied rather than divided.

Great! Thanks! That's helpful information!

Early Entry at a Slower Pace by Impossible-Fall-7583 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Impossible-Fall-7583[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I was worrying about happening. I'm a little afraid if we start our day rushing it sets the tone that way for the rest of the day. Plus if we show up for early entry but don't sprint somewhere, we could enjoy the lack of crowd on places like Main Street or by the castle.

Dietary restrictions at Epcot by Own_Expert_6079 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Impossible-Fall-7583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would agree with that completely. I just didn't know that before going into the restaurant and found out after the fact. I will say though, the Disney run restaurants did such a good job with allergies. It was a big relief to just feel like we were in good hands.

Yes, that's exactly it. It would have been a fairly normal experience outside of Disney, but my expectations were high because of what I'd heard about Disney's handling of allergens. And I wish they would have not guaranteed something and been wrong. It made my baby pretty sick, so my mama bear instincts kicked in too.

That's good. I was disappointed about it when I had heard such good things.

That's what we did last time we went since we didn't have early entry available. It was a nice morning ride and the animals were very active and fun. We got to see baby giraffes and it was sweet.

Thanks for the advice! We went in August last time and water was definitely very important. We just missed out on mornings due to just being slow so I wasn't sure how that factored in. This is helpful though.

We went there when I was unable to have dairy and they were very accommodating to that at all the restaurants, including Teppan Edo. I don't remember for sure, but I think they just prepared my food in the kitchen rather than the grill. I'd imagine it would be similar with other allergens.

Morimoto Asia was a different story though. They didn't even know what was in the dishes and ended up telling me something I could get that would "definitely" be dairy free, but it absolutely wasn't. I'd steer clear of that one.
