We will be taking our son, who will be almost 3, on his first WDW trip at the beginning of February. He's been to Disneyland, and remembers it well and fondly, but I'd really like to use the time before we go to expose him to things that will maximize his enjoyment this trip. The only characters he knows are Mickey and the Pooh and Bug's Life characters, as well as those in the Playhouse Disney show. I have plans to rent Toy Story for him today. Can anyone (especially those who have recently been to WDW) give me suggestions for other must-see Disney movies for him, based on what characters he'll be most likely to come across right now, as well as to help him get comfortable with some of the rides? His comfort level is relatively low - he adores the Fantasyland attractions, but POTC, my favorite at his age, was a definite mistake. He does fine with characters, though...meeting Mickey was the highlight of his DL trip!
I believe that the familiarity of Toy Story and other movies will help with his enjoyment of, say, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, as well as give him another set of characters that he'll want to interact with.
Any other ideas besides particular movies to get him prepared and excited would also be appreciated!
