Wasn't sure where to post this. But I think here works!
My bf and I are going to WDW in March 2018. It's his first trip, so I'm excited for him. However, he has a lot of misconceptions about Disney and mildly dislikes most of the movies (at least until he starts watching -- he perked up at the final battle with Maleficent and some other clips he's seen). He also thinks he's seen them all, but every time I'm watching one he asks what it is and says he hasn't seen it. So I think his contempt prior to investigation is getting to him.
But anyway, I suggested yesterday that we'd be watching movies to psych up for our trip in March, and asked when he wanted to do that. He grumbled and groaned about it. Making me continue to be concerned at taking him on the trip, but he swears he wants to go and thinks it'll be fun (or fun enough).
He backpedaled a little and seems agreeable to watching at least a few movies. Which movies would you watch? I tried to explain that it would deepen his appreciation and understanding of the park if he had watched the movies and could recognize things -- he was highly skeptical. But to achieve those goals, any must-sees? He's already watched Beauty and the Beast with me.
I was thinking, for a very short list, Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Toy Story (or Finding Nemo), and Frozen (which I'm on the fence about, but I think it's funny). And maybe tempering it with some Star Wars, Indiana Jones.
Wooooo that's a long post. Thanks for your input!
