So Cole finally started inquiring about DISNEY WORLD last fall when he saw a commercial for it and realized that Mickey Mouse "lived" there (he didn't start watching the DISNEY channel until last summer since I attempted to avoid channels with commercials for as long as I could). "Can we go there tomorrow?", he said that afternoon. I explained where it was and that we had to take a plane to get there. I shared that it was like walking around the Minnesota State Fair in some regards as there were lots of rides, food and people but that DISNEY WORLD had the characters he saw on TV walking around. His eyes got big and he asked "are Jake and the Neverland Pirates there too!??".
Dave and I are not big fans of crazy crowded overpriced theme parks but do acknowledge the magic that DISNEY holds for a kiddo. We know that a trip is inevitable and that Cole will have an absolute blast (and we will too reveling in his glee).
He has gone hot and cold since with his interest as the DISNEY advertisements increase in intensity around holidays and vacation breaks. However, the most recent ad uses One Republic's song "Good Life". I must say it is the perfect tune for DISNEY's message.
That said and since the song is popular on the radio, Cole now says when he hears it "Mom, it is the DISNEY song, did you get our plane tickets yet, you have to do that soon!!?" How can one resist such an animated request!? I think a trip to DISNEY is in our sooner rather than later plans.
