My son will be 2.5 and my daughter will be 4.5 when we go for our first family trip in December. I was planning on waiting until my ds was a little older but I really wanted to bring my daughter now while she still believes the princesses are real. At 4.5, she should have some memories of it afterwards.
We took DS at 1 yo. We plan to take our twins in June 07 when they are 1.
I think that 1 is a great age to take the little ones, they are easier IMO and they are still free. DS loved looking at everything, and we took him on all of the rides he was allowed. It was great.
11 months...Our 3rd son turned 11 months on the first day of his first trip in Feb 2005. Funny, on our next trip (our 4th son's first trip) he'll also turn 11 months on the first day of the trip. Follow that? lol
My ds was only 5 months old on his first trip. He was along for the ride to celebrated his older sisters 5th birthday. We had a blast and DS just loved watching all the lights.
Actually my DD (now 19months) went twice before she was even born She has also been twice since being born. Shes been at ages 11 months and 15 months. At 15 months she was with us for a full week and we had a blast. She loves Stormalong Bay and apparently thinks the sand taste really really good.
In May 05 we took our ds5 and ds2. Ds2 celebrated his 3rd b-day there(he was still free ). We are going back this Dec. with our DD 6mo. Did anyone who took their kids who were this young regret taking them or did it work out great?
Flame suit on here....But why on earth would you take your children at such an early age? They can't remember it so why not save your money and do it when they are older? I took my DS for the 1st time when he was 4 years and I feel like that was 1 year too soon! My DD went when she was 7.5 for her 1st time and she still believed in princesses and the characters and actually still does at almost 9. Last time I was there I was just flabergasted with the amount of little babies and tiny toddlers. Is it because the parents want to go and can't bear to leave the kids at home? Wouldn't it be MUCH more fun without having to worry about diapers, formula/nursing, and all the other things that go with babies? And major meltdowns with 1 year olds and older?
I just don't get it! JMHO!
