I think it is first trip planning problems or expectations maybe. Mine was our 2nd full day. We had done WS on arrival night and AK day 1 and it was good, I thought. Day 2 was MK and I was convinced DD was in for the time of her life. Little did I know that between my decision to take her on the ride in Norway and DH's decision about It's Tough to Be a Bug, she flat out refused to ride anything that involved entering a building. After a morning of "I am scared and I don't want to" along with more times on the speedway and carousel than I can count, I lost it. I was crying in the middle of fantasyland because my 3.5 year old was too scared to go on It's a Small World. I felt like the trip was ruined and I had failed by scaring her. It took DH pointing out how happy she was just seeing everything and ride those 2 rides for it to be OK. We spent 3 more days without her riding anything but we had a magical trip.
On a happy note, on our last day I was trying so hard to get her on Small World. We were talking outside the ride when a wonderful CM came up to talk to her. He told her all about the ride and what she would see and hear and she was excited! I thought we had a breakthrough. He then asked her if she would like to ride with him and not wait in line and my DD answered "No, that's OK, you ride and I will just watch from here". I am so hoping this trip involves more rides and preferably ones that do not go around in a circle.
