Interesting! I was going to talk about how I "prep" son for WDW on my PTR, including what movies to show him.
My picks are based on how much that film is going to be "exposed" at the parks. So far, they are:
- Finding Nemo (2 rides and 1 major show at Epcot)
- Little Mermaid (1 ride at MK, 1 meet and greet at MK, 1 ride at HS)
- The Lion King (because I feel AK takes a lot of elements from Lion King, not just for the Festival of the Lion King show)
- Jungle Book (same as above)
- Toy Story (1 ride at MK, 1 meet and greet and 1 ride at HS)
- Frozen
- Winnie the Pooh (1 ride and several meet and greet op)
- Cinderella (the castle IS Cinderella's after all
)
- Peter Pan (because one of the best ride at MK is based on this film)
- Beauty and the Beast
I've also been showing him a bunch of Chip & Dale, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse classic short cartoons - not the new ones, not the Disney Jr ones. There's a bunch of them on Youtube. Of course he's free to watch whatever Disney films he likes, but I steer him towards the ones I mentioned above.
Hope this helps!
