JJ was very brave on the trip...trying all the big rides he was tall enough for - but he drew the line on Expedition Everest. He could not even be bribed with a stuffed animal Yeti as a reward for doing the ride. He was a real big trouper the whole trip, walking the whole way and keeping up with everyone without a stroller (which we thought we might need to get for him!) He was up bright and early without complaint to be apart of the cheer squad during the half marathon and was super fast in his own race - the 200 meter dash!
JJ was a real charmer to all the 'Ladies' during the character meals. He received one proposal of marriage...and sort of made one himself, although to EG and not one of the princesses. We will see how that works out:)
Since we have returned, JJ looks at the world through the prism of how everything could be made into a ride at Disney or Universal. We read a book, and he explains how that could be a roller coaster. We watch a movie...same thing. I personally think being an Disney Imagineer would be a fantastic career (although he insists upon working at Universal - either one would be cool)
One special memory is he was picked to 'open the slide' one day at the pool and even got a train hat and whistle to keep. Pretty cool! Speaking of pools, he was crazy nuts about going down the water slides at both our resorts and got lots of exercise walking up the stairs, sliding down, swimming to the side...over and over again!
According to JJ, his favorite memories were getting a stuffed animal in each park (dinosaur @ Universal, kermit @ Hollywood Studios, Duffy @ Epcot, Sorcerer Mickey @ Animal Kingdom and his most beloved Eyeore aka Jupiter at Magic Kingdom). He also loved playing tag with his friends throughout the waterfall area in the Canadian Pavilion at Epcot....sure, we go all that way, spend all that $$ and his favorite thing was something he could do (and does) in our backyard! But, it was a cool place!
Favorite ride: Hippograff and Cat in the Hat
Snack: Butterbeer!
Park/Land: Suessland @ Universal (although Harry Potter was pretty close second!) All in all,he liked Universal better...he saved his money for a Harry Potter wand, loved the Jurrisac Park ride, loved getting soaked on the barge ride...and Suessland was fabulous because he loves the books so much!
Favorite thing about the resort: animals made out of the towels
