Learned some great things from these posts!
I do have to say after getting up a the crack of dawn to get to Chef Mickey's this past week for 8am ressies, I was totally unimpressed! The only participation they even do is twirl your napkins to one short song, and the food was not nearly as good as other breakfast buffets we have had. I was also not impressed with Contemporary itself. I stayed at Swan and Dolphin and for less than twice the price I had great accomodations, conceirge, resort transport and first class service.
Hollywood and Vine w/ Little Einsteins had much better food and way more kid participation. Much much better for the money or the Table service credit.
*Bugs Life in AK freaked my 4yr DD out and we had to leave!
*Snow Whites Scary was just that, scary for a 4 yr old.
*Akershus Storybook Princesses for lunch, just not that good of food for $$, would definitely try breakfast b/c Princess interaction was very good, just as good as the Castle and we had both.
*Ariel's Grotto, that line never moves, we have never made it to the front, stood waiting at the halfway point for over an hour why can't people just move on and consider others behind them?? Only good thing there is the water play while you wait, still won't do it again ever.
*Diddo on Space Mountain, you see that bad boy in the light and realize just why they say "keep arms down on this ride"!
*Buzz Lightyear and the new Toy Story ride are exactly alike, except you will wait 4 hours for Toy Story at HS.
Diddo on easing kids onto rides. I won't ever talk my DD into riding anymore rides, only one she ever likes was Small World and all the ones she can see outside of in Fantasy Land like Dumbo. POC scared her and so did Star Wars in HS, she won't go in any in the dark anymore!
Also, I will never, ever stay off property again! Had ressies at hotel outside of park and only stayed there long enough to sleep and check out first thing the next morning. Moved over to Swan and Dolphin and never looked back! You know you can trust that Disney will keep their resorts to a certain standard. Never will I trust even a high end hotel chain around Disney to live up to Disney resort standards. I could have paid $10 more a night to get a value resort and saved the entire sleepless night on the internet finding available ressies for the rest of our trip! Lesson learned the hard way!

This seems to be making him a little more comfortable with going and not being bored or scared.
. You also get jostled around like your a milkshake. The whole thing proved to be too much for our DD and she was crying her eyes out by the end of it.
