Well after Rome and just before a more recent trip to Paris, there was Orlando. Just picture it: a three-year-old all hopped up on Disney magic! A freshly-minted one-year-old, genuinely wondering if this is real life! There was action, there was adventure, there was a parade of little green army men marching through Toy Story Playland.

I’ve been asked more than a few times for tips on how to handle Disney World with two little ones. And, um, WHOA, BABY. DO I HAVE TIPS. That full post will have to come later, but my main ones? FastPass every single thing Frozen or Toy Story-related. Don’t ignore the classics (the teacups are extra fun with tiny ones!). Whatever you do, do not skip Toy Story Playland.

ShopDisney recently reached out to us to celebrate the release of Toy Story 4 (in cinemas now!). Margot has been asking if we can head back to Disney World basically since our return flight took off. I don’t love telling the girl no, but I AM all about bringing the magic home.

The best part? All would be great travel companions, either for in-flight distractions or some decompression playtime in the hotel room before or after a busy day.

woody interactive talking action figure // The first time Margot watched the original Toy Story, all she wanted was a Woody doll. He’s very clearly a must-have for any kid who’s convinced the toys all come alive whenever they leave the room. Who else will keep the playroom safe when somebody’s poisoned the water hole?!

slinky dog talking action figure // Two of the kids’ favorite toys are little pull-along animals. Neither of these animals talk (as far as we know…), which may put slinky dog ahead of the pack. Exactly where he belongs, obv.

toy story alien plush // Of all the Toy Story related toys we could have brought home from Disney, this is the one that made the cut. Henry, having never seen the movie, saw this little martian and turned into a real live version of the heart eye emoji. How can you say no?

toy story 4 create your own forky kit // Margot LOVES a craft. The problem is she can’t quite pronounce the “ft” sound yet… it comes out as more a “p” sound. This was awkward for me when she got an adorable little craft kit as a party favor, and told me she couldn’t wait to thank the birthday girl for her “crap.” I do not doubt that she will be team Forky, and this craFFFTTTT kit will be another useful way for me to try and work on her diction. Win/win.

buzz lightyear light-up costume for kids // We are big into dress-up these days, and while he’s a total trooper, I do feel like Henry would appreciate a more manly addition to our little collection of princess dresses and flower crowns. Although, let’s be honest, the moment Margot realizes this thing lights up, she’ll stake her claim.

bo peep costume for kids // Because what better way to teach them both that girls are heroes, too? And even heroes need to accessorize.

gabby gabby pop! vinyl figure by funko // As my parents learned from The Little Mermaid and I have already learned from Frozen, little red-haired girls latch onto red-haired cartoons and do not. let. go. While Gabby Gabby doesn’t look much like my own little ginger kid, this figurine version absoLUTEly does.

toy story 4 toy box words to play by book // We try to limit the kids’ TV time to travel days and special occasions. I’ve found that books featuring their favorite TV and movie characters are a good holdover when I’m trying to keep screentime down during the week, and this little set looks perfect.

rex knit shirt and pants set for baby // Henry loves nothing more than to roar, and while lions and tigers and bear will all do, DINOS really bring it out of him. This Rex set is impossibly cute.

SO, fellow Pixar lovers. What do you have your eye on?

xo!
