when do you plan on taking you LO's to Disney? Have you already?
We're planning for next year some time. I haven't been since 98 so I am over due!

When they're old enough to remember it...so 7-8ish if not older?
I didn't get to go until HS and it was great in a lot of ways.
I refuse to shell out that kind of cash on something my toddler will never remember...lol.
I'm not really worried about them not remembering it. Thats what pictures are for and there's stuff they will only want to do when they are little and will miss out on it when they're older. And you kind of live vicariously through your kids..at least I do. It's so great seeing how excited they get. We took the boys to Sesame Place last week and it was great seeing how excited that go over things.
We too will be going with my parents, other wise I wouldnt go. We wouldnt be able to enjoy the rides because there will still be a ton of rides they won't be able to do.
Indy has been to Disneyland 8 times so far, were AP holders.
We plan on going to Disney World once were done having kids and they are a little older, 3-4
Why is that? Isnt it wicked crowded then though?
^^ This only we've just gone three times I think.... We live 20-25min away from Disneyland. We want to do Disneyworld and a Disney Cruise once DD is older and school age so maybe 5-8.
It wasn't busy at all when we went. Even though we were there 8 days, and had 4 adults, hardly got do anything. Yeah, you can do the rider swap, but it still takes FOREVER. Kiddos are overwhelmed and overstimulated, and can get crabby (although that didn't happen with DD, but did with my 15 month old nephew).
We took her to Disney World in November, when she was just over 3 months old. But, it originally was just a trip planned with friends who have a couple little girls (5 and 7), and the trip was planned and partially booked before we ever even conceived. We went ahead and went anyway, and it was super fun and I'm glad we did. She was still at the age where she just slept all the time in her stroller, and she actually seemed to love the noise and kids and fireworks and even the characters she met.
I'll say this though. I wouldn't go again with young kids without another adult couple. If it had just been us and a baby, we would have had to do the adult rides separately.
I think for a future trip I will wait until both kids are out of the nap stage, or at least at the point where they could doze in the stroller when needed. Also, if they aren't tall enough for the adult rides, I would go with another family so we would be able to do some stuff without the kids if we wanted to.
I would love to go on one with Lena! We did one when I was 10 and it was so much fun. Probably when she is a bit older. Grammy promised Greece in the meantime, so I won't complain!
