Walt Disney world with a kid

If you are a grandparent then your pleasure in life will be to spoil all of your grand kids and when they are full of energy you send them back to their parents ha, ha, ha). Of course not many of you will be afford this but if you can, bring them to Disney World. You will like it as much as them. It�s an event that you will always cherish.

 

Do you know any child that doesn�t like water (or at least swim)? Well they can have all their money�s worth in the various resorts. For example if you�re in Polynesia, then they will flip over the Volcano Pool. This is one of the coolest things ever with underwater music, great sceneries, waterfalls etc. No wonder they like it so much. Another great place is the Wilderness Lodge. Again, there is a waterfall the amaze the eyes, a geyser and finally a super nice waterslide. But, the most amazing place to swim with them is the Stormalong Bay. Do you want water? You got it all there. They have sand on the bottom of the pools which is unique, the tubes that will let you relax as you tour the complex, a whirlpool etc. I�m telling you, they have the works!

Your grand kids will thank you forever if you take them to dinner when you bring them to eat with their favorite Disney favorites characters. It doesn�t matter if you�re staying at one of their hotels or at the attraction parks, this activity is offered at both places. Just being able to be close to their �heroes� will be memorable. If you are in Norway, you will give them a chance to wear a princess robe and to eat with the three hottest princesses ever: Snow White, Belle and Sleeping Beauty. A cool thing to do if you�re at the main site is to go dine in Cinderella�s castle. (The one you see in the generic from Disney�s cartoons.) Make sure you reserve a month and a half in advance for this otherwise, you can kiss this activity goodbye.

One of the coolest thing when you�re a kid is to eat marshmallows around a campfire. Well if you take your grandkids to Fort Wilderness, they will experience that but they will watch a Disney movie at the same time. This is included in the package.

One of the nicest things that Disney�s park offer their clients is that they all get the privilege to enjoy the rides before the general public. As you may imagine, these rides are usually packed so it�s a nice thing to enjoy.

You will be greeted with one of the coolest parades ever where you will see incredible floats, where you will see your favorite characters and where the music will come out from everywhere. However, the big moment of the night belongs to Jiminy Cricket who will enchant you while he narrates you the fireworks.

You want to show your grandkids you are still cool? Just rent a mini boat that are designed for two persons and they will brag to all their friends how they were able to see Disney�s water park faster than anyone.

Finally a visit at any of the two water park will simply make your jaw drop in amazement. The first one is Typhoon Lagoon. If you like surfing, you will be able to go there and surf your hearts out whether you�re a kid, a teen or an adult. The other one is as good as the first one but the theme there are water slides (amazing water slides!).
