Taking Kids to Disneyland...
So, my H wants to go to Disneyland when A is three. I think it is much too young and we should take her when she is at least five. I went when I was four and that was pushing it.
Just out of curiosity, at what age would you take your kid to a place like Disenyland?

Re: Taking Kids to Disneyland...
TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
On a smaller scale. We just took DS who is 3 to Silverwood in Idaho last week. We went for 1 day. He loved the water park area there is a large younger kid area with spray stuff and some small slides.
He hated the rides and was only big enough for maybe about 5 of them and DS is pretty tall for his age. He had a look of terror on almost ever ride we put him on. He only did 3 rides.

I took Alex when he was 3 and a half and it was perfect. I would have NOT done a big huge week long thing there - we did one day - and it was enough. 3 is a great age to go.
Although once I had Willow my mom demanded that I take her to Disneyland everytime I took Alex. BUT I HATE TAKING BABIES TO DISNEYLAND. It is nothing but a lot of work and is NOT FUN, and stole away my attention from Alex once he was older.
I do not understand taking a baby to Disneyland. But my sister did it with both her kids, and I had to every year with Willow. This was the first year she truly enjoyed it.

We visited relatives in FL when N was 9mo and took him to Disney World. He Loved it. I?m meh on Disney usually, but seeing my baby that excited over everything was amazing. He loved the dumbo ride, the Toy Story ride and the pretty princesses. If we weren?t there to visit family, I wouldn?t have made a special trip. If you two want to go, take her! Don?t buy into the ?She won?t remember it? BS. She?ll have fun in the moment. If we waited to do fun things with our kids until they remembered it, there would be no fun until they were 4 or 5.
Nap time was a challenge, but once I put him in the carrier he fell asleep on me.
We went to Dollywood in May and even though he could only go on a handful of rides, he had a fantastic time and still talks about the scrambler and star shooter. It was the toddler rides that bored him silly.
Disneyland would b a good park to tie together with a San Diego trip. That's what we'll likely do in a year or so.
Plus, if you take her before she turns 3, she gets in free.
It really depends on your kid. Meg is 4 and is DYING to go. She begged to go for her 4th birthday and I told her that it was very expensive and that we couldn't. So in lieu of gifts, she asked for money for her Disneyland fund. She saved about $200. She is very much into princesses and can't wait to meet them. And she loves rides and wishes that she could go on adult rides. She doesn't nap regularly, but I'm assuming that she will need one on our trip.
We are going in September but not taking the little kids.
So, to the "I would never" responses, you don't really know what you would do until your child is that age and all kids are different.
Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.
