Taste of Disney

While our last trip was focused on my (then 3 year old) granddaughter, this visit to Disney World she had to share the spotlight with her little brother. So if you are wondering if a 4 1/2 year old and a 2 year old can successfully share the attention and excitement of a Disney trip, then this report might be of interest to you. Or if you are wondering how many adults it takes to keep two young children happy at Disney World (is 5 enough?), then this trip report could be of interest to you. Or if you are just here for the Disney food, then you are definitely in the right place. This trip had lots of food (with a special focus on Kid’s meals and character meals), along with lots of family fun and just a bit of drama…aka a trip to the Emergency Room in an ambulance. So if you are wondering would it would be like to have a medical emergency while at a Disney theme park then stay tuned, lol.

All of this to say, please join me for the Jabead family’s latest Disney World adventure!

A Quick Review of our Cast of Characters

Just like our last two trips, we were again a party of 7. It seems as though 7 is our lucky number. This time though instead of Jake and Becca, we had our son-in-law, Ben, and our grandson, Teddy, with us. This was Ben’s second trip to Disney World, with his first being in 2000 with his family. And as the title of this report indicates, this was 2 year old Teddy’s first Disney trip. The rest of our group was the same as last year, with my husband (Don), son (Andrew), daughter (Allison) and granddaughter (Lucy) again joining me on this trip.
