I was seven years old and was the only “big” family trip ever. My first plane ride too! What a feeling! My big brothers watched over me and held my hand the entire trip. My Grandfather paid for the trip sadly he passed away last year. I can’t see Disney stuff anymore unless I know a child cause I know I’ll never go back. I dream to go back. I only wish I wasn’t so scared of rides, yet I was only a kid!

The Gillettes seem like real jerks.

I laufh about this, but my Mom has been telling me that we are going to go to WDW since I was in elementary school. First it was “by the time we are in high school we’ll go.” When I graduated it was “when you are in college we’ll go.” Well I have graduated college and it is looking like we will finally be able to go.

My mom promised me we would go when I was around 8, and I am now 23! My parents have had some rough years financially and my dad just got an awesome job, so we are planning to go to WDW next year. I have been waiting for that for about 15 years!!

J.M. I totally agree..
a celebrity dad said that the other night on the tonight show(or jimmy kimmel live).. he was like “why make me go thru all the suffering when they wont even remember it”…lol a harsh way to put it
but my girls are 18 months and 3 so i think im going to wait a few years..but i cant wait!

Children don’t remember Disney Land/World most of the time when they’re under 2. I wouldn’t even think about taking my kids until they were atleast 3 or 4. Disney can be expensive and if we’re going to take the trip I want them to be able to remember it. If you can afford to go as many times as you’d like that’s a different story. But most kids don’t really get into until preschool age. I also want them to be self sufficient enough to get to walk the part and be able to ride on some of the rides and have us as parents enjoy it with them.

My son was 11 months when we went to WDW for the first time. He loved ALL the characters, especially Stitch who we got to have breakfast with at Ohana. He rode a lot of the rides, including Maelstrom at Epcot, and just had a ball.

Our first trip (with our 3 yr old daughter) to Disneyland Paris was a month ago, she loved it!
Her favorite rides: “it’s a small world”, “Peter Pan’s Flight”, “Buzz lightyear”, “Dumbo the flying elephant”, “Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups”, “Casey Jr Le petit train du cirque”…etc!
And favorite characters: all the princess!! and winnie the Pooh
I was 11 yrs old the first time I went to Disneyland (in Orlando)and I remember i enjoyed everything!!!

Funny this Amellia can’t see the pictures either

I don’t think that one is ever too young to experience the magic of Disney’s theme parks. However, I do think its great if kids can go every few years to experience it at different stages.

My poor hubby’s parents promised him a visit for years and he didn’t get to go until our honeymoon – it was love at first sight for him and we try and go every 2-4 years now.

I can’t see the pictures either
