So my DD is turning 2 in January and we are going to her first WDW visit in July (so she will be 2.5). She's currently terrified of Santa, team masscots, and other big characters in costumes that she's seen at parades, etc. So it's natural that we're a little nervous she will be afraid of all the Disney characters seeing as she might recognize them but obviously they are MUCH larger than they are on the TV!
Does anyone else have experience with their young child being afraid of character costumes at home but they are fine in Disney? Or maybe there was a certain way you approached the situation in Disney so a few days in he/she got used to meeting the characters?
If she ends up being afraid, obviously I'm not going to push the meet and greets this time around and there is much more to Disney than taking pictures with Mickey and friends. But I was just curious if anyone else out there faced a similar dilemma?
TIA!!!
