Pros & Cons of taking a 1 1/2 year old vs. a 2 1/2 year old
My wife and I have a son who will be 2 1/2 in October 2010, which has always been the schedule for his first trip to WDW. However, while we were watching a TV show on Disney thrill rides, I got to browsing Intercot's ride restrictions page and was surprised at the height restrictions for some rides I thought a 2 1/2 year old might could ride. So, it hit me like a ton of bricks...why not go a year early, at 1 1/2 years old? My logic was that it appears that there isn't really anything that a 2 1/2 year old can do that a 1 1/2 cannot.
BUT, since our son is our first child, we really are clueless about the development of the two different ages in terms of his ability to enjoy (or understand) the parks. So, for those with more experience than I, what are the pros and cons of going at 1 1/2 vs. at 2 1/2.
PS: At much as we might like, going at both ages will not be an option... :(
